Venice is an
exception to the rule that Europeans eat late– some of the best-value foodie
bars and bacaros (the bacaro is a peculiarly Venetian take on the Spanish tapas
joint) serve lunch from noon to 1.30pm, dinner from 7pm to around 8.30pm.
Even today, Venice comes alive like a page out of history.
The gondolas in the canals, the stony streetscape, and the renaissance
architecture are a testament to Venetian Culture and Architecture.
During a full moon, the beauty of Venice is at its peak. The whole city casts its reflection it the still dark waters. A common tourist would perceive that Venice occupies two planes of existence. It would break their hearts to find they cannot enter the other one. Staring into the city’s shining reflection would throw anyone into a deep, hypnotic fantasy. The only thing that breaks the spell is the aroma of fresh Italian food: The steaming risotto with succulent shellfish, floating in fresh vegetable and herb broth.
