Tony's mission is to avoid Venice's tourist traps and to discover the city as it's experienced by locals. Venice is a city filled with ancient monuments, sprawling palazzos, quaint cafes and vibrant markets.
Go to EpisodeDa Romano
Tony visits Da Romano Trattoria on the island of Burano (of lace-making fame). The restaurant has been open for over 100 years and is tied to tradition. Tony tries Goh risotto, the restaurant's obsession.
