The Venice Food Tour is a relaxing 3-hour walk led by a local guide. The walk starts from the church of San Giacomo di Rialto, where we will meet the guide and receive the Streaty's Mangione Passport for free! In a few steps, the Streaty guide will take you to the heart of the historic Rialto market to show you the catch of the day and tell the typical recipes of Venetian cuisine. The loggia of the fish market is an evocative stage, not only for its thousand years of history, but above all for what it represents in everyday life.
The first toast of the Venice walking tour is just around the corner, in fact it only takes a few steps to reach the vibrant area of Venetian bacari, with typical popular taverns. During the Rialto food and market tour, the Streaty guide will offer you a delicious selection of cicchetti, typical tapas of the lagoon, ranging from the classic creamed cod to the tasty Venetian spleen, from the delicate sardines in saòr to the crisp lagoon moèche (crabs) . At each stop, you will taste the daily special offered by the host. Each tasting is accompanied by a regional drink, prosecco, wine and grappa are a must, but a particular focus is dedicated to the Venetian spritz.
