Typical of Venice is the “bacari tour” that means a tour of the bacaro (pubs), drinking red wine and eating meatballs and “cicchetti” (venetian for small portions of different foods, often fish). People of Venice use to go for a bacari tour before dinner.

Another thing you must try during your staying in Venice is the “spritz”, a drink made with prosecco, aperol and seltz or sparkling water. It’s very common the “spritz hour”, before dinner.
