he would go to Venice, an Exploratory Trip by which he in a weeks time would go to as many Bacari as he possibly could, eating Lunch, in-between Lunch, Dinner and all through each and every night of the week. he tried as much CICHETTI (Venetian Tapas-Like little plates of all sorts of Venetian Specialty Foods.
He ate Bacala Mantecato, Sarde en Soar, Bigoli, Fegato alla Veneziana, Riso Bisi, Mortadella, Speck, and all sorts of other Cichetti, Antipasti, Pasta, Fish, Shell Fish, Meat, Poultry, this that and every other thing he could get his hands (Mouth) on.
Before he went, he did as much Pre-Trip Research as was possible in the "Times Previous to the internet"
When he was in Venice, he asked as many questions as he could, striking up conversations with anyone who would listen, "many did." !!!!
Daniel took lots of pictures, ate, drank Wine, and gather recipes. He was smitten with Venice, its Wine Bars (Bacari, BACARO the singular).

Bellino Beats Tucci's Taste Best Sellers Cooking Italian
BEST SELLING ITALIAN COOKBOOKS
Stanley Tucci grew up in an Italian American family that spent every night around the table. He shared the magic of those meals with us in The Tucci Cookbook and The Tucci Table, and now he takes us beyond the recipes and into the stories behind them.
Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about growing up in Westchester, NY, preparing for and shooting the foodie films Big Night and Julie & Julia, falling in love over dinner, and teaming up with his wife to create conversation-starting meals for their children. Each morsel of this gastronomic journey through good times and bad, five-star meals and burnt dishes, is as heartfelt and delicious as the last.
Written with nostalgia and Stanley's signature wry humor, Taste is for readers of Bill Buford, Gabrielle Hamilton, and Ruth Reichl--and anyone who knows the power of a home-cooked meal.
