Caco Nero Bar Venice

My favourite brunch in the city

""Caco Nero Bar" in Venice is a great choice for breakfast, lunch dinner, or brunch. I still feel welcome here, which is of course not very common anymore!"

Caco Nero bar is a great choice to have breakfast, lunch (quick or a complete warm meal), for dinner and, what I love the most, for brunch on a Saturday. It is increasingly difficult to find a place in Venice where you can feel welcome, and here you feel the taste of care and attention as well as the quality: only organic and seasonal food from simple recipes at reasonable prices.

The windows have a nice view on the canal, so if it is a sunny day, sit beside the window and have a good cappuccino enjoying the winter sunlight. 

The interior is classic in a new and original way, offering a warm and cozy atmosphere, thanks also to their great taste of music. Moreover, I find it very smart and useful that there is a power socket at each table.

The area, Santa Marta district, is a residential district where you feel the authenticity and privacy, far away from the overcrowded, narrow streets and just 5 minutes away from Piazzale Roma!

You will recognize it immediately by the two pink flamingos outside the door.

Ps: Caco Nero In English is black persimmon. Caco in Italian also indicates the verb to poop, so it's black poop. Few people know the story of this name: οne evening the owners went out for dinner and ate spaghetti with squid ink and the morning after ... imagine! They opted for this name and only afterwards did they discover that it is also a fruit.
