"Tucked away deep in residential Venice but very close to the Fondamente Nove stops, Osteria Alla Frasca is a gorgeous spot to eat beneath a wisteria-covered pergola where market-fresh produce informs dishes ranging from chianina steak carpaccio with parmesan to gnocchi with shrimp and zucchini, mixed seafood pasta, and braised tuna steak; the young, knowledgeable waiters know when to leave you to finish your bottle of good local wine in peace and will advise on pairings." - Anne Hanley
