🖼️ The 61st edition of the Venice Biennale is about to begin.
If you’re visiting the city during this time, it’s also a great opportunity to explore its food scene.
Here are a few places to try, also featured in Soul of Venice:
📍 Da Celeste
A restaurant at the far end of the lagoon, reached after a journey that already feels like an experience. Once there, a terrace overlooking the water and a menu focused on Venetian seafood.
📍 Cantine del Vino già Schiavi
A well-known spot to try cicchetti, Venice’s version of tapas. People gather at the counter and spill out along the canal in a lively atmosphere.
📍 Gelateria Al Todaro
A historic gelateria near St Mark’s Square, known for its pistachio gelato and its location right by the lagoon.
📍 Ai Nomboli
A discreet place that has built its reputation on generous paninis. Many consider them the best in Venice.
📍 Antiche Carampane
A hidden trattoria in the streets of San Polo, with a straightforward atmosphere and a strong focus on seafood.
📍 Orto di Venezia
On the island of Sant’Erasmo, a unique vineyard in the lagoon where wine is produced within Venice itself.
