Venice - Lunch under/beside the Rialto Bridge

Having lunch right beside the Grand Canal:

Lobster Linguine with nice view right beside the Rialto Bridge 

After our gondola ride, we found this restaurant right beside the Rialto Bridge.  We had a very nice view right beside the Grand Canal.  The water kept coming up the stairs, the table was two steps away from the water.

Restaurant right beside the Ponte di Rialto 

Tuna Carpaccio with mustard dressing

I heard Venice is well known for seafood, so I ordered Tuna Carpaccio for lunch.   The tuna was quite fresh, the texture was good.  The mustard dressing kind of blend in with the Tuna, but i think it took away the taste and freshness of the Tuna.


Lobster linguine

This dish of lobster linguine was quite good.  The price was a little overpriced (approximately 16-20 Euro/main course...to be honest, not so bad). :)  When we were in Venice, everything was quite expensive.  It is Venice, so I think it worth to pay a little extra for the view and the romantic ambience; just enjoy the moment.

Enjoying cappuccino and writing postcards :)
Cappuccino was about 4 Euro per cup; Expresso was about 2,90 Euro.  It was always good to enjoy a cup of cappuccino or expresso after a meal.  Again, having cappuccino after lunch? You must be a tourist.

Expresso in Venezia

Buying postcards was easy, but finding stamps to mail them out was quite hard.  It was hard to find the right store to get stamps.

A real post office box that doesn't look real

Finding post office boxes wasn't that hard; just that we first thought it was no longer in use.  
In the end, only two out of three postcards were received.
