Italian term or phrase: Veneziane gastronomiche
This term appears on a menu offered in the Lake Maggiore area. It is the first item on the menu so is probably a starter. My guess would be that it means "assorted Venetian appetisers" or something along those lines but that really is just a wild guess! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

assorted (mixed) Venetian appetizers
Explanation:
I think you made the right assumption, Nina.

I would say "assorted (or mixed) Venetian appetizers" or "assorted (or mixed) traditional Venetian appetizers".


In Venice these kinds of traditional appetizers are called "cicheti". They are usually served in the "bacari" (sort of Venetian wine bars) and you can choose among different options: seafood prepared in different ways, raw or cooked vegetables, ham etc...


In your context, I think they mean that they will be serving an array of traditional Venetian appetizers.

Hope this helps, even if, again, you were assuming correctly.

The tasting lasts two hours and includes 3 glasses of Veneto and Friuli Venezia-Giulia Doc -quality- wines, a selection of fresh cheeses with vegetables or a dish of mixed Venetian appetizers.

Enjoy your three glasses while your guide tells you about the land, history, and wine grapes, focusing especially on those original to the region and typical grapes. Sample a selection of fresh cheeses with vegetables or a dish of mixed Venetian appetizers along with your wine.

Popular red wines include merlot, cabernet, Raboso, and Refosco. You can sample all of these in Venice's bacari (local watering holes), where wine is served by the glass (known as an ombra in Venetian dialect) and accompanied by cicheti (traditional Venetian appetizers such as marinated fish, deep-fried vegetables, and meatballs), often substantial enough for a light meal.
