We begin our journey into the culinary history of Venice by preparing two cicchetti: small snacks served as aperitif in the characteristic cafés called bàcari. With our cicchetti we drink a Spritz, the famous cocktail made with Campari and Prosecco.

The cicchetti are polpettine di carne e patate (fried meatballs prepared with ground beef, potatoes and mortadella, also in vegetarian version) and rotolini di zucchina ripieni (stuffed courgette rolls). Our first courses are gnocchi di zucca (pumpkin gnocchi with a delicate mixed herbs pesto) and risi e bisi, a creamy risotto with peas. As a secondo we prepare the delicious pollo in tecia, braised chicken in tomato sauce the Venetian way served with a creamy carrot and pancetta side dish (also in vegetarian version). The vegetarian main is courgette fritters with Parmesan cheese. Our dessert is a creamy zabaione with zaleti, and bussolà, sabayon with two different types of cookies served with a glass of grappa or limoncello.
