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!

5.00Gianmarco was an excellent guide. He gave us some mini history and cultural context lessons which made us appreciate the food even more! We enjoyed polpette and the different types cicchetti so much! As always, you have to finish the tour with some excellent gelato.

5.00Gioele (Joe) was our guide and was amazing. He was fun and had a great knowledge of Venice and all of our stops. We were well received at every restaurant and Joe informed us about not only the food but the history of the neighborhoods we visited. Our group was small and perfect size. (We had 6 guests). The food and drinks were solid portions and you will not walk away hungry. Would recommend.
Great tour!

5.00Had a great food tour with Anna & a couple of Brits. We went to small places on back streets that we never would have found by ourselves. The food was excellent. Anna was really on top of it & a lot of fun. we liked Why Not enough to return for dinner 2 nights later—we dropped Anna’s name & got a table right off with very good service. To top it off I even receive a hug from Huggie Bear himself—ask her about it.
