thanks JennyKenny for your input have been warned hotel receptions are usually on back handers from local restaurants so not always a good option,but will try tripadvisor
we had a nice pizza for lunch at a little open-air place down an alley on the southwest side of the Accademia bridge, right on the water's edge. Good view of the palazzi across the water and it wasn't particularly expensive. That was five years ago and things may have changed. I can see it on Google Canal View but can't see its name.
