We have dinner reservations at Al Covo that evening, but would love some lunch ideas. And then on Easter Monday, I'm hoping Osteria Santa Marina will be open but would appreciate any other suggestions. It seems Oliver was disappointed by ai Assasini, and it seems he did a lot of research, so looking for alternatives. Thanks in advance!
That is going to be a bit tricky. Seafood is such an integral part of the cuisine and the Rialto Market is closed on Monday and I am certain it will be closed on Easter Sunday. My favorite lunch spot is Antiche Carampane. They have a good website and you have the option of reading it in English. As well, you can book reservations online (which I did successfully in November)

Hotels with restaurants will be open and, of course, Harry's Bar is always a fallback option as they are open every day.
