The Veneto

Food, Drink shopping in The Veneto

  1. A

    Salumeria G Albertini

    This is a picture-perfect deli, featuring all the prepared pastas, cured meats, local Asiago sheep’s cheese and wine you could want for an ideal picnic by the river or inside the Roman Arena.

    Oreste dal Zovo

    OK, you may prefer to shop in the glossy boutiques of Via Mazzini, but we prefer quintessentially Italian, old-school haunts such as this wine shop, operating since 1958. It's crammed full of wines, grappas and assorted liqueurs - you may get a hangover just browsing. Ask the owner, a trained sommelier, to help you make an educated choice.

    Cantina del Canton

    Wine is as important to life for Venetians as water and a fine take-home tradition persists in Venice for tipplers unable or unwilling to spend on big labels. These wine-stores are crammed with huge glass damigiane (demijohns). From these monsters, each containing a sea of modest Veneto table wine, you make a choice and have it poured into whatever you bring - used wine or mineral-water bottles, it's up to you. You will be charged, on average, around €2 per litre.
