Tour Overview

Taste authentic Venice on a private food tour uncovering the stories behind traditional dishes. A rich, local experience beyond spritz and cicchetti.

Step into the soul of Venetian cuisine on a private food journey crafted for the curious traveler. Inspired by the spirit of Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy, this tour goes beyond the typical spritz-and-cicchetti experience. Guided by a local expert, you’ll explore hidden food spots and meet the people behind Venice’s most beloved dishes. From family-run bakeries to quiet osterie, each stop reveals a story of tradition, trade, and local pride. Learn how centuries of history have shaped the flavors of the lagoon—and why real Venetian food is nothing like the clichés. Expect conversation, connection, and a deeper taste of the city. Whether it’s your first time in Venice or your fifth, this experience offers something rare: authenticity, warmth, and the kind of storytelling that makes each bite unforgettable.
