What others are saying:
"..With her mesmerizing storytelling skills, Monica’s tours are a whirlwind of cultural, social and epicurean information punctuated by generous glugs of wine and excellent plates of Ciccheti (Venetian tapas)…" -- The Lonely Planet
"…It’s a way to taste real traditional Venetian food,” says Cesarato. “It’s hard to get [authentic cicchetti] at a good restaurant in Venice because many were born to satisfy tourists and don’t serve real Venetian recipes…." -- Monica on Ciccheti inThe Boston Globe
"We visited different Cicchetti places and we finished the tour in a superb wine bar with an amazing local cuisine, everything was excellent, we've tasted many wines and I discovered the Amarone wine and many local wines.....I am speechless....it was awesome, the owner of the restaurant bar was so friendly and we felt like real Venetian!!!" -- Review from TripAdvisor.com
