A tour to discover the real “taste” of Venice” that will introduce the guest’s to the most typical Venetian food, cichetti (hors d’oevres), served with an ombra (glass) of wine. Typical Venetian cichetti are fried crab claws, meat balls, half boild eggs with anchovies, fried vegetables, moscardini (tiny octopus) with polenta, soppressa with polenta and toasted bread with creamed cod, i.e. cooked in milk and then creamed. However, the best hors d’oeuvre by far are the sardee in saor: these are sardines cooked and marinated with onions and vinegar and flavoured with raisins and pine nuts.
