Venice – Gastronomy.
As expected, Venetian restaurants are dominated by fish and seafood. Typical antipasti (starters) there are prawns, cuttlefish and octopus, and also Murano crabs and sarde in saor (pickled sardines). Another common dish is eel cooked in Marsala wine, cod (salted cod) the black cuttlefish (small cuttlefish cooked in its own incaust), but the most typical dish is risotto made from rice grown in the Po Valley.
Venice is also known for cookies and candies. It's worth trying the thin ones, oval baicoli biscuits, cinnamon-spiced bussolai rings (Burano specialty) and a cross between nougat and toffee made of almonds, mandolate. The remnants of the Austrian occupation are krapfen cream or marmalade stuffed (Donuts) and the ubiquitous strudel.
Restaurants and pizzerias
Almost every restaurant in Venice advertises the turistico menu at a fixed price, which is perhaps a cheap way of tasting Venetian specialties, but quality, and most of all the quantity, differs from single dishes ordered from the menu. Generally, the farther from San Marco, the quality of the restaurant increases, and prices are falling. A large number of restaurants near San Marco offer meals, which don't seem expensive, but often the food is not very good there, small portions, and the service is rude.

Bars
Most often, people come to a Venetian bar for a refreshing sip of wine, which is drunk in one gulp from a tiny glass (the so-called. shadow). Wine enthusiasts should try several types of ombre at the enoteca bar (e.g.. To the face), where priority is given to the quality and choice of wine. You can also eat in most bars, from tramezzini to more exotic snacks, called cicheti.
To the face, Calle Horses (near Campo S.. Luca); Saint Mark. 1300 types of wines from Italy and other countries. Only some are cheap. Good snacks. 9.00-13.00 i 16.30-21.00. Closed. nd.

Cafes, pasticcerie and ice cream parlors
Just like in any other Italian city, cafes are the center of social life here and therefore there are plenty of them everywhere. Pasticceries often have great local sweets, and also coffee, but apart from a few bar stools there is usually nothing to sit on. In Venetian gelateria (ice cream parlors) you can lose a lot of money, because ice cream is sold here in forms rarely found elsewhere.
Good cafes and pasticceries can be found in and around Campo Santa Margherita, Crosera San Pants (runs to the south. from San Rocco) Oraz Campiello Meloni (between S.. Polo a S. Aponal; there are two, open on Sun., excellent pasticcerie).
Florian, St. Mark's Square. Open in the year 1720 by Floriana Francesconi. Nowadays it is decorated with frescoes and mirrors in the style of a cafe from that time. It has long been a place, where to show up, that's why regular coffee costs here 10 OOOL, and if a music band is playing, may not be enough and twice as much.
II Holosone, Salizzada San Lio; Castello. Pasticceria and bar with a great selection of pastries. Apple spremute is perfect. Closed. pn.
Marchini, San Maurizio bridge; Saint Mark. The most wonderful, but also the most expensive of the Venetian pasticcerie. W nd. in the morning a lot of people come here to buy sweets for dessert for the family.
Nico, Zattere ai Gesuati; Dorsoduro. An important point when wandering around this district. Known for its clogging specialty, called gianduiotto (drenched cream ice cream in a paper cup). Closed. thurs.
Pauline, Camp Morosini; Saint Mark. The place is widely regarded as the best ice cream shop in Venice. Especially the pistachio ice cream. The tables are set in one of the most beautiful places in the city. Closed. pt.
Takeaways, markets and shops
Because there are especially many squares in Venice, parks, especially above-water stairs, It is a pleasure to eat your own supplies in the open air, and if someone goes to one of the other islands, taking provisions is often the only way to obtain supplies for the road. Eating your own sandwiches is only forbidden in the Piazza itself, and this provision is strictly adhered to.
Takeaway pizza is available everywhere, but its quality leaves much to be desired. The best pizza and cakes in the widest selection are sold by Cip Ciap on Calle Mondo Nuovo (near S.. Maria formosa; Castello; close. thurs).
Street vegetable and fruit markets are held every day. except NA. in various squares of the city, e.g.. in Santa Maria Formosa, Santa Margherita, Campiello dell Anconetta, Rio Tera San Leonardo and on a barge moored at Campo San Barbara. The best of the fairs, however, is Rialto, where you can buy everything you need for a cold or warm meal (pn.-sb. 8.00-13.00, some stalls also in the late afternoon).
There is at least one alimentari in every Venetian parish (grocery store) and most of them are good. One of them can be distinguished, Aliani Gastronomy (Ruga Vecchia St. Giovanni; San Polo): there is such a wealth of cheeses here, meats and salads, the only problem is choice.
