This is a true wine bar—no compari, but the owner-mixologist whipped up a Negroni on request from their own products that hit world-championship levels: perfectly balanced, bitter-sweet perfection! For my open-minded side, a Portuguese sparkling or Prosecco that soared to exceptional heights—crisp, bubbly bliss. Cozy vibe, great music. Highly recommend!

The absolute BEST place for Cicchetti & wine in the afternoon!!! Delicious and fresh made, GREAT selection, superb wine offerings, super friendly staff, and very quiet little area!

It’s a cool spot, the bar staff were friendly and I felt like a hipster which in Venice is a little less achievable than desired.

Had an amazing few hours here on a Sunday evening. The bartender, Elvis, was phenomenal in taking us through different wines and letting us figure out what we liked. The music and the vibe was 10/10!

Tucked away in an alley, you’ll find one of the most surprising wine bars in Venice. The wine list is filled with hidden gems that I know and work with in NYC, and it's exceptional—comparable to selections in the finest restaurants in New York, Rome, or Milan. I've heard that the owner is genuinely passionate about wine, which is why this place will be a must-visit whenever I return. While there are other well-known spots in this city that serve high-quality natural wines and gourmet cicchetti, this wine bar stands out without the hype and social media fanfare. It's easy to get served quickly and find a spot to sit.

It must be a great place for wine lovers. The selection looks endless, the atmosphere is great and the servis was very personal. Very happy to have found this place.

Found this by chance on maps and I’m so glad I did! It has now become a fav. Lovely ciccheti and drinks at a fair price. It is away from the main touristy bit, so it feels more authentic. Atmosphere is great, very cosy. Great wine selection. Would recommend.

Stumbled upon this cozy wine bar whilst looking for a place to have a drink before dinner. We originally set out for Vino Vero, but it was packed and we wanted a seat and a relaxed atmosphere. La sede emerged like a mirage in a desert - exactly what we were looking for…low key, good wine selection, fair prices and some cicchetti to tide us over until dinner. Staff was really friendly and accommodating!
