PIAZZA San MARCO
VENICE
Daniel Bellino Zwicke is a New York-based food and wine writer, restaurateur, and author known for his expertise in Italian cuisine, who has a strong connection to Venice. He is the author of the book Italian Food & Travels: Rome Venice Pizza Pasta & ? and created "America's First Venetian Wine Bar" called Bar Cichetti.
Connection to VENICE
Inspiration for Bar Cichetti: Bellino traveled to Venice on an "exploratory" trip to experience the traditional Venetian wine bars, known as bacari, and specialize in cichetti (small snacks). This trip inspired him to open Bar Cichetti in New York City in 1998, which specialized in Italian wines and cichetti, replicating the Venetian bacaroexperience in the United States.
- Writings: His book Italian Food & Travels draws on his experiences in various Italian cities, including Venice. He writes about his time in the city, including visits to landmarks like Harry's Bar and the Rialto Market.
- Venetian Landmarks: In his writings and social media posts, he mentions visiting famous Venetian sites, such as Harry's Bar (where he ate carpaccio and drank Bellinis), the Rialto Market, and staying at the Albergho Gueratto hotel.

Author DANIEL BELLINO ZWICKE - NEW BOOK on VENICE
I am currently working on a new book - working title is "My VENICE," but this might change. It is Travel Guide - Cookbook of the World's most Enchanting City - VENICE, Italy. It will be a unique take on Venice, that is mine. It will lead the reader on a special journey designed for that person to get the best and most out of Venice, and to help avoid the crowds, of which can put a damper on things, "so to say." Daniel has been going to Venice since 1985. He created the First ever Venetian Wine Bar (Bacaro) ever to exist in The United States, and knows more than probably 99.9% of America's population, when it comes to Venice, its history, wine bars, food, and ritual of Venice.
The book will be filled with travel and cultural info of Venice, including : Where to Stay (hotels), where and what to eat - trattorias, restaurants & wine bars, sights to see, history and commentary, as well as recipes of Venice's most popular dishes and cocktails, with stories and history of these subjects.
