At first sight, “Nono Colussi” (literally Grandfather Colussi) shop seems like an ordinary bakery. In this historical place, biscuits and cakes are freshly baked daily since 1956.
The reason to look for this spot is the typical Venetian “focaccia”. A soft and fluffy cake made with yeast base. Nono Colussi’s way to bake this sponge focaccia is the most famous in town and it’s worth the walk and the price (€ 17 for the small one) for tasting it. When I was a child, my aunt usually bought this delicious sweet focaccia for me and my sister. We used to enjoyed it, slice by slice in less than one day.
While you are waiting for the package of your focaccia, you can try another amazing pastry baked by Nono Colussi. I really suggest the krapfen stuffed with cream: a real stairway to Heaven.

It is interesting to note that the Africa experience dishes are culturally “contaminated”, in the sense that the recipes have gradually evolved thanks to this incredible journey of people who have mixed flavors and also brought culinary culture.

Estro is anything you want it to be: wine bar, aperitivo pit stop, or sit-down degustation restaurant. The 500 wines – all of them naturally processed – are chosen by young-gun owners Alberto and Dario, whose passion for quality extends to the grub, from cicheti (Venetian tapas) topped with house-made porchetta (roast pork) to roasted guinea fowl and a succulent burger dripping with Asiago cheese.

Marco and Francesco were architects who, when the economic crisis hit, decided to open this small, cosy wine bar.
The venue was designed by the owners themselves, with all the decor being vintage pieces from their family's home (think nonna's table, auntie's lamp...). Their plan was to create an aperitivo bar with a wicked boat dock perfect for sitting down at or arriving by canal.
The restaurant is inspired by the Adriatic Sea, and the name, Malvasia, owes to wine from Crete Island in Greece. The food is from local orchards on the islands of the lagoon, and they only serve seasonal products — this is almost literally zero-kilometre cuisine. The restaurant is the owners' way of commemorating the relationship between Venice and the Adriatic Sea.
