Venetian Risotto & Seafood Dinner — Naturally Gluten-Free, Venice
Venice, Italy
About This Activity
Venice's seafood-driven cuisine is inherently gluten-friendly: risotto al nero di seppia (black cuttlefish risotto), grilled or baked fish, fritto misto (request without the batter), and mixed seafood platters contain no wheat. Restaurants in the Dorsoduro and Cannaregio neighbourhoods — including Osteria al Squero and Trattoria al Gatto Nero on Burano — are experienced with GF adaptations. Alert your server to celiac requirements and confirm the risotto stock is wheat-free. Expect €40–60 per person for a full dinner with wine.
