One of my top three restaurants in Venice . Highly thought of by venetians . A busy restaurant in a little calle by the Rialto bridge . Very popular with locals and tourists alike . No bookings taken so it's advisable to be there close to opening at 7pm . The staff are friendly and chatty , service efficient and the food excellent - the whole array of venetian classic dishes . Handily close to the ancient Cantina Do Mori where you can have a nice glass of wine as an aperitivo prior to your meal . Superb restaurant . Highly recommended .

This is , for me , one of the top three restaurants in Venice , along with Vini da Gigio and Alla Madonna . [Why are'nt they in DK's top ten I wonder] ? Anice Stellato is in northern Cannaregio and so does'nt see many tourists . Despite this , it is so popular with locals that , like Vini da Gigio , you have to book well in advance . I actually telephoned from Scotland ten days before and I'm glad that I did as on the night the staff turned away a number of people who had turned up on the off chance of getting a table .Sevice was friendly and brisk . Again , trying to speak a little Italian certainly helps . The food was excellent , the first course of prawns in a basil sauce was to die for . I will definitely be returning on my next visit . Highly recommended .
