Hello friends! Today’s post will be a little different: Instead of sharing recipes, I am sharing some favorite photographs from a trip I took to Italy this summer; specifically, those from our 4-day stay in Venice at the end of our trip. We had a wonderful opportunity to re-explore the city and to reconnect with dear friends. For my new followers and readers, do not worry, this is still a food blog with only an occasional travel post. Whether you have been to Venice before, or, are thinking of going at some time in the future, Venice is a fascinating place to visit!
12 Things I love about Venice
1. The Amazing Architecture
2. The Colorful Facades of the Buildings in the Morning Sun
3. The Arches of Over 300 Venetian Bridges (the Famous & the Lesser-known Ones)
4. The Small Canals of the City That is Built on Water
5. The Soft Colors of the Houses at Sunset
6. The Gondolas Bobbing on the Water in the Early Morning Hours
7. The Beautiful Flowers of the Venetian Balconies
8. The Old, Weathered Doors of Venice
9. The Small Details, Like These Beautiful Bronze Doorbells
10. The Amazing and Plentiful Seafood
11. The Islands of the Venice Lagoon (Especially Colorful Burano)
12. The Quiet, Beautiful Spots off the Beaten Path and Away from the Crowds
I hope your summer is going well, friends! I will be back next week with a recipe for a delicious summer dessert! Thank you, as always, for reading my post and for following along!

Love the pictures. What were some of your favorite restaurants?
Hi Martha,
We discovered many great spots, off the beaten path….. A few of our favorites:
— Aperitivi: Adagio Café & Wine Bar (a tiny place with only three tables) @ Santa Maria Gloriosa Dei Frari, San Polo
— Lunch: Trattoria Dona Honesta @ Rio Della Frescada, Dorsoduro
— Seafood Dinner: Osteria da Rioba @ Cannaregio
Let me know if you have any other questions
These are wonderful pictures and so happy we were there not sooo long ago and could check out some of the spots you suggested. We missed Burano so love that picture and also the whole fish served outside right by the water!!! Looks like a wonderful 4 days with a very handsome husband and son!!!
Thank you Susan, so glad you liked my pictures! Yes, we had four wonderful days in Venice and we managed to revisit several of our favorite spots and then some more! Such an amazing place, miss Venice already!
