New restaurants in Venice?

[Hallie]

I'll be in Venice next week and am wondering if the culinary scene has improved since I was there last, 5 years ago.

Have any new or excptionally worth while places opened in that time? We had a very hard time finding good places to eat last time and I'm well aware of Venice's reputation for uninspiring food. Any suggestions are welcome.

to start where did you eat that you didn't like?

I can give you a short list of my favorites

I will be in venice in a few weeks, and looking for family friends not too expensive, local cuisine. Travelling with my kids. Staying not too far from Rialto bridge.
