Venice, home of Marco Polo, has a long history
as a crossroads of merchants coming from and
going to the East: from Turkey, the Arabian
Peninsula to India, China and beyond. This
contact with the East is also reflected in its
cuisine. Other influences are maize, that crop
brought from the Americas by Columbus and its
position in the Venetian lagoon close to the
Adriatic sea, providing them with all that sea has
to offer. In this section you will find several
recipes for typical Venetian dishes for you to try
at home.

Meno internet, piu' Cabernet
is a saying written on some of
the walls in the Venetian
Quarter of Canareggio. It
literally means: less internet,
more Cabernet, the famous
locally produced wine.
