"Quadri is one of the classics of piazza San Marco, a remarkable historic landmark that's been in business since 1775. Now run by the dynamic Alajmo brothers, the venerable café got a revamp in 2018 by French designer Philippe Starck, and has been revitalized without losing any of its 18th-century charm. Quadri has all the standard Italian liquid offerings but more. And with a largely foreign clientele, it’s more attuned to details like lactose intolerance and picky diets than some other Venetian spots." - Anne Hanley
