Stop at Gelateria Nico, a long-standing parlour with a terrace by the water. Try the famous gianduiotto with whipped cream, then carry it to the lagoon steps and watch the water.
Full description
Gelateria Nico is an enduring ice cream parlour and café with terrace seating, open from 7 am to 10 pm. Its signature is the gianduiotto, a chocolate-hazelnut ice cream block served with whipped cream, which reviewers call one of the best they have had.
Another favourite is the crocante with rum. Ordering to go is cheaper than table service, and a popular way to enjoy the ice cream is on the steps by the lagoon.
Ratings are mixed at 3.9, mostly over service rules and seating, but the gelato itself earns consistent praise.

Friendly and nice service. Try the Crocante con Rum - delicious. Or the famous chocolate cube ice. We loved it. Get it as take away at sit on the steps to the lagoon. That is how Italy feels like. :-)
