Cross to Giudecca and settle in at La Palanca, where Venice looks beautiful from a distance. Order the fresh seafood pastas and tagliata at a window table while locals fill the room around you.
Full description
La Palanca is a relaxed restaurant on the waterfront of Giudecca, valued for looking back at Venice from a calmer vantage point. Reviewers describe a mostly local crowd, friendly servers and fresh seafood: tuna tagliata to start, then sea bass ravioli, spaghetti with prawns or grilled sea bass.
The window seats get the best view, so they are worth asking for. Prices sit at the budget-friendly end for Venice, and it opens from early morning until evening, which makes it easy to fit around a day of wandering.
It suits couples and anyone wanting an unhurried, authentic meal.

Everything came out fresh and well cooked, the service was attentive without being pushy, and the view/location really adds to the experience. Would…
