Venice eating at Christmas

[Navelli Elf Posse]

Dear all

We would be really grateful for some helpful advice as to any restaurants in Venice over Christmas. Taking the mother and all that, so want to make it special...

We know that eating (or rather finding a place that's open) can be difficult and we will have to book, but does anyone have any recommendations for places that will be open and not, hopefully too expensive? If there aren't any particular recommendations, where could we start to look?

Hoping that we won't have to take a sandwich in the suitcase....

Grazie grazie ciao ciao

I think there are recommendations in the Venice section... it is not a cheap place to eat, I can warn you, but unmissable.

Difficult question... as Penny says, Venice is not particularly cheap. We had a very good meal at the Osteria dalla Vedova, also known as "Ca d'Oro) in the Cannaregio area; however, I do not know whether they will be open at Xmas time. I remember we payed something like 60 euros for two and it was excellent and excellent value for money comparing with some other restaurants we visited..
Trying to find the address for you, I found this link which may be useful: Listings of where to eat in Venice - Italy - Chowhound. They mention alla Vedova and they basically say what I a telling you, but you could read the other reviews as well.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the tips

Any more gratefully received....I sense that entertaining mum may be even more difficult than I thought......
