Non-Italian food in Venice

I enjoyed Ital India in Cannaregio. It's right on a canal and you can eat outside if the weather is nice. Great food, pretty good prices.

Just want to avoid the pasta/pizza? Most restaurants will have plain meat, poultry or fish dishes in the secondo section of the menus and plain vegetables in the contorno section.

Or are you looking for American(ized) food? https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g187870-c2-Venice_Veneto.html

Or for something ethnic, you could try the Orient Experience

I remember walking past a Burger King. is that "Non-Italian" enough?

Not to mention the Golden Arches on the Strada Nova.

And there is a Hard Rock Cafe in Venice as well just off San Marco Piazza. I didn't go so I can't vouch for the food but their menu is the same as the others I believe.

Venice is amazing, enjoy,

I went to TripAdvisor and searched for restaurants in Venice. Then using the filter options I selected all possible cuisines except for Italian (including the various Italian regional cuisines). Over 70:restaurants came up. The majority were Chinese and other Asian (Japanese, Indian, Bangladesh), lots of Middle Eastern (Lebanese, Turkish, Afghan) and Moroccan, since those are the main ethnic groups of the immigrant population in Italy. However there were also two Hawaiian (poke is very popular in Italy), one Mexican, and a couple of South American ones, in addition to a few American places (Hard Rock cafe was one), German, French, Irish pubs.

How about kosher restaurants in the ghetto?

My wife and I really enjoyed Frary’s, so much so that we went there twice during two different trips. https://www.frarysvenezia.it/

Well, ducking my head but admitting I ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Venice, hahaha. I was in the mood for a veggie burger and this hit the spot. I was seated where I could overlook the gondolas leaving the dock across the street from the restaurant and enjoyed my meal. It was the standard Hard Rock Cafe menu but, of course not off the beaten path.

I eat a lot of seafood when I'm in Venice, some dishes with more of an Italian influence than others.

Do be aware that ethnic restaurants don't necessarily include the usual sides that you may expect. For example, if you want rice with your main dish at a Chinese restaurant, you usually need to order it.

Hard Rock Cafe, no thanks. The Indian, middle eastern and kosher places look promising.

Vini di Arturo is one of favorites in Venice when we are done with pasta and fish. It's a traditional style Venetian restaurant, but the focus is meat not fish. I cannot put into words how good the Vinegar Fried Pork Chop is. Seriously, I dream about it sometimes. It's a busy joint with lots and lots of regulars, so a reservation is a must, not hard to get a week or so out, but you will need one. It's also tiny, so tiny that in our booth, we were essentially "Locked In"--the table across from ours had an extension pulled out, so literally we couldn't stand up without help and people moving, but they do this so often and are so attentive, it wasn't problematic, it was like being tucked into bed. This is also a celebrity joint, very famous with the very famous folks, so pics on the wall are a fun treat. But go for the food, it's absolutely stellar. The ambiance and service is just the bonus. It's not the most expensive joint in town, but it's also not cheap. Dinner for 4 with house wine was about $160 Euro, but we pulled no punches, and ordered a lot.
