It's really difficult to avoid non touristy restaurants in Venice. I tend to avoid the San Marco district and eat in the little local taverns and cafes around the San Paulo area. If you jump on a vaporetto on the grand canal and get off at the San Silvistro stop you'll be in the right area. Just avoid places near to the Rialto.

For a good day trip you could go to the Lido, Murano or Burano etc. Alternatively you could get a train from Ferrovia on the Grand canal to Verona or Padua as neither are very far away.

Buona fortuna

I worked in Lido and visited venice a few times last year. There's a great square just by the university where the cafes and restaurants are cheap and there are hardly any tourists there at all. Its a little way from rialto bridge but the atmosphere is brilliant.

Sitting in san marco square for coffee can cost a fortune- about 15-20 euros for the privilege but again the atmosphere is great.

There's also a town called treviso which you can get to by bus (you can't buy tickets on the bus- you can buy them from tobacco shops or at bus stations) , which is great for wandering around in and again hardly touristy.

Hope this helps.

The islands of the Venice Lagoon

Lista di Spagna:
It is the street that goes from the train station to San Marco.After the third bridge you get lovely restaurants at reasonable prices.
Also in Le Zattere : it is the waterfont pavements facing the Canale della Giudecca.
Day trips:The road to Padova offers some incredible villas -some by Palladio.Padova is great.And the usual Murano ,Burano Lido etc.
Have fun.

i was in venice twise and its one of my favorite cities. i recoomend you to spend a lot time in the small streets, and eat in a little cafes and bar, becouse in all restaurants in the center prices are very high, but if you will sit in PIAZZA SAN MARCO and have a cup of coffe that would be your greatest day. oh iand dont forget to visit SAN GIORGIO MAGIORE.

I went to Venice at the end of my Honeymoon and had a fantastic time. Part of the pull of the city is that just around every corner is a different restaurant or square. The main touristy resturants are always the ones nearest the Rialto bridge - if you go a little further in there are some fantastic little places to eat. Have a great time, I'm sure you will.

The farther you get from St. Mark's Square, the less touristy and expensive the restaurants.

Lido's a good day trip if the weather is with you.

To find good places to eat like a true venician, just escape from the heart of Venice.

A particulary nice place to find enjoyables restaurants and to mingle with young venician students is campo Santa Margherita in the Dorsoduro.
