Algiubagiò

Algiubagiò Review

A waterfront table is still relatively affordable at lunchtime here on Venice's northern Fondamente Nove, where you can gaze out toward San Michele (the cemetery island, but still...) and Murano—on a clear day you can even see the Dolomites. Algiubagiò has a dual personality: pizzas and big salads at lunch; at dinner, creative primi like ravioli stuffed with pecorino di fossa (a hard sheep's-milk cheese) are followed by elegant secondi such as Angus fillets with vodka and Gorgonzola. The young, friendly staff also serves ice cream, drinks, and sandwiches all day. A lunch table here is worth the walk for the view; the price rises considerably at dinner. Many dine here on their way to Murano and Burano but many would say you should wait and enjoy the better places on the Lagoon islands.
