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 is a very popular among locas for the happy hour, which means a drink, like a spritz, a beer, for €5 that will come with a small plate of cicchetti buffet, including pasta, risotto and bruschetta! The service is great, with chatty, down to earth bar staff.

This is one of the most suggestive walk you can have in Venice. In front of you the Giudecca Canal, where cruise ships often navigate. Near here there is the Basilica of “Madonna della Salute”, one of the most important church in Venice, and where you can find some Tiziano’s pictures.

This is an historical local cafè in Campo Santa Margherita and as a matter of fact it was born at the end of the 1800. It has a peculiar history shared with the "Ostaria al Capon" in front of it. In the 19th century in these two locals there were two different political point of views and they were a theatre of debates and battles of words.

This is a wonderful island in the Venetian Lagoon, where locals are mostly fishermen. Here you can eat and walk and breath as a Venetian does. All its colorful buildings show all the beauty inside this island. Here cars can move, but people used to walk or move by bike.

Locals go there to have cicchetti and spritz during the evening before dinner, so the place is always busy. But there is a reason why, they serve excellent food. You will find a lot of people right in front of restaurant sipping wine while waiting a table.

This osteria has a good selection of dishes, also for vegetarians, but great here is the fried fish.
The food is freshly cooked and vary tasty. The place is quite small and it gets crowded during lunch and dinner. Waiters might be not the most smiling, but who cares, food is excellent.

It's not easy to find tex-mex food in the city and because Itaians usually do not like spicy taste the food is a bit between italian and mex. But if you really like spicy flavour you can ask to add more spicy sauce and you'll be satisfied.

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.

The staff there were excellent and the spaghetti we had was better than some of the restaurants it was surrounded by. If you don't mind standing to eat and eating out of a box give this little gem of a place a go. You won't be disappointed and you certainly won't be out of pocket. A really filling and tasty meal whilst on the move.
