[QUOTE=askias;29682427]Thanks obscure2k. I didn't know about the law banning wood ovens, although I guess it makes sense with the fire risk. We're only there two days, most of the vacation is in Rome, so we'll just have low expectations for food while we are there.[/QUOTE
The pizza in Rome is great. There is a lot of fine food in Venice, so no need to lower your expectations (well, except for pizza). When my children were younger (& even as they got older) they enjoyed Vino Da Gigio very much. It was family friendly and the food is quite good with a nice variety. Reservations are necessary. Dress is very casual as is the restaurant.
See some of the many posts in the Dining in Venice, thread, particularly the ones by Oliver.
