When travelers go on vacation, they expect to have an array of food choices to try out that are unique from what is available at home. Culinary experiences have become increasingly popular.
Although most people have tried and love Italian food, it's not the same preparing it at home compared to having an authentic dish prepared for you in the country where it originated.
Italy is abundant in eclectic dishes. No matter where you choose to go throughout the country, you'll get an entirely new dining experience. For instance, when you head towards the lagoon, you'll enjoy Venetian cuisine, and if you head towards the shores of the Adriatic Sea, you'll get to experience traditional seafood dishes.
Dishes That Are Unique to Venice
Of course, upon visiting Venice, you must try some of their most authentic, delicious dishes. So, if you're not sure where to begin, here is a list of the most famous delights.
Spaghetti in Nero di Seppia
This charcoal-colored pasta-looking dish is pieces of squid slow-cooked in tomato sauce. The charcoal color comes from the squid's ink, added after the preparation is complete.
