Spider-Man: Far From Home in Venice: the film's city and its cicchetti
Spider-Man: Far From Home brings Spider-Man to Venice. A guide to the Venice of the film and its cuisine: cicchetti, bacari and spritz, to experience the city like in the Marvel blockbuster.
In Spider-Man: Far From Home, Peter Parker begins his European trip right in Venice, where he faces the water monster among canals and bridges. The lagoon city, star of one of the film’s most spectacular sequences, is also a surprising food destination. Here is how to experience it.
The Venice of the film
Between the Grand Canal, the little squares and the palaces on the water, Venice offers unique scenery. The film captures its magical atmosphere, among reflections and timeless architecture.
Where to eat like a Venetian
Forget the tourist restaurants: the real Venice is enjoyed in the bacari, the small taverns where you do the “giro di ombre”. Try:
- Cicchetti, Venetian snacks (creamed cod, sarde in saor, meatballs);
- A spritz or a small glass of wine (“ombra”);
- Bigoli in salsa and risotto di gò;
- For a “cinematic” coffee, the historic Caffè Florian in St Mark’s Square.

An itinerary between alleys and canals
Getting lost on foot among the sestieri, away from the tourist routes, is the best way to experience the Venice of the film. Every bridge is a potential shot.
In short
Spider-Man: Far From Home shows a superhero Venice: spectacular and suspended over the water. Experience it between a cicchetto and a spritz. Browse the other films set in the lagoon.
