Menus are often recited out loud; an annoying habit, but
unavoidable in some more rustic eateries. If this happens, and
you are unsure of the price of something you have ordered, always
ask. Always ask for a written conto (bill) at the end
of the meal, as it is illegal to leave the restaurant without
one.
And finally, bear in mind that Venetians often lunch at noon,
dine at seven, and hit the sacks by ten. The more upmarket restaurants
follow standard Italian practice, rarely serving dinner before
7.30pm and keeping the kitchen open until 10pm; but bacari and
neighbourhood Venice trattorie tend to open
and close earlier.
In other words, if you want to eat cheaply in Venice... eat
early. |
