and for downtown real venice, this sounds great:
Do Mori, Venice
In Venice, there is a 548-year-old wine bar called Do Mori. It is near Rialto Bridge and is named after the two moors who served here in the 17th century. It is a charming and atmospheric place that amounts to little more than a dark corridor between two alleys. The food is simple: small snacks (known as ciccheti) such as salt cod on polenta, anchovies on toast, tiny soft sandwiches called francobolli (postage stamps) and, in winter, pig's trotter sausage in broth. The wine is local: Custoza from the Veneto, Pinot Bianco from Friuli. At around 11 every morning the place fills up with traders from the nearby Rialto fish market, coming in for their first ombra of the day (an ombra is a small glass of plonk, literally "shadow"). The service is unsmiling and blunt but you don't care; you know that this is the real Venice, hidden, simple, unpretentious, and pretty much unchanged for half a century.
