Venice is without a doubt one of the most magical places I've ever been!   Around every corner is a postcard worthy picture! From the canals, to the gondolas to the grand palaces, Venice is city like no other!   Is Venice on your bucket list?  

Italy is abundant in diverse, eclectic dishes. No matter where you choose to go throughout the country, you'll get an entirely new dining experience. For instance, when you head towards the lagoon, you'll get to enjoy Venetian cuisine, and if you head towards the shores of the Adriatic Sea, you’ll get to experience traditional seafood dishes. ​

Dishes That Are Unique to Venice

Of course, upon visiting Venice, you must try some of their most authentic, delicious dishes. So, in case you’re not sure where to begin, here is a list of the most popular delights…

Spaghetti in Nero di Seppia
This charcoal-colored pasta looking dish is pieces of squid slow-cooked in tomato sauce. The charcoal color comes from the ink of the squid, which as added after the preparation is complete. 

Sarde in Saor
Over a reduced flame, onions are cooked until they become clear and fragrant. Pine nuts, raisins, and lastly, sardines are then mixed in with the onions to create this delightfully tasty dish.  

Fritto Misto
This divine dish is simply shrimp, fishballs, and calamari all breaded and deep-fried to perfection. Although many restaurants serve this dish, they all add their own flavors, bread topping, and touches, so don't hesitate to try them all!

Onions, anchovies, and fennel seeds are added to the sauce of this magnificent Venetian whole wheat pasta dish. This is one of Venice’s signature cuisines and a must-try!

Frittelle
