Cà D'Oro alla Vedova

Each year, million of tourists visit Venice and the vast majority of them will pay too much to eat mediocre food in tourist-traps. Luckily Venice also has a lot of (hidden) great restaurants and most importantly 'Bacari', which is their version of a Spanish Tapas bar. Bacari usually serve a variety of small colourful, budget-friendly dishes which change continuously based on the season (some actually change hour by hour). These small dishes are called 'cicchetti' and are meant to be the perfect companion to a glass of wine or a Spritz. Think of these Bacari as your local neighbourhood bar, and be ready to bend elbow to elbow with the locals. Here are my favorite places to eat, drink, snack and stay in Venice!

La Serenissima- One of the most important ports of the Mediterranean and home to some incredible art,food and wine. It's an open air museum. The Rialto Market is right on the Grand Canal. It can be really crowded on these tiny streets, watch your wallets.

If you're visiting Venice, Italy save this culinary guide on what and where you should be eating. Venetian cuisine is quite unique, and the city itself doesn't always get the best rep, but that's because it's easy to fall for the tourist traps if you don't know where to go and what to order. Enjoy this guide to learn what are the typical dishes to try, and 17 restaurants/bakeries/bars to try them at. I've also included my full guide on "cicchetti" (Venetian tapas), and 24 restaurant/bars where to eat them.
