However, it's not impossible to find good quality food and you don't have to travel too far from the famous Piazza San Marco to do so. There are a number of very good restaurants in the Castello area with great food and atmosphere. If budget is not an issue, there are also a number of excellent restaurants, many with terraces on the canals or in private gardens. The Venice restaurants have been priced into three categories and have also been rated out of 5: Expensive (over €100) Moderate (€50 to €100) Cheap (up to €50) These Venetian restaurant prices include a three course meal for one, at least one glass of wine and taxes and service charges. It is customary in Italy to add an extra 10% tip to your bill if you've received a good service.
