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!”
“A fantastic experience on our 25 wedding anniversary, fantastic food great atmosphere and a great cruise around the bay, I would definitely recommend this.”
“Two points to make it excellent!Regular announcements to let passengers know where they are going, and maybe cut back on number of courses on the food. But the crew were excellent and very friendly and curtieus.”
“Soirée formidable !!! l'ambiance, le repas, le service… tout parfait. Felicitation pour votre organisation et la gestion de ce moment magique et intime. Bravo.”
