Eating
The visual blitz that is Venice tends to leave visitors bug-eyed, weak-
kneed and grasping for the nearest panino (sandwich). But there's more to La
Serenissima than simple carb-loading. For centuries Venice has gone far beyond
the call of dietary duty, and has lavished visitors with wildly inventive feasts.
Today visitors enjoy impressive cicheti (Venetian tapas), decadent pastries and a
lagoon's worth of fresh seafood.
