Homemade pasta is the hallmark of any foodie’s trip through Italy. To continue the gastronomical experience at home, stop by Giacomo Rizzo an artisan pasta shop located in Venic e’s  Cannarégio district .

Not far from the Ponte di Rialto (the only bridge to cross the Grand Canal), this well-known shop has been selling fresh, handmade pasta for four generations. Here you’ll find pasta in a variety of shapes, flavors, and colors. In true Venice flair, pick up pasta in the shape of Carnevale hats and gondolas. For the more daring, try one of Giacomo Rizzo’s unique flavors: beets, artichoke, or pimentos. Other Italian specialty items are also available to purchase: olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and sauces.
