Alongside, enjoy a glass of ‘ombra’, a classic small glass of Venetian wine, as your guide shares fascinating insights into Italian traditions and culture.
Next, we’ll make our way through the bustling Strada Nuova, a vibrant street filled with shops, bars, and historic buildings—a must-see on any Venice food tour.
At our fourth stop, fully immerse yourself in the warmth of Venetian hospitality. Enjoy a delicious sit-down meal featuring some of Venice’s finest traditional dishes—choose between pasta with squid ink, battered codfish and polenta, or parmigiana alla melanzana. Let the rich flavors unfold with each bite. This stop is your chance to truly experience Venice’s culinary soul in the most authentic way possible.
No Italian food tour is truly complete without artisanal gelato! At our fourth stop, your guide will take you to a top gelato shop, where you'll discover the secrets behind authentic gelato. Learn about seasonal flavors, what sets gelato apart from regular ice cream, and put your taste buds to the test sampling 2 delicious scoops.
As the tour wraps up near the charming Rialto Bridge, your guide will be happy to share insider tips on other must-visit spots or advice on where to grab a water taxi back to your hotel.

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Daria. She is a local Venetian. She is knowledgeable and engaging. We enjoyed the food we got to try, and the people on our tour were very friendly. We had a small group so made things more intimate.
