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

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