Venezia doesn't have this pane and coperto ban, as long as it's stated in the menu it's legal.
In Rome, and the whole Lazio region, it's forbidden to have this item in the menu and of course in the bill.
Then there are associations of restaurants also in other regions who decided to remove "pane and coperto" , some applies others don't, as it's not a law.

The "pane e coperto" fee in Rome restaurants is not only targeting tourists, locals often get it too as well, but nevertheless it's not correct.
