In what is considered a stunning blow to mask stores, burger chains, and sellers of tiny glass gondola-shaped candle holders, two new Osterias that serve "typical Venetian food" have actually opened their doors in Venice. In a city with a locally owned retail base that is crumbling faster than than the stucco on a 14th-century palazzo, this is a Big Deal. It was a top story Il Gazzettino this week.
The first restaurant, with hard-to-miss ironic symbolism, replaces a large Internet cafe in Campo Santo Stefano. It's called Doge Morosini, and it's run by a twenty-something named Giacomo Donato, from a Calabrian family that has another nearby restaurant close to Calle della Mandole, called Feluca. That a large Internet cafe has been shuttered in Venice vindicates my wife, who decisively scuttled my scheme to open one there in 1999.
The other restaurant, "A Sconte", tucked in an alley close to Salizada San Lio, is named after a Venetian kids' game called "pe sconte". This sixty-seater is aimed squarely at the local Venetians, with lots of traditional recipes, particularly the fishy ones.
That is a great idea, thanks for the information!

I love when people tell me they are going to Venice and I can send them to great shops and restaurants they would probably not find on their own.

While we are there we are all celebrating a birthday so would love to hear of any personally recommended restaurants in the locale (with address).

I visited the restaurant Doge Morosini a couple of weeks ago, and I should say the food is exquisite, there are not words to describe it. However, the service and the ambiance aren't premium... the owners should enhance this to increase their quantity of clients.

Oh! I want to try eating at those restaurants soon! Gosh, I really regret not taking that risk of starting my own restaurant back at home. I have a lot of friends who can help me handle the job. Some of my friends have worked with accounting software like the Peachtree Quantum series. They can help me with the accounting using the recent version, Peachtree Quantum 2011. Some of my friends have great managerial skills. Some of my friends are great cooks, too! Anyway, I really hope I can eat in those restaurants. Just the description makes my mouth water. I love eating fish!
