Uno dei rari locali dove si viene per mangiare bene e non solo perchè si è a Venezia.Certo, ci sono all'esterno i tavoli affacciati al Canal Grande ed i palazzi più belli della città; certo, l'interno dell'osteria con le sue arcate del XVI° secolo è magnifico.E' qui che si pesavano le verdure del mercato di Rialto."Al Pesador", ovvero il luogo dove si trovava la pesa.Il "di più" dell'Osteria Al Pesador è l'amore per la buona cucina; l'amore che proviamo nel condurre l'ospite alla scoperta di una parte di quella cultura che, generalmente, è preclusa al turista distratto.
