Obviously, we want to avoid the touristy areas and will probably do some local places for cicheto and ombra...any ideas for some reserved dinners? We're staying at the Gritti Palace, so somewhat accessible from there would be ideal.
I have found that restaurants in Venice tend to be quite family-friendly. The restaurants most frequently mentioned in this Dining In Venice thread will welcome your little one. I would only caution you about pushing the stroller up and down the steps of the bridges, so it is a good idea to stay on your side of the Rialto Bridge. Da Carletto will be welcoming and food is excellent. It will be about a 15 minute walk from the Gritti and will not involve many bridges to cross. Al Covo is another restaurant where I am certain you will be treated well.
