TLDR: Cheap, quick, and convenient, but don't come expecting standout food. Friendly service and a…read morevariety of options, but the quality is very average. Overview: Roticceria Gislon is a no-frills spot near the Rialto Bridge, tucked slightly off the main path on the right side of Calle de la Bissa. It's easy to miss but works well if you're looking for a fast, affordable meal. Service is quick, prices are low, and the menu offers a wide range of ready-to-eat dishes. Food: I stopped in for an early lunch and grabbed takeout. The staff was kind and helpful, and the server spoke English, which made ordering easy. I started with battagin (fried fish bites; in this case, cod) and crema fritta Gislon (deep-fried custard). Both were on the greasy side, but given the price, they were fine. The fish was slightly overcooked, though nicely seasoned. The crema fritta was fairly bland: not terrible, just unremarkable. I also tried the bigoli in salsa and spaghetti al ragù. The bigoli sauce was watery and collected at the bottom of the container. The ragù was dry and lacked depth of flavor. Additionally, the pasta was overcooked in both dishes. Overall: Roticceria Gislon is a decent stop if you need a quick, inexpensive bite and aren't too fussy about quality. The service is friendly and efficient, but the food left me underwhelmed.

I got a Spritz Artigianale with Select (Select over Aperol in Venice..) Starters: - Local razor clams: much smaller than we've had elsewhere but super flavorful and so great - Carpaccio of local fish: sea bass, tuna, swordfish, and shrimp - all very fresh, with olive oil and salt. It came with a wasabi sauce and a tartar type of sauce, but we liked the simple, plain preparation - Spaghetti with shrimp and prawns alla busara: with an uni like sauce on top, rich and good in texture - Fettuccine: fresh pasta with spider crab sauce Service was friendly, and the outside setting was actually really nice because it was a quiet area - nice as a more relaxing lunch stop just far enough away from the Rialto Market.

That's a pretty awesome realization, but we also didn't have reservation and didn't know where to go. Again, a nice problem to have. Since my partner is not a huge fan of seafood, we found Bitta as a top option. We called and were lucky enough to find a reservation later in the evening. Upon arrival, the woman was on the phone with someone making a reservation in April! Which was a pretty assuring sign that it's going to be a good night :) We were seated promptly and given menus. There were so many good options, but we decided to go with the beef tarare, ragu Bolognese and the duck. And a bottle of wine for good luck! Overall, the food was incredible. After a long day of travel, we inevitably are every bite/too much, but NO regrets. The ambiance is super cozy and homey, the service is warm and the food is excellent!
