Cantine del Vino gia Schiavi, Venice

A cherished establishment for locals and workers in the area, this charming family-owned 'bacaro' from the 19th century is located across from the San Trovaso gondola boatyard.

Prepare to be delighted by the inventive and incredibly fresh bite-sized 'cicchetti' served here. Don't hesitate to praise the Signora, who skillfully prepares these delectable treats up to twice a day. As there is no seating, everything is enjoyed while standing.
