The traditional foods of the Venice are linked to relationship the Serenissima had with the inland but more important with the faraway lands, reached thanks to long journeys by boat.
So you can find on the table baccalà (salted stockfish) from the Baltic routs, precious spices from Asia but also fresh vegetables from islands of the estuary like S.Erasmo, Vignole and obviously fish from the lagoon.
Venetians like to eat cichetti (appetizers) with a small glass of wine (ombra) either before lunch or dinner or often in place of those meals. Eating cichetti is mostly a social activity, you will see lots of locals hanging out in crowded bars and have their startes.

This silent and little tearoom is situated in one of the most local neighborhood, "Dorsoduro", far from the classical tourist part of the city. The venetian owner, Elena, will be welcome you with more of 50 kinds of teas to taste and savour. If you arrive during the hot venetian summer, the teas could be cold with ice, with the same good taste.

It is an authentic tiny shop in Venice, away from the crowd and the main touristic areas. You can enjoy your crepe with the best view ever on one of the bridges close by. Definitely not a casual creperie, because of its unique design.
