Welcome to Veneto
Below you’ll find travel suggestions and recommendations for what to see and where to eat around the Veneto region.
Getting Around
Traveling by Car
If staying in Treviso city center (or Venice- although a bit more complicated) a car will not be necessary, as you can walk or take the train. If staying outside of Treviso (in a smaller town or up near our venue in the “prosecco hills”), it’s best to rent a car to get around.
Rideshare apps like Uber are not as widely accessible in Veneto as they are in the US, however you can schedule taxis via many companies. We’ve listed some below:
Download appTaxi to schedule, order, and pay for taxi services through out the Vento region.
Traveling by train
Treviso Centrale station has trains departing to countless cities across Italy, including a quick 30min ride directly into Venice. We suggest downloading the TrenItalia app for easy booking.
Traveling by plane
The closest airport to our home and wedding venue is Venice Marco Polo (VCE). From there, it is a 20-40 minute drive to the Treviso region. You can choose to rent a car or schedule a taxi service.
All about Veneto
Veneto is the best region in Italy, and possibly the world (says Mattia). Yes, we might be biased, but we believe Veneto truly has the best Italy has to offer. Stretching from the Adriatic Sea to the Dolomites, Veneto is known for its Prosecco vineyards, fresh seafood from the Venetian lagoon, tiramisu, radicchio, beautiful canals, spritz culture, and of course, Venice.
What to know:
“Dinner time” in Italy starts any time from 7:30 - 9:30PM.
Cash is still widely used, and the preferred payment for smaller things like coffee.
Every day around 2-4 PM, many stores and restaurants close for a “pausa”. Many restaurants are also closed throughout Italy on Mondays.
It’s best to call ahead to make dinner reservations when possible.
In smaller towns like Treviso, not everyone will speak english. You can always ask for “un menu in inglese”. When in doubt, google translate!
In Venice, or when on public transportation, make sure to beware for pickpockets.
From Anna: I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal in Italy. However, the rule of thumb is to avoid any restaurants with waiters standing outside, photos of the food, or no prices listed on the menu. There are too many fantastic places to list, but we’ve suggested a few places below to get you started.

Mattia was born and raised in the Treviso province of Veneto, and we now live here inside the walls of city center. We hope you love it as much as we do!
