Venice Food and Drink
Historically, Venice was
the crossroads of the spice trade between Europe and the Orient and was
a city that played host to a myriad of nationalities and cultures. As a
result, Venetian cuisine is a blend of numerous cooking styles and dishes,
such as rio al cavroman, a Levantine method of cooking lamb with cloves
and cinnamon, transformed by the Venetians into their famous risotto. Polenta,
too, is a basic ingredient found in many of Venice's dishes.
Specialists in seafood,
Venetians can find an infinite variety of ways to cook baccala and liven
up the humble sardine with onions, spiced vinegar, pine nuts and raisins
to make sardelle in saor. Liver and onion (fegato alla veneziana) and rice
and peas (risi e bisi) are also Venetian specialities. However, if you
prefer a more international flavour, there are a wide variety of foreign
restaurants throughout the city.

The tourism industry in Venice
is very mindful of the challenges Venice sets for disabled travelers, with
its prevalence of bridges, boats and canals.
Visit the Comune di Venezia
site for extensive information on disabled visitor facilities and services
including getting around, accommodation, dining, cultural attractions and
maps and itineraries.
APT tourist offices can
help with lists of wheelchair-accessible accommodation and free maps of
wheelchair-friendly routes on all the islands.
All public "vaporetti" boats
are accessible by wheelchair with the exception of line 52. Venice's train
stations at Mestre and Santa Lucia are both accessible to the disabled
and fitted with access ramps, disabled toilets and Welcome Centres.- contact
041.785570 from 7.00 am to 9.00 pm. Assistance to board the trains is available
given 24-hours notice.
Travelers with impaired
vision can download tactile maps from the Venice City Council website.
Informa Handicap offers phone helpline for physically disabled and deaf
travelers in Italy - call 041 534 17 00 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Venice Tipping Advice
As well as a standard service
charge, expect to tip between 5% and 10% to waiters in restaurants for
good service. Taxi drivers should also get between 5% and 10%, whereas
chambermaids and bellboys should get up to EUR 1.00 per day / bag. Smaller
tips to any other staff are sure to be appreciated, as tipping is widely
practised in Italy.
Don't assume that all restaurants
and bars accept credit cards - ask before ordering. Restaurants which accept
credit cards will not allow you to put a tip on the card. Many smaller
retailers do not accept American Express cards.
Cicheti, similar to restaurant
antipasta, are often delicious and inexpensive snacks served in Osterie
e bacari taverns. Other treats include saòr, bigoi in salsa, tripe,
liver alla veneziana and fish fries.
A small 'bread and cover'
charge (pane e coperto) of between €0.50 and €15 is added to
restaurant bills except when eating 'tourist menus'.
