As we depart Venice at Marco Polo airport should we eat a late breakfast/early lunch prior to our 1:05 flight (13:00) or will there be a place to pick up a quick snack around Marco Polo? The airline will feed us lunch, but as we all know it wont be very edible.

There is a snackbar downstairs when you go through security and a restraunt/light meal place upstairs. not a whole lot of options, but enough for such a small airport.

Actually, Kelly, the plane food put on in Italian (or French) airports isn't so bad. And, on international flights, they tend to feed you often.

They have a food court area way down to the right as you walk in the main doors but before you go to the ticketing gate. Plenty of choices, if a little confusing to navigate.

How late are the food/snack courts open at the airport? I am probably going to get to the airport around midnight and stay the night at the airport since my flight leaves at 6:05 am.

I believe there is a place that sells pizza, etc..outside of the main security. Inside security, I bought a toasted panini and something to drink near the gate. There was also a coffee bar- I had some kind of coffee mixed alcohol drink called the Venetian I think near the shops area when you go past security.
Not sure how late the food places are open but I would guess they close up maybe 10pm. I believe they open up again around 5:30am. On my last visit in February 2009, my Italian fiancee at the time decided I should be at the airport 3 hours before the flight (6:50AM)! hahaha I think we got there around 4am and the doors to the front of the airport were closed. We went down to where the arrivals exit and went up a level to get inside. I checked in electronically and we waited for the airport to open. ahhh, la dolce vita! (I had a croissant and coffee when they opened up the pastry shop).
