Venice for Food Lovers If you love food and want to explore a taste of real Italian cuisine, this is a great city to do just that.
There is something very special about the food of the Water City, which is based largely on freshly caught fish, fresh vegetables and fine meats (served both fresh and cured).
Fish is normally served with a local white polenta, which is unique to this region.
Many dishes have their origins in ancient recipes, and include calf's liver, ravioli with scampi and sardines in soar - which are pickled sardines complemented with light herbs and lemon.
The best way to enjoy the food of the city is to head to the local market to try out some of the "cicchetti" bars.
These bars serve mini snacks designed to be the perfect accompaniment to the local wines.
You can choose any number of these tiny snacks and enjoy them perched at the bar or sat on long benches out in the street.
Typical cicchetti snacks include risotto alle seppie, the famous squid ink risotto, and the baccala mantecato - pureed stock fish, served on a crostini or grilled polenta.
A firm favourite among locals is the fegato alla venezia, beautifully prepared calf's liver marinated in vinegar and flash-fried briefly on both sides before being tossed with browned onions.
Everyone has their preferred place for enjoying their favourite cicchetti, but there are so many you will be spoilt for choice.
If you love fresh fish naturally this is a great city for you, as fish is a mainstay on every menu.
From shrimp to grouper to fritto misto (a mixed plate of lightly battered fish), every dish is prepared simply but deliciously in the typical Venetian way.
Complement your fish with the local asparagus, or perhaps try the castraure, the mini artichokes so synonymous with Venetian cuisine.
For those with a sweet tooth, the crème caramel is delicious, but as with any Italian city, a delectable gelateria is never far away here! Fine wines are par for the course in this city and even the house wines are reliably good.
Talk to your waiter about your preferences and you will be recommended one to suit your tastes to go along with your choice of meal.
Make the most of your Venetian break and arrive fresh and ready to go by booking a transfer from Venice airport to Venice so you can begin your culinary exploration as soon as possible!
