Fantastic Food Guide to Venice, and an iphone app

Venice Osterie - Apparently, as we discovered on this trip, the place to get a great local dining guide is in a museum.  (The first great restaurant guide I found was at the Villa Borghese in Rome).  We went to the Palazzo Ducale, and found this guide in the gift shop.  It looked good and so Skye and I both bought one.  As it turns out it is the best guide out there for Venice.  Our waiter at Osteria L’Orto dei Mori actually saw me looking at the book and said, “that is a great guidebook”.  Not only does Michela Scibilia (the author) give you the best tips on bars and restaurants, but she also provides a food dictionary in the back to help you figure out what everything on the menu is.    This book is also available as an iphone application called “Tap Venice”.  She also has a book on Murano (we didn’t get there in our two days) as well as a shopping guide to Venice.  If you are going to Venice, BUY HER BOOKS (or her iphone application).  I wish she wrote for every city in the world.  


 “TapVenice is the iphone edition of Venice Osterie by Michela Scibilia. For the past 15 years, Michela’s handbook, now in its fifth edition, has been Venetians’ favourite guide to eating out in their own city”.   
The guide contains only restaurants personally selected by Michela, who has lived in Venice for more than 20 years. What you won’t find in TapVenice is paid advertisements or sponsored recommendations. TapVenice does not require an internet connection. Maps can be consulted offline.”
