Tour Itinerary

Our Venice food tour begins at a local favorite in the San Polo neighborhood: a bustling family-run bacaro (Venetian-style wine bar) for an introduction to cicchetti. While often likened to “Venetian tapas,” these small bites are so much more than that—they’re the best representation of local food culture. Try two of our favorites paired with a special drink.

Alessia was wonderful! Our entire family enjoyed the food tour so much. It was the favorite thing we did in Venice. I even went back to buy cheese to bring home later. Thank you!

Our guide, Jennifer, was very easy to find, as expected, in front of the church. We'd hot footed it across town from the station (about 20 mins walk) after finding the vaporetto far too busy for us to get on. Jennifer was friendly, knowledgeable and made the tour very fun with some fantastic snippets of information too. We were so impressed with the food we sampled. We were expecting just a small nibble at each venue but no, we received very generous samples and we were extremely impressed. Highly recommend this tour!

We had an amazing food tour with Ludovica. She was extremely knowledgeable not only in Venetian delicacies, but also in all things “Venice”. She was also very accommodating to our allergies, likes & dislikes. And above all, she was passionate about food and was very interesting to listen to.
