Busa alla Torre (Campo San Stefano, 3, Murano) comes highly recommended, and judging by the rapid influx of locals and tourists alike, this recommendation is no secret. In a lovely courtyard next to a rough stone wall and under a stylized Middle Eastern campanile, with warm sun beaming from a bright blue sky, we enjoy a lovely meal of fried seppiolini, black spaghetti draped with squid, and a second round of those crisp, crabby little explosions known as moleche. It’s a fun restaurant, with solid, relaxed service, and a relative bargain for Venice. (10/07)
