Address: Castello 4738/4739, Venezia. Phone: 0415287143.
Located about a 5-minute walk from the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop on the way to Santa Maria Formosa Palazzo, at the end of Ruga Giuffa.
This restaurant was recommended by Lorenzo, the owner of the Ai Tagliapietra B&B that we are currently staying at. We figured that we ought to give this restaurant a try considering that it's only an eight second walk from our front door.
In my broken Italian I ordered the Prosciutto pizza for 8 Euros (778 円, $9.91), a 30 cm. pizza with paper-thin slices of ham. This was the third pizza I had eaten in less than 48 hours, and after the first bite it became the best pizza I had in Venice! The sauce, the cheese, the crust, ... the ham!!! Each bite just seemed to be more heavenly than the last!

My wife ordered a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, olives, corn, and tuna. It came with no dressing but she still enjoyed it very much.

She also ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese, which she raved about! I sampled and agreed that it was delicious; light and non-greasy, giving the effect of frehness.

My wife also endulged in the local Venetian appertif, a Spritz, which is concocted with a bit of Prosecco sparkling wine, mineral water, and a bitter liqueur called Aperol. She loved this, as well.

I went with a deep, rich Ialian coffee, one of the many flavors I've come to love here in Venice.

Food, drinks, and cover charge came to a grand total of 42 € (4086 円, $52), which is a little bit higher than what we've paid for other meals here in Italy, but still not too bad for real Italian grub.
I know this is far from Sendai, but if you're ever out this way take a break from San Marco's Square and enjoy the Al Vecio Canton!
