Well I know that you’ll be making a guanciale run in Rome for amatriciana— thanks to that obstinate Venetian butcher. Always wanted to see Venice in the fog— now I know the right season!

Baccalà mantecato is one of my favorite things! And I love the moeche too. I’ll be on the lookout for some of these other dishes next time I go to Venice.

This is why you're one of the best experts (maybe the best?) writing about Italy. All you said and the emphasis on the true Italian way of life. As a born and raised Italian, I always learn something new from your posts. Thank you for the much-needed guide on traditional Venetian dishes & vegetables. Brava Gillian!!

Not sure when I'll go to Venice again, but when I do I'll re-read this article first.

You are making me hungry…the seppia al nero reminds me of a wonderful evening at Antiche Carampane some years ago.

My husband had Seppia al nero while we were in Venice and it was one of his top meals in Italy. ❤️
