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 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.

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.

Usually local people go to Lio PIccolo to have a nice walk surrounded by Nature. It is common to encounter birds like herons and flamingos. Whatching them in their natural environment is spectacular. This is also where in the past salt was extract from sea.

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.

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.

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 is a very nice restaurant where you can eat outside. It is also the right place for a romantic dinner. Great for vegetarians but here you can find also a fair number of meat options. Their pumpkin flan is famous between locals. Lovely to eat outside next to the canal.

This place is located in the middle of the tourist venue, close to Rialto bridge, but it's sort of hidden which is great because there aren't many tourists inside. Visited by locals to have cicchetti and wine but also for lunch or dinner.
