La Colonna
Calle Fumo, 30121 Venice, Italy
(39) 41-522-9641
Off the beaten path in the Cannaregio neighborhood, this small trattoria has been a longtime favorite of Venice connoisseurs. Writes chef and cookbook author Marcella Hazan in City Secrets: Florence & Venice: “When Bruno Paolato was a partner chef in Ai Mercanti, that establishment was one of our favorite hangouts. Bruno fell out with his partners and ensconced himself in this small, charming trattoria. It has tables for outdoor dining in inclement weather, and it is happily off the tracks that tourists usually beat.” Closed Sunday evenings and Mondays.
