Why You Should NEVER Visit Venice Like a Tourist! | Gino’s Italian Escape

Ciao! You are probably visiting Venice completely wrong! Join me as I escape the tourist traps to show you the real side of Italy, from secret local snacks to a stunning city where every single house must be painted white by law. Subscribe to Taste: https://bit.ly/3OZoDcV If you stick to the guidebooks, you miss the best parts of Italy. In this video, I reveal why you should never visit Venice like a typical tourist. Instead of crowded squares and bad pizza, I take you on a private boat and join a local gondolier to eat "Cicchetti," the secret snacks that only locals know about (including a bizarre tuna and cocoa powder combination!). Our journey doesn't stop there. We travel down to the breathtaking region of Puglia to visit Ostuni, known as the "White City," where I discover the strict ancient tradition that requires residents to repaint their homes every single year. You will also watch me struggle to stretch piping hot Caciocavallo cheese by hand in a traditional dairy and learn my grandfather’s ultimate secret for the perfect Tiramisu. This is the authentic Italian adventure you've been waiting for.
