[Idyllchat] Ticino- Venice

[Susan G.Coombe]

I have to agree with Lynanne on both of these restaurants!  Dona Onesta 
was terrific when we were in Venice in 2003, and the sardines are 
great.  They did speak some English and helped us with a phone call 
about lost luggage.  We also ate at the restaurant in Campo San Toma 
and went back a second time just for their sgroppino - the best!
