Risotto

The Venetian cuisine, especially that in the city, is full of traditional dishes that are mostly made using all types of fish and vegetables, with only one limit: the seasons.

The cicchetti, the pasta dishes, the risotto - risi e bisi (the doges loved to eat that on St. Marco Day - and I grew up in Vienna eating that at my family's table), fish, seafood and meat dishes - and of course all these wonderful dishes must be accompanied by Venetian wines: Prosecco di Conegliano,Valpolicella, Bianco di Custoza and Amarone.
