Cecilia was delightful and gave a clear view of some of the best examples of Venetian bacari and cicchetti. I was never a great fan in all my travels to Venice but she peeked my interest and I will definitely visit some of her suggestions.
Cecelia is truly an expert and has credentials in so many areas. I felt this was like getting the best insider information from a native of Venice. In addition, her presentation was well paced.
This was a delightful “taste” of Venice and Cicchetti.
Ms Sitran gave an informative and interesting talk about the various places to stop for a snack or dinner as if you were from the different neighborhoods. I learned a lot about the various combinations different osterias offered - most interesting were bites containing anchovies. Normally, I would not touch them, but after the presentation, I intend to give them a try next time I’m in Venice! She also shared some recipes that sound worthy of a party.
I must admit I'm biased as I was lucky to have Cecilia show me Venice in person just last year. Her tour on line was very informative and I only wish everyone can experience it in person also - especially early in your vacation to Venice to feel comfortable about visiting the Bacari and ordering Cicchetti like a local.
