Cicchetti tour

I did some research on cicchettti spots, marked them on my Google map and then just wandered around Venice stopping for snacks as I felt hungry. I moved on if a place was super busy. Many places were very small. I was glad I was not on a tour so I could really see places up close and see what locals were preferring.

Hi Becky, can you share the spots that you researched, you list for a self tour. Thanks

Yes, a list would be great!

I don't know if Alessandro is still doing his tour, but it is more like a 2 hour college course than just a tour, with a classroom session, then a lab session, then a field trip.

I looked at some YouTube videos on Ciccetti in Venice and jotted down names of places that looked like I’d like to try. One place I remember is Cantine del Vino gia Schiavi.

Alessandro is still doing tours AFAIK

We did the tour with Alessandro in 2017. It was terrific fun, but be prepared to not feel so great the next morning. My son and I were dragging while my wife skipped the early museums. “Andiamo! Let’s drink!”

If you want more than just to eat and drink, but to learn and be entertained, go with Alessandro!
