Osteria Madonnetta

Situated just a stone’s throw from the square with its famous chessboard, this authentic trattoria boasts a warm, inviting dining room and an outdoor space shaded by wisteria. Run by the same family for 120 years, the restaurant serves regional specialities such as tripe soup, bigoli pasta with various sauces, Vicenzo-style bacalà (salted cod), Venetian liver and desserts such as zaeti biscuits and macafame bread pudding. As there are just a few tables and the restaurant is very popular, booking ahead is recommended.
