Venice Favorites

1 week until we leave for Italy!! It's unbelieveable how fast the time has flown. Alberto's (and my) to-do list is slowly getting shorter and this weekend is a big packing weekend for the trip. In preparation for the trip, below are some of our Venetian favorites!

• al Paradiso Ristorante - This is our favorite restaurant in Venice. No reservations required. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. Every time we go to Venice we make sure we stop by for lunch or dinner. The owner is a friendly guy that walks the tables and talks to every customer. Last time he told us that in the mornings he goes to the local fish market so all his dishes are the freshest. It's close to the Rialto Bridge on Calle Paradiso near "ALBERGHI - NUOVA RESIDENZA LAGUNA"
• Harry's Bar http://www.harrysbarvenezia.com/ - Perhaps a bit of a tourist trap but this small bar serves a mean Bellini and has some cool history behind it. Earnest Hemingway used to frequent this establishment. They have many different types of Bellinis and the traditional is my favorite.
