Tucked away from the bustles of town and not far from St Mark's Square, Ristorante Cantina Canaletto is a real treat to all the city break visitors in Venice. The restaurant is splited into two distinctive areas, one is a serene dining room and the other is a buzzing wine bar. The restaurant is classically decorated with beamed ceilings, and an impressive array of wine bottles to adorn the walls. Highlights of the menu include white polenta with lagoon shrimps, the best mortadella of Bologna made by Pasquai, grilled sea bass and grilled lobster. An excellent choice for seafood lovers is the starter platter, with eight seafood tasters.
