Osteria la Rivetta

Old-mannered charm

"Osteria la Rivetta" in Venice is the opposite of touristic: it's reminiscent of the typical bacari and osterie of the past. It just feels so comfortable!

Osteria Al Squero

Simply a paradise!

"Osteria Al Squero" is in my top 5 bacari of Venice. If I am around Zattere and have time to have something quick to eat, this bar my place.

Osteria al Cicheto

A few steps from the station

"Osteria al Cicheto" is a small bacaro, a fine osteria in Venice. It's where I take my friends who are about to leave by train and we don't have much time!
