"When you’ve had about enough of Venetian traditions, Anice Stellato is a good place to come for some different flavors. The gastro-osteria, in the northern Cannaregio district, was among the first restaurants in the city to inject far-flung international touches into Venetian traditions. The name translates to "star anise," but you’ll find ginger, cilantro, hoisin, and many other decidedly non-Venetian ingredients." - Anne Hanley
