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.

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.

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 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 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.

Being a vegetarian in Venice may be quite difficult, but near the Frari Church you can find a little restaurant with Mediterranean cuisine. To appreciate it at best, it is important to understand that this is not a classy restaurant, but a simple place where you can enjoy delicious dishes in a quiet atmosphere.

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.

Ths good restaurant is located in the Jewish area of the city. The food here is very good, with plenty on offer for vegetarians and it's worth it even if you are not a Kosher eater. The atmosphere is freindly.

Great for aperitivo. Their wine list is amazing and it changes a lot. The owners are a group of wine conesseurs, they are always on the look out for great wines to pair with the amazing food. Cozy in the winter with its upstairs room, the outside terrace in spring and summer is the perfect place for an al fresco dinner.
