Venice Offbeat Food & Drinks Tour with Eating Europe
Overview
Available languages
Get ready to eat your way through Venice with a delicious food tour in Cannaregio and the historic Jewish Ghetto! This progressive lunch or dinner takes you off the tourist track and into the heart of real Venetian life, where locals sip, snack, and savor every bite.
Kick things off with a classic Venetian tramezzino at a historic bakery, then dive into cicchetti culture with a glass of Prosecco col fondo and a tasty bite at a cozy bacaro. Next, enjoy a traditional Venetian main dish at a family-run trattoria, paired with a crisp white wine from Veneto.
No Venetian food tour is complete without a spritz! Learn how to make this iconic drink before pairing it with two must-try cicchetti—baccalà mantecato and saor. Finally, end on a sweet note with your choice of creamy tiramisù, a festive frittella, or artisanal gelato.
Wander through charming alleys, taste your way through centuries of tradition, and experience Venice like a true foodie!

5.00An unforgettable experience! Cecelia is an exceptional guide—her knowledge and passion truly made our day special. The bacaro and cicchetti were out of this world, and the seafood lasagna was a delightful surprise we never would have tried on our own. Cecelia’s insights and recommendations turned the experience into something extraordinary. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate—10/10 would absolutely do it again with Cecelia leading the way!
What a memorable and delicious experience!
