Step into the daily rhythm of Venetian life with a guided culinary tour through the historic Rialto Market and into the cozy world of Cicchetti bars. Begin in the early hours at the atmospheric fish market, where sunlight dances through canal-side archways and vendors offer the freshest seafood in town. Learn about the importance of the lagoon’s marine bounty as your guide points out local specialties like prawns, squid, mussels, and crabs. Then dive into Venice’s beloved Cicchetti tradition—small, flavorful bites paired with local wines, especially Prosecco. Visit two traditional bàcari bars, each offering its own take on this treasured food culture. Sample a variety of savory treats, from seafood-topped bread to classic meat and veggie pairings, while standing among locals enjoying their midday snack. Finally, take a short ride aboard a gondolino, a small gondola, to your final stop: an authentic Venetian restaurant. Sit down to a full lunch of regional specialties, such as fish risotto, polenta with squid ink, and creamed codfish, for the perfect ending to your culinary journey.
