Simple, friendly restaurant between Campo Santa Margarita and the Frari, much frequented by locals (always a good sign).

Excellent sarde in saor (a typically Venetian starter, sardines marinated with onions giving a sweet-sour flavour), good fish generally, and pasta cooked to perfection.

Pleasant service and highly drinkable house red (merlot) make this a recommended spot. Inexpensive.
