Do some prep the day before to streamline cooking—the cod mousse can be made ahead, and both the sardines and the stuffed peppers need to marinate for several hours before serving.
This menu is great for a cocktail party or other event where you're only serving hors d'oeuvres or small plates. To turn it into more of a meal, pair with a green salad and try a granita or some baci di dama for dessert.
The area around Venice has lots of great wine to offer. Prosecco is a classic choice and makes a great aperitif, but for something a bit different, one of our favorite wines to pair with the city's many dishes is the complex little white known as soave.
