In the evening, when St. Mark's Square is almost empty, you can suddenly hear the music of Vivaldi, Verdi and Puccini. It's largest orchestras of three Venice restaurants - Quadri, Lavena and Florian - begin a daily competition for the title of the best musicians of the city.

Guest24 May 2016I would' suggest it as an attraction... The musician are there thanks to the cafes and the cafes's guest that pay for the music!

I rember to those are reading that there are people who pay €8 for a coffee in these cafes!
