The small food market right... and other Venice, Italy Restaurant Reviews

The small food market right before Rialto's bridge (in the picture), if you come from the railway station. One of the rare remannts of daily life uin Venezia. The city itself is dying, nomal people cannot afford to live in a place far from the common services, where any single ggod is charged 50% more than in any city around, where the pressure of the environment is so strong over the buildingfs your flat will need costant repair at sky-high prices. Lots of flats are sold to romantic rich foreigners, they will come here a couple of weeks per year; and then the students.... Venezia has a very well known faculty of Architecture and a strong faculty of Languages, among the others. But students are living their own life, as in a separate parallel universe: everyday life almost disappeared.
Restaurants.... there are so many, but the vast majority is making business because of the tourist, not on the basis of common people, not even professionals or public servants which are typically travelling and eating out for business meals. My suggestion would be to take care and try to limit the damages, eother to your stomach or to your wallet. Of course, I cannot deny the experience of sipping a warm chocolate with cream while sitting in an autumn afternoon in the fading light in Piazza San Marco is something whose value goes well beyond the pure cost of the raw materials, but this is not always true!
