discover Venetian food culture

Did you know that for more than a thousand years, spices from all over the world passed through Venice? Our city was the premier hub for luxury goods in the Mediterranean Sea: Venetians created fabulous spice mixes and even cultivated them in surprisingly exotic gardens in the Lagoon (more than 500 botanical gardens!). 

Let us take you right there, into the Lagoon and secret gardens, an adventurous journey of discoveries!

FOR ME, LA VENESSIANA HAS ALWAYS STOOD OUT BECAUSE OF ITS VERY PERSONAL INSIGHTS AND REAL BEAUTY – IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! - REFLECTING THE PERSONALITY OF YOUR INCOMPARABLE CITY. IT IS FILLED WITH INFORMATION I NEVER KNEW, AND IS A JOY FOR ME. - Janet Rant

wondering where to start?


Start by subscribing to our newsletters - we're now on Substack! To learn more about Venetian cuisine and receive tips and access to a private community (hosted here on the website), we'd be very happy if you would take a look at the membership called LAGUNA IN CUCINA

From the Membership, 20 per cent of the annual revenue go to Venetian associations like DINGO - taking care of homeless cats in Venice and the Lagoon.
