  • Time for an introduction to cicchetti, Venice’s famous tapas-like bites, at a family-run bar. Enjoy two local favorites paired with a drink.
  • Next, at another family-run bar, you'll try two of their specialty cicchetti featuring cod with a glass of prosecco.
  • Casa Del Parmigiano
    This family-run delicatessen shop is a favorite of many locals. You'll try a selection of regional cheeses.
  • Step into the heart of Venice’s food scene: the Rialto Fish Market. As you peruse the overflowing aisles, your guide will explain how ancient trade routes and a strong maritime history have shaped the diets of Venetians, and how they still get the freshest fish from the Mediterranean.
  • From there, you'll step into a bright, friendly little shop for a street-food style take on Venetian seafood made with products fresh from the nearby market.
  • Mercati di Rialto
    Extend your knowledge to include the seasonality of vegetables and locally produced specialties. Stop at a fresh fruit stand and taste incredible seasonal delights.
  • Head to the locals’ bacaro (wine bar) of choice for an aperitif in the Rialto area. They’re known for their high-quality light bites and spritzes, which you’ll try for yourself.
  • After a short ride in a gondola to cross the Grand Canal, it’s time for lunch! Tucked down a tiny side street, this cozy modern bacaro is one of Venice's best-kept secrets. Dig into freshly prepared risotto and sip a glass of wine. Cap off your tour on a delicious note with a sweet Italian dessert.
