Most likely not the answer you're looking for but wander, get lost, and eat. One of my all time favorite cicchetti spots is Enoteca Schiavi-- one of the few spots left that will have as many local Venetians as tourists. Nearby is the equally spectacular Gelateria il Doge-- off that charts good. They do have a very nice epicurean school at the Gritti Palace Hotel. Did not take a class but did pop my head in when we were there last and they have cooking classes you can book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted June 16 #4 Share Posted June 16 Have done many of our "personal" food tours. Just walking down a street, see an interesting display, stop for a bite :). Over our many visits, our best luck has been with completely unknown places that just looked "right." That being said, Venice is a tourist city (unless you go into the University area, and we prefer eating out at Burano. Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could still be a helpful fall back should you get few replies from CC members who actually took time out from exploring Venice and surrounding islands.

Oceangrace Posted June 21 #8 Share Posted June 21 We love taking an organized food tour the first night that we visit a new city. These tours are usually very fun and informative. We like the idea that not only will our guide take us to some great places to eat, they will also give us great advice regarding the city and where to go during the rest of our stay. When we visited Venice for the first time in April, 2022, we booked a food tour through WithLocals with Adair. It was amazing. I am still friends with her on FB. Turns out her husband owned a Bacaro (Small cicchetti bar), which was the first stop on our tour. It was in the same square we were staying. We ended up visiting the Bacaro 11 times during our 4 nights in Venice. Adair sent us links to all the locations and other recommended places through whatsapp after our tour. We did similar tours in Rome and Florence and I highly recommend doing one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
