Finally, a find
Gelato Girl steered us right. Birraria la Corte in the Campo San Polo was just what we were looking for: a reasonably priced restaurant and pizzeria with good food, a pleasant outdoor eating space and not many Americans.
Excellent ravioli with pumpkin, veal loin in a Madeira sauce -- and good pizza. Even the salads were made with garden lettuces, something that's been hard to find. Tonight we go back for the bronzino.
We don't have the lighting for food photos, but here are a couple of shots from the place. ...

Also, I'm sorry for all my mean words about gondoliers. As we were walking home last night in the dark with an almost full moon, one solitary gondola floated quietly by with one couple. Their gondolier was singing softly, beautifully and unaccompanied.

if you are still on the zattere or accademia side, check out ristorante Riveria for risotto nero and
Nico for more gelato!
