The Venice Carnival is food heaven. Some must-try dishes include frittelle, deep-fried sweet dough balls dusted with powdered sugar; galani (also known as crostoli), crispy fried pastries drizzled with honey or icing sugar; and cicchetti, bite-sized snacks served in Venetian bacari (wine bars). Also indulge in Venetian specialties like risotto al nero di seppia (black squid ink risotto) and sarde in saor (marinated sardines with onions and vinegar) to experience the rich flavors of Venetian cuisine during Carnival season.
