Things to do in Venice Food and Wine
Unlike other Italian regional cuisines, such as the Roman or the Ligurian ones, authentic Venetian cuisine can only be tasted on site. Being less widespread and well-known worldwide doesn't mean it's any less good than other regional gastronomic traditions. Venetian cuisine is based on varied and gentle flavors, that have their roots in the history and geography of the area.
The products that we often find in traditional Venetian dishes are rice, polenta, beans and cod.The latter in particular - a fish uncommon on other Italian tables - will always be there in Veneto, both as an appetizer and as a first and second course. The typical pasta of the region is represented by bigoli, thick spaghetti made using a hand-operated press (which requires a lot of strength). Its surface is particularly rough and suitable to hold the sauces.

Reviews Venice Food and Wine
“This app would have been great if it had a Disability feature. Like telling you if there's stairs or where it's wheelchair friendly. Not a big fan!”
“The pandemic delayed our dinner cruise for 2 yrs. We had an evening cruising around the islands. The rain held, & the sights magical. Attentive wait staff explained all the new food items we tried. Octopus salad, smoked anchovies, salted fish, and wine. The food was fresh. Music romantic. Memorable!”
“Maria was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and attentive. She took us along to some fabulous places to eat and drink, as well as a hidden location for views of the canal. In truth, we wish we had skipped breakfast, as there was plenty of generous portion-sized samples on the tour!”
“Quelle magnifique soirée nous avons passé et que dire de l'arrêt final en face de Place St-Marc enveloppé de musique!!!!”
