Name of Shop: Pasticceria LUIGI PALMISANO
The shop is on Burano on the main street near a wooden bridge.
What To Buy: S-shaped Buranelli biscuits. I had had some of these biscuits with ice cream at the restaurant hear Rialto bridge (see my restaurant tip) and wasn't sure where to find them.
I found this shop on the main street in Burano. The biscuits are actually quite heavy so be careful about buying a big bag for gifts. I did and had to eat some of them before I packed my case - honestly, it's not just an excuse.........
What To Pay: Not very expensive, depends on the size bag you buy.

Name of Shop: Ca Del Sol Maschere
I always stop by here when I'm in Venice. I buy a mask every year and it's usually from this shop or the one a couple of doors down.
They also have another shop just across the bridge opposite. You cross the bridge and the door is directly on your right.
What To Buy: Masks, traditional tri-corn hats. They also hire out costumes etc during carnival. They also run courses which can be booked by phone.
What To Pay: Varies widely depending on what you want. From a little to a lot!

Name of Shop: Atelier Marega
This shop is a couple of doors down from Ca Del Sol mask shop (see my shopping tip).
I buy a mask every year in Venice and it's usually either from here or Ca Del Sol.
They have 2 other shops both in San Polo - one in Campo San Rocco and the other at San Toma Calle Larga.
They have blanks on the units at the far end of the shop which are relatively inexpensive which you can take away and trim/decorate how you would like.... I think I only paid about 8 Euros for the usual style mask for across the eyse and forehead.
I got a discount for paying cash too rather than using a card. They will, I believe, send your purchases home for you to save you having to take it on the plane.
What To Buy: Masks
What To Pay: From a little to a LOT!
