Bar Caffè Ciangol di Squarcina G & C In Venezia

12/05/2026: Cafe Rialto is a small tourist trap restaurant that is just steps from the Rialto Bridge. They do all of the typical things that bother North American tourists, like: - different prices for takeout versus dine-in - a bathroom that is only available to customers - short and attentive staff who will charge inconsistently As much as I normally don't like to knock on businesses, I would recommend steering clear of this place and trying to find a more authentic café while you are in Venice

12/05/2026: The owner is Chinese and the part-timers are also Chinese, but contrary to the reviews, they were all very friendly. I still had time before the gondola ride, but it was so hot I was exhausted. It was past 4 p.m., so I searched around for a nearby restaurant or bar and found that they wouldn't even serve coffee. I wanted something cold, so I ordered a shakerato, and it was delicious. Other places say it's lukewarm without ice, but this place had plenty of ice. I was worried it might be lukewarm, so I asked for ice in a glass, and they happily gave it to me. I was a little hesitant to order just one shakerato, so I ordered some arancini, which was also fine. The shakerato was so delicious that I had another glass and was considering a third before leaving this review. I highly recommend the shakerato on a hot day!!!
