Another bacaro (wine bar) that deserves your attention is El Sbarlefo. The place consistently draws a crowd of hungry diners craving for their famous Baccalà Mantecato (creamed cod), spread on a crostini (toasted bread)! Pair your cicchetti with a glass of wine from their comprehensive selection, and join the crowd on the streets bobbing their heads and tapping their feet to easy tunes.

We’ll let you in on a secret: El Sbarlefo does an outstanding baccalà mantecato!

Background music ranges from mellow jazz to Elvis Presley for a steady hangout.

All'Arco
Family-run All’Arco tenders an exquisite selection of reds and whites from small producers across Northeast Italy. Choose your cicchetti from the glass display or order their delicious sandwiches filled with all kinds of meats and cheeses! Better yet, ask father-and-son Francesco and Matteo for their recommendations. A long-standing favorite, the bacaro is only open until 2:30PM. The food also runs out quickly during lunch hour, so come early to enjoy the cicchetti. You’re in Venice, anyway—it’s okay to be sipping on wine before midday!
Ca D'Oro Alla Vedova
Ca D’Oro Alla Vedova’s Polpettes (spicy Italian meatballs) are said to be Venice’s best. The well-loved wine bar also doubles as a trattoria (restaurant), so save room for their delicious Venetian menu after a couple of glasses of ombra. Book ahead to get a table for dinner, as the small space is always packed with locals!
Cantina Do Mori
Operating since 1462, Cantina Do Mori tells Venice’s storied past. The tavern is one of the oldest ones in the city, allowing you to recall early days in northeastern Italy through dark wooden interiors and copper pots suspended from the ceiling. Its biggest draw is its history, but you’ll still find satisfying servings of cicchetti and good local ombra.
