Carlo Pistacchi is no slouch. He's a passionate and daring shopkeeper. At his place, there's always a crowd of shoppers, those who discover and above all those who come back! It's worth mentioning that you'll be able to taste original, artisanal, additive-free ice creams here. The flavors concocted here are truly surprising. They range from ginger tiramisu and celery to artichoke, cinnamon, basil and fennel... Don't hesitate to try it, it's divine, so much so that some customers refer to the owner of L'Alaska as a happiness maker.

The history of the Jewish community in Venice has also left its mark on the restaurant business and, of course, the bakeries. Unleavened breads and kosher cakes (without milk and butter) are delicacies that Venetians frequently enjoy. The Volpe bakery, open since the 1950s, is said to be among the favorites of the rabbi of Venice. Its dry cookies such as bisse, impade(with almond paste) or zuccherini are exquisite. On the savory side, a few slices of thick pizza, olive focaccia and other unleavened breads are delicious.

150 years ago, Andrea Rosa invented one of the first home catering services. He would travel to the city's palaces to prepare prestigious lunches, quickly making a name for himself in the field of fine cuisine and pastry. The store in Calle Fiubera, with its old-fashioned storefront, embodies this remarkable family history. Salva's cakes and pies are renowned for the quality of their dough and cream. All the traditional Venetian cookies are also here.

One of the institutions of artisan Venetian ice cream, not to be missed under any circumstances (like everything else, by the way). The chocolate flavor is literally to... fall down! The address has a little bit of 1970s glamour, with its large terrace on the Campo and its tables in the sun, as well as its ice cream sundaes that you would see in a vintage series: peach Melba, banana chocolate, and coffee sabayon, served with whipped cream and homemade wafers. Something to feast on at any time of the day. The café also serves sandwiches for a quick meal on the go.
