🇮🇹 Must-Try Restaurants in Venice: Squid Ink Pasta

After days of eating my way through Venice, I’ve compiled a list of food spots loved by locals and travelers alike 😋 🍴 Fried Land ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (menu attached) 📍 Campiello dei Fiori, 2287, 30100 Venezia VE Best value for money! A small spot right in the heart of Venice serving crispy fried seafood and rich squid ink pasta 🦞. Most dishes under €10. 💶 Two can share a squid ink pasta + fried seafood platter for just over €10! 🚤 Get off at Ca' D'Oro water bus stop and walk a few minutes. It’s tucked away in a quiet alley—look for the sign in the photo! 🍦 Suso Gelato ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📍 Sotoportego de la Bissa, 5453, 30124 Venezia The best gelato in Venice! Just 500m from the famous Libreria Acqua Alta 📚. Rich flavors—highly recommended by locals. 🍝 Da Michele ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 📍 Via Cappuccina, 177, 30172 Venezia VE Located near Mestre Station. Famous for generous portions—their seafood pasta and squid ink pasta are huge 🍴! A bit salty for my taste, but still decent. ~€20-25/person. Not worth a special trip, but okay if you’re nearby. 🥢 Huáqiáo Fàndiàn (Overseas Chinese Restaurant) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐ 📍 Via Piave, 149, 30171 Venezia VE Also near Mestre Station. A Wenzhou-style Chinese restaurant 🥡. Dishes range €6-12—great value. Their twice-cooked pork is delicious! Some other places were just okay—won’t list them here 😅 Stay tuned for more Venice travel + transport guides! ✨ #VeniceEats #SquidInkPasta #ItalyTravel #FoodGuide
