Preparation is needed to eat well here. Many Venice restaurants deliver average meals to tourists. If you choose eateries where top chefs use fresh, high-quality local ingredients, Venice has everything a foodie could want.

Carnivores need not worry—a city with such a strong marine history naturally values seafood. Venice’s prices are higher than others, as expected. Venetians prefer cicheti to complete meals at bacari (traditional pubs) (tapas-like snacks).
