| Lunch at Marco Polo Airport |
Italy is known for its delicious cuisine. Pasta, pizza, gelato, seafood, and all sorts of other delights abound. So you might think how hard can it be to find good food in Venice? You should be able to pop into any restaurant and have a fabulous meal. But you may be surprised to learn that in Venice, not so much. It may be because so many of the patrons are tourists and therefore not return customers. It may be because the restaurants are trying to cater to foreign palates. But whatever the reason, it can be difficult to find a good meal in Venice. Before we traveled to Italy, knowing Venice’s reputation for sub-par restaurants, I researched Venetian restaurants for hours and days to find the very best I could for our trip. I was mostly successful.
