Cantinone già Schiave

¢, Italian, Dorsoduro

User Rating: ***** 4.6

Fodor's Review:

This beautiful 19th-century bacaro opposite the squero (gondola repair shop) of San Trovaso has original furnishings and one of the best wine cellars in town -- the walls are covered floor to ceiling by bottles for purchase. Cichetti here are the most inventive in Venice -- try the crostini-style layers of bread, smoked swordfish, and slivers of raw zucchini, or pungent slices of parmeggiano, fig, and toast. They also have a creamy version of baccalà mantecato spiced with herbs. There are nearly a dozen open bottles of wine for experimenting at the bar.

Try the crusty bread with huge slices of Italian Ham with a glass of Prosecco.Fab! Our first stop every time we visit Venice.
