I will I’ll be in Venice for a 3 day conference in October. The conference hotel is at Hotel Monaco and Grand Canal. Most of the events are planned but there is one night open where I can take out some customers.

Can an anyone share a couple of restaurant recommendations within say a 10 minute walk? Nothing too fancy but just good local food that’s not a tourist trap. Price isn’t an issue as my company will pay. I basically just don’t want to overpay for something that isn’t up to par.

Also any good gelato places in that area that are authentic? How about macaroons?
A Covo is a short and pleasant walk, excellent food. The restaurant is not open on Sunday. No authentic gelato in Venice. .
Osteria Santa Marina is another restaurant I would recommend. It is in Castello, a few minutes walk and definitely not a tourist trap. Food is excellent. On a lovely square.. Macarons are not a typical pastry in Venice.
