Yes it takes a little effort to get here but if you take the time you will discover one of the true gems of Venice. The beautiful island of Torcello and its icon the Locanda Cipriani (owned still by the family who also opened Hotel Cipriani and Harry’s Bar), has charmed bold-faced names like Ernest Hemingway and the members of the British Royal Family during its storied career since the 1930s. With an outdoor terrace surrounded by rose gardens (and the spire of the 8th century church in sight), we agree that there are few more pleasant places to eat al fresco. Don’t miss the legendary Bellini and the soft-shelled local crab.
