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!

Being one of Venice’s more ancient Bacaros, Osteria Rivetta is perfect to dive into the local ritual of Venetian apertivo, that is “Ombra de vin e cicheto”
