Rivoaltus

Beautiful hand-bound diaries and address books can be purchased from this tiny shop right on the Rialto bridge.
Rizzo

Unbeatable gourmet food from all over Italy – buffalo mozzarella, creamy Asiago cheese, cured Parma ham and gleaming olives. Pizza and focaccia can be found at the bread counter.

Confectionery at Rizzo
Rizzo

Feel like jet-black tagliatelle ribbons made from cuttlefish ink for dinner? Or perhaps the blue Curaçao variety or the multi-coloured Carnival masks? These are only a taste of more than 40 imaginative pasta shapes by Rizzo – a marvellous souvenir.
Rubelli

Venice’s past contact with the Orient is conjured up by the sumptuous handmade furnishings in this showroom. A blend of computer technology and traditional techniques is used for the brocades, damasks and silks.
Sabbie e Nebbie

Tasteful boutique of pottery, candles and oddities from Japan and Italy.
Salmoiraghi & Vigano

Italian spectacles are stylish and good value, and this well-reputed optometrist can make up prescription glasses the same day.
San Leonardo Market

In the morning and late afternoon this area functions as a lively open-air produce market. In autumn the air is thick with the aroma of roasting chestnuts.
Signor Blum

Detailed jigsaw models of Gothic palaces, flanked by wall panels and painted toy figures all individually handmade by this co-operative of female artisans.
Silverwork

Photo frames, letter openers and teaspoons make lovely gifts for friends.
T-shirts

The essential guaranteed souvenir of Venice, sold at the ubiquitous street stalls.
