Folpetti is a traditional dish originating from Veneto. The dish is prepared with a combination of baby octopus, lemon juice, parsley, salt, black pepper, and extra-virgin olive oil. This simple preparation of Venetian-style baby octopus starts by boiling the octopus for about half an hour.

It is then seasoned with salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Before serving, this traditional appetizer is sprinkled with chopped parsley. It's recommended to pair folpetti with a glass of wine or prosecco on the side. For a more filling meal, serve the folpetti with boiled potatoes on the side.
