Settle in at Caffè Quadri, the 1638 café on St Mark's Square. Sip a shaken espresso or a martini with live music playing, and finish with a fresh dessert.
Full description
Caffè Quadri is an opulent historic café on St Mark's Square, dating from 1638, where you can order coffee, martinis and snacks. Reviewers describe an incredible location and music at no extra cost, and one visitor found the desserts fresher and tastier than at the more famous Florian next door.
An espresso bar offers shaken espresso drinks at a more approachable price than a seated table. Prices overall are high, as on all the piazza cafés, and a 3.6 rating reflects mixed feelings about value, but the setting and desserts are consistent highlights.
