In the middle of a residential zone between Guglie bridge and Tre Archi bridge, Al Parlamento is the perfect bar to stop for a coffee with a brioche in the morning, for lunch, for a spritz in the evening or for some drinks in the night. Basically at any time of the day.
Recently renovated, with a perfect union of black and wood, the interior gives you a nice welcoming and peaceful atmosphere. You can sit inside or on the numerous tables outside near the canal that leads directly to the lagoon.
I discovered this place because it was just on the way to my high school, and university, thus it's always full with young boys and girls, and in my opinion, it's one of the best bars to get the spritz or a glass of good wine from the Veneto like Bardolino, Valpollicella, Recioto or Prosecco of Treviso that you can drink together with a wide variety of tramezzini (little sandwiches) or cichetti like little meatballs, mozzarelle in carrozza (fried mozzarella cheese), piadine, panini, toast for all the tastes (for me the best one is the vegetarian one!) but also with pizzas and a real Italian lunch meal.
Moreover in the night you can choose among a wide selection of cocktails to spend a nice evening with your friends while enjoying the football match on the HD TV or live jazz or blues music in the summer.

The "Mercatino San Maurizio", the antique market of Campo San Maurizio, is one of Venice's most precious market events. You can find just everything here.

"Murano Island" in Venice is famous across the world for its glass factories but there's more to it than that: I love experiencing the slower rhythms here.

"Gelateria Nico" has the best ice cream in Venice, and getting good ice cream here is not as easy as you might think! You can't miss the gianduiotto...

"Magna Bevi Tasi" is a typical Venice 'baccaro' where you can have an aperitif or drink. I like to sit outside on a nice sunny day, enjoying my spritz...
