The culinary tradition - The glory of the Venetian cuisine has a long historical tradition. San Marco's city, thanks to its relationships to the East, has been the first to introduce in Europe the rice, which constitutes the basis of many local recipes. The classic risi and bisi (rice and peas) had the honour to open in many occasions the Doge's dinners in the day of the patron feast. Now a dish that is cooked very often is the fish brackish-fragrant "risotto" with shrimps, small squids, peoci (mussels), cape (clams). The Venetian cuisine, beside the soups that is risi and zuca (rice and pumpkin) and the typical pasta and fasòi (noodles and beans), is based of course on sea products.
