Ristorante Terrazza Sommariva - Tourist Trap; Terrific Location

Ristorante Terrazza Sommariva in Venice, Italy has a great location on the Grand Canal, a few feet from the Rialto Bridge. While the food was passable - toward the low end of Italian food, the location was terrific. The food was also on the expensive side. We sat at an outdoor table under awning.

Three of us had Piazza Diavola, with tomato, mozzarella, and spicy salami for 10 each. (The following day, we had a better version of the same pizza at another location for €7.50 each.)

I had Pizza Sottobosco with tomato, mozzarella, brie, and mushrooms for €10.50.

We had small bottles of mineral water for €4.50 each. This was the most we paid anywhere in Italy in over 2 weeks of travel.

I had two glasses of Masi Frescaripa Bardolino Classico for €6 per glass. This decent wine is prouced near the town of Bardolino on the eastern side of Lake Garda, a short distance west of Venice.

The bottom line is that I would probably try one of the other waterfront restaurants in the same area.
