In Venice, snacking is almost a way of life. The Bacari the local down-to-earth version of wine bars, serve tapaslike cicheti, traditionally washed down with a glass of wine, and Venetians stop to snack and socialize before and after meals.
Eating cicheti is a social activity, and together with spritz, they are characterized by the spirited and ideas in these lively simple and comfortable establishments.

Take Vaporetto boat line 1 from the Santa Maria del Giglio or Accademia stop to San Silvestro. From there, walk along Ruga Rialto, and you will soon reach Do Mori, a Traditional bacaro located past a wide arcade or ‘sottoportego’ opening on your left.
From Do Mori continue in the direction of campo San Giacometto, the picturesque setting of Bancogiro. This small wine bar – restaurant just 2 minutes away from the Rialto Bridge could not be more down-home Venetian, and yet offer a small but creative range of lunch and dinner dishes.
From San Giacometto, cross the Rialto Bridge and then the square called San Bortolomio. Go through the tunnel-like sotoportego and turn right immediately into a diminutive calle.
At the next corner you will find Alla Botte, another favorite spot for cicheti that are the trademark food of this bacaro.
The last stop of this spirituous as well as spiritual tour of the Venetian bacari is Alla Vedova on Strada Nova.
