Best Restaurants in San Polo (2026): The Ones Locals Keep Quiet About
San Polo is good for paintings by Tintoretto and Titian, and quiet restaurants behind the Frari, and the restaurants people save most are Gondola Traghetto di San Tomà, Trattoria Antiche Carampane and Acqua e Mais. Ranked from 9 places we track here, creator picks first.
Updated · 9 places we track in San Polo, all first recorded in March 2026
Scuola Grande di San Rocco is wall-to-wall Tintoretto, and the Basilica dei Frari next door has Titian over the altar. Eat at Osteria Da Fiore or Trattoria Antiche Carampane for seafood, or at Birraria La Corte for pizza in a courtyard. Bar Dogale and Pasticceria Rizzardini handle the mornings. The crowds you have just left at Rialto do not follow you this far. Book the dinners.
