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 selections in town—the walls are covered floor to ceiling by bottles for purchase. Cicchetti here are some of 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.
