Venice Tourism & Travel Guide - Eating Out in Venice

Venice Tour & Travel Guide - Eating Out in Venice

Venice has some wonderful restaurants, even though it is not generally regarded to be of the quality of rest of Italy. Specialties include polenta, made of corn meal; risotto with cuttlefish ink sauce. Venetian snacks (cichetti) can be brilliantly inventive, in small "tapas-style" serving sizes. For prices that are easy on the pocket, look for places (especially wine bars) popular with non-tourists. Try to spot the local eateries which offer a dining experience by the canal.
