Vini da Gigio
A family-run Cannaregio osteria with a deep wine cellar and classic Venetian cooking.
The call
Worth it if you only have one day and you are traveling as a couple.
Why
- 01
Wood-panelled, warm, and run by a sibling team — one in the kitchen, one over the wine list.

Comfortable rather than fashionable, with a cellar that punches well above the room.
