Eating Our Way Through Venice: The Ultimate Chicchetti Tour & Travel Tips

Welcome to Destination Eat Drink! Join us as we explore the real heart of Venice through its incredible food culture. In this video, we’re taking you on a “Chicchetti Crawl”—the Venetian way to eat, drink, and socialize. We’ll visit some of the best local spots, including: H2 No: For amazing craft beer and “polpette” (delicious fried treats!). Vino Vero: Where we find some of the most creative and crispy chicchetti in the city. Cantina Vecia Carbonera: A historic spot featured in our friend Monica’s “Venice Bible” cookbook. ST. MARK’S BASILICA HACK: I’m also sharing a special workaround for how to get inside the stunning St. Mark’s Cathedral without a ticket and without paying a cent. It’s the perfect tip if you find yourself without a reservation but still want to see the incredible mosaics and uneven floors of this historic landmark.
