    The guide says "Alla Palanca" my favourite lunchtime stop for the traditional Venetian food and the view from the tables on the Giudecca quay

    The picture however shows a cafe called "La Palanca" so I'm slightly confused as to which one is correct.

    Does anyone know if there's any difference between Alla and La (sorry don't know any Italian at all).

    I'm pretty sure on reflection it's "Alla Palanca" as that's what the guide says so I think best to go with that

    I guess that the restaurant is called La Palanca http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g187870-d1087324-Reviews-La_Palanca-Venice_Veneto.html , and Alla Palanca means "at" or "to" La Palanca

    I agree with Geeky, 'alla Palanca' means 'at' La Palanca'.

    I'd be willing to cough up for a 40 quid BA flight back to London if it meant winning this...this train journey costs over £2k!
