Mozzarella in Carrozza
Sliding into the second spot is Mozzarella in Carrozza. Vendors across Venice craft it with skill. Picture this: stretchy mozzarella finds a home between slices of local bread. Not just any bread, but one that holds the cheese without getting soggy.
Vendors take this cheese-bread combo and work magic. They dip it in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Next, it hits the hot oil. It fries until it's a beautiful golden color. The outside crunches when you bite. The inside? It's the cheese that stretches and pulls in the most satisfying way.
In Venice, this snack is a star. Each bacaro has its own twist. Maybe they tuck in a slice of ham. Maybe they sprinkle on some herbs. The secret? It's all about fresh, quality ingredients. That's what makes each Mozzarella in Carrozza not just good but great.
What's special about this dish is when you can eat it. Breakfast? Yes. A quick snack? Of course. A light lunch? Perfect. Add a crisp salad or some tangy veggies and a meal. This dream is found among street foods if you don't eat meat.
And the price point keeps it real. Even as its fame grows, it remains affordable. 2 to 4 euros, and you're savoring a slice of Venetian culture. It's a testament to the city's commitment to keeping tradition accessible.
This dish is a link between friends, a conversation starter, and a shared moment. It's common to see two people, maybe tourists, maybe locals. They're connecting, not just over a meal, but over a piece of Venetian heritage.

- Flavor: A delight of contrasts—crisp on the outside, gooey on the inside.
