I figli delle stelle
On the quieter island of Giudecca, which affords you tremendous views of the rest of Venice in the evening. I sat outside one birthday a couple years ago, alone, and ate incredible langoustine with a great wine. Ended up chatting to a Spanish girl and her Mexican aunt who bought me birthday tiramisu and sang me happy birthday in Spanish. It's basically a chilled evening spot with good views and great food.
Ai Sportivi
Cuttlefish spaghetti (cooked in its own ink) is a Venetian speciality and I rated the one I had here. It's in a quiet square away from the tourist traps, and I'd recommend an amble over this side of town purely to visit...
Tonolo
Found this place completely randomly. Had the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life, over the counter for a euro or two. Since found out it's a bit of a local legend. It's the sort of place where, if I had a couple hundred quid to drop on flights, I'd fly over to get a tiramisu and fly straight back. So damn good.
Majority of food is pretty decent, as long as you avoid the tourist traps. Ate loads of other places but those above stick out in my memory.
