Boutique del Gelato

There’s inevitably a queue outside this popular gelateria . Try the tangy limone (lemon) or fragola (strawberry) ice cream or creamy gianduiotto (hazelnut-chocolate).
Brek

Right across from the Arena, this well-reputed self-service Italian chain restaurant offers a vast variety of meats, cheeses and vegetable dishes.
Brek

A self-service restaurant open from breakfast to dinner, everything prepared as you wait.
Caffè al Ponte del Lovo

Venetian sweetmeats can be enjoyed here, but most come for the Spritz apéritif, reputedly the best in town (see Spritz).
Caffè Brasilia

Tuck in to a huge fresh fruit salad smothered with yogurt or a tramezzino sandwich in this quiet side-alley café. The coffee’s good too.
Caffè Dante Ristoratore

This stylish café can be found in a quiet historic square surrounded by graceful palaces. The place to be seen, sipping tea amid potted palms and cane chairs.
Caffè Pedrocchi

This 1831 Neo-Classical coffee house was long known as the “café without doors” because it never closed. Liberals of the 19th century would meet and argue here, though today, after a renovation, it’s rather quiet.
Cantina Do Mori

Rows of copper polenta pots hang overhead in this dark, popular bar, billed as the city’s oldest osteria . The affable owners pour wine directly from huge demi-johns and serve delicate postage stamp-sized ham and salad sandwiches (francobolli ).
Carpaccio

Raw beef sliced thin and sprinkled with flakes of Parmesan cheese or rocket (arugula).
Ca’ Vignotto

Book in advance to eat at this rambling farmhouse turned trattoria. Dishes include dumplings with crab and artichokes or asparagus lasagne.
