15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Pasticceria Rizzardini

A Taste of History: Pastry Shop Since 1742. Indulge in the flavors of Venetian tradition at a pastry shop that has delighted locals since 1742. Here, you’ll savor treats like the iconic “zabaione”-filled pastries, a creamy delight lightly infused with Marsala liqueur. Famous for its cream puffs, strudels, and Venetian donuts, this bakery has withstood the test of time—and even the challenges of Venice’s “acqua alta” (high tides). In the rare case this pastry shop is closed, we’ll visit another historic gem, active since 1886, where generations of Venetians have stopped for a sweet treat.
