Fritto misto. This is a must.

[@CliveN-yr1gv]

Ciochetti. Fascinating.

[@CliveN-yr1gv]

Sarde in saor! Yes!

[@CliveN-yr1gv]

Carpaccio has always been a favorite. It's incredible.

[@sebastianmessinger]

I agree. Such a delicate finesse

[@AlexMaisache]

What an absolutely exquisite way to tell stories 🙌🏿. I want to go back to Venice just to try the Sarde in Saor, because I didn't 😅

[@sebastianmessinger]

Al Gatto Nero on Burano was one of the best meals we had in 2 weeks in Italy. and Ristorante Ai Cesendeli also on Burano had the best spaghetti alle vongole I've ever had. Shiavi might be too touristy, but they also had great cichetti.

[@sebastianmessinger]

Thanks ! I’ll add them to my list :)

[@CliveN-yr1gv]

Another wonderful video. I've learned a lot. Not least how a tiramisu should be made. It's so badly imitated all over the world. These looked delicious. Thank you 🙏🏽

[@sebastianmessinger]

Indeed! It’s good to understand the rules in order to know how to break them correctly

[@simonmichaeltanner]

Beautifully shot video. Listed all my favourite Venetian foods, except for crab. Fondamenta della Misericordia is where I always head for cicchetti too. Alla vedova another great bacaro, with excellent bigoli in salsa. The spaghetti al nero not unique to Venice, though - also a speciality where I live, in Sicily

[@sebastianmessinger]

Thanks a lot for those recommendations. I’ll be sure to try them out! I wonder what Venetian dish showcases their crab the best, will be on the lookout. Ti ringrazio!

[@CliveN-yr1gv]

Black pasta and rice. I make them but never realized they were Venetian.

[@sebastianmessinger]

Not exclusively, but they are a flagship dish of the lagoon nonetheless :)

[@CliveN-yr1gv]

Liver isn't fashionable but all offal dishes are worth a go.
