If you’re heading to Venice anytime soon\u00a0there’s something very <\/em>important you need to know: where to find the best food<\/strong>. <\/span>Veneto, the region in which Venice is located, has enormous variety in its cuisine, probably more than any other Italian region. Stretching from the sea all the way to the foothills of the Alps and the fertile plains of Emilia Romagna, this expansive and varied geography, along with the history of the Venetian Republic, have added many different layers and nuances to the food in Venice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, Verona is just a short train ride from Venice, but its hearty, meaty cuisine is worlds away from the light, local\u00a0seafoods\u00a0that appear on plates in la Serenissima<\/em>.

We don’t have space to take you to all the different micro-regions of Veneto, but here is a break down of the dishes you absolutely need to try to get a true taste of the food in Venice.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
