The REAL Food of Venice: What Locals Actually Eat
Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with Zocdoc: https://zocdoc.com/pastagrammar
Venice is one of the most visited cities in the world, but surprisingly few people could name a single traditional Venetian dish. Between the tourist menus and familiar Italian staples, it’s easy to visit without ever really experiencing what the local food is actually like.
So for my first trip to Venice, Eva set out to change that.
In this video, she introduces me to some of the traditional foods of Venice, from everyday local specialties to dishes you’re unlikely to find on a typical tourist menu. Let’s just say that the food of Venice isn’t exactly what I expected to find…
If you’ve ever wondered what people in Venice actually eat, or what makes Venetian food unique, this is a look at the dishes that define the city beyond the usual clichés.

Amazing video and most useful. Much appreciated, Wishing Eva the best with the pregnancy and the baby delivery
The only traditional Venetian dishes I know are risi e pisi and fegato alla veneziana. And now I know of several more. If I were ever in Venice, I would definitely do my best to eat only traditional local food. It sounds delicious and is a good way tp get to know a place better.
its funny you can buy it everywhere 🤣
I think some kind of AI missed the sarcasm, and provided me with a code add for this video
I love Venice so much and it's a dream of mine to retire there… but I fear I may starve there. 😛. You two have a wonderful channel, I'm subscribing.
"Gondola is a waste of money" she says, wearing a jacket that says "Calvin Klein Jeans".
I love liver. I grew up eating it and I make it fairly often. My favorites are chicken or veal, but beef is good to. Interesting that she can't eat liver because she's pregnant. We have 4 children, and I ate liver a lot when I was pregnant. No one ever told me not to. But I know what was once good, isn't now, and vice versa.
Fegato alla Veneziana
This channel is making me miss living in Italy. I didn't live in Venezia, but I did live in Vicenza, which was only 45 minutes by train away. A lot of the food you showed is stuff I grew to love when I lived there. Ahhhh mi manca tantissimo
Italy is not really Europe
So,they stole ideas from Japan and improved it.?
1988: our gondola driver (gondoleer?) was wearing purple high top converse sneakers. 😁
Where can I get a recipe for the sandwich bread?
Venice? Coffee.
I live close to Venice, wish I could have met yall! – Also, congrats didn't know you were pregnant 🙂
Sorry but the sandwiches made me feel sick! Tuna mayo how boring. And horse meat! Italian food way overated.
When my husband and I were in Venice for our honeymoon, we went to dinner off the beaten track. They gave us a menu in English. We noticed that there were dishes people were eating around us that weren't listed on the menu. A couple of dishes in particular that those beside us were eating looked fantastic. We pointed and asked for that. Delicious.
Chicetti!!!!
Traghetto!! 3 Euros to cross the canal, you get your gondola ride and dont break the bank!
I have eaten Musetto in Venice and it was quite good. I believe it is an old typical Venetian dish.
4:31 looks like a Japanese sando!
22:35 Congratulazioni Eva! 🎉
everything looks like cat food
Over priced Crap😊
Beef Carpaccio
Pasta al'nero is the one Venetian dish I can think of. Oh and the bibanesi bread (only seen them in Venice) And I've been 3 times lol
U 2 r making me believe that in Italy food is second only to religion!
Absolutely love the tone and spirit of your You Tube channel! When is your baby due?
I had delicious dried fish there, so so good
You ate horse?!!! I thought that was something that died out after the war when food was scarce and people were starving. At least there are standardized practices for handling beef, lamb, pork and poultry but I hardly doubt there is a sanitary abattoir fit for handling horse flesh. Those poor creatures, Heaven only knows under what conditions they were killed.
I love her accent.
Interesting dishes but where is the colour? Everything is just biege.
Horse Meat, is this something new? Went to Italy, 54 years ago for some time and we never ate Horse Meat.
Gondola rides were like taxis, maybe still are, but it's more like a romantic picnicking moment, the tourist fantasy.
When she said she couldn't eat it I automatically suspected pregnancy. Congratulations!
Go to Sicily for real good food
2018 we went to Venice for Xmas. Lovely sunny weather and few tourists. Twice we drank hot chocolate in St Marks. It was expensive but not stupidly so . And it was delicious.
Yes, I can name a Venetian dish which I have actually eaten: "pasta al nero con polpo." It was in Venezia in the mid-90s and I enjoyed it very much!!
The cheapest way to get a quick gondola ride, in mere minutes, is to take a "traghetto," across "Il Canalazzo." (The Grand Canal)
omg congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉…
I'm last to know that she's prego
I did my dissertation in Venice, and lived there for a year. Since I have celiac disease, I had a kitchen from day one, and didn't eat out. My own relatives are from Ancona, and since half of them have celiac disease too, I can eat their food without anxiety! I was lucky enough to rent a room from a very very old Venetian family. The son taught at the University of Venice, and from day one gave me great advice on my dissertation topic. Someone here mentions Donna Leon's books. I found a deserted place near the armory where I could get away from the crowds and work on my writing. In one of Donna Leon's books, this exact place is where the villain dumps the body. It was, in fact, about the best place in all of Venice to dump a body, since no one goes there–just a lot of stray cats!
I won’t eat horse anything that could have been my pet! Especially here in America!
7:57 I'm sorry, what!?
8:00 …the “local” water of Venice is not only from the lagoon. There is a bit of a wastewater management problem.
But that aside, this was another inspiring food video. These restaurants are now on my bucket list!
What about liver with onions and polenta?
Actually the original spritz was made only with wine (white or red) and water, sparkling water. Because in those days in Veneto the economy was a "rural" one, the people was very poor and also everything that was made by the farmer had to be given for most part to the landlords.
So the wine. There was no Aperol or Crodino or nothing.
FOOD!!! stick to your title! you lost me
