BACARI

Genuine Venetian jewels, the bacari are traditional taverns-inns where you can lose yourself among “ombre” (small glasses of wine) and “cicchetti” (the Venetian equivalent of tapas).

Our tips?

Go on an “ombre crawl”, from bacaro to bacaro to enjoy good Veneto wine and typical cicchetti. Here are the best bacari in the city where you can savour the most authentic Venice.

“Titus Livius tells us that before becoming “Veneti”, the ancient inhabitants of the city were “Heneti” or “Eneti”, in other words “men of wine”. This says a lot about the relationship between the people of Venice and this beverage”. From Corto Sconto, H. Pratt

Tips for mouth-watering first courses?

Order Bìgoli in salsa or “Risi con le sepe”. The former is a thick spaghetti-like pasta and a creamy onion and anchovy sauce. The latter is a risotto with excellent Venetian cuttlefish and the addition of white wine and Marsala.

Rosa Rossa – San Marco
Al Profeta – Dorsoduro
Birreria La Corte – San Polo

Who invented the pizza? The word “pizza” originated in Gaeta in the Lazio region in 997. But it was Raffaele Esposito, a Neapolitan chef, who in 1889 invented the famous Margherita pizza - tomato, mozzarella cheese and basil, with the same colours as the Italian flag.

AFTER DINNER

Il Mercante
Ancòra
Hard Rock Cafe

Harry’s Bar. Here in 1949 Giuseppe Cipriani invented the legendary Venetian cocktail known as Bellini. This pink coloured drink is a mix of peach puree and Prosecco. It owes its name to the robes of a saint painted by the famous Venetian painter Giovanni Bellini.
