Nestled off Strada Nova, this charming bacaro blends cozy decor with delectable Venetian classics, notably their legendary meatballs and local wines.
"Right off the busy Strada Nova, this cozy spot with lace-covered light fixtures and copper pots hanging from the ceiling has fantastic heavier dishes like fried meatballs made with shredded slow-cooked beef, and the wonderfully firm polenta cicchetti topped with baccalà mantecato. Sure, you can pop in for a quartino of Italian wine and some snacks, but you should stay for a full meal and get some spaghetti alle vongole or spaghetti alla busara with tomatoes, chili, and prawns." - gillian mcguire
