Eating Outdoors in Venice
Eating at a shaded table on a lively campo, square, or on a small calle, lane, is a summer pleasure.
Here are some of our favorites: Antiche Carampane, Ancora, Aqua Pazza, Art Blue Café, Bancogiro, Da Fiore, Florian, Quadri, La Rivista.

Harry’s Dolci
The Giudecca branch of Harry’s Bar is only open from April through October when it’s pleasant to sit at the outdoor tables on the quay and look back at Venice. It’s less historic than the original but its charms are more obvious, as the waterfront seating and view merit a full afternoon of lingering. The emphasis may be on their sweets, dolci, but you can order a light lunch (club sandwich or carpaccio) or dinner (the house pastas and tuna, of course) as long as you are prepared for a hefty bill. Closed Tuesdays.
