Came here with 4 friends and had a sensational time. Got a great bottle of local white wine, and 8 cicchetti (bite sized morsels, like Italian tapas). Had such a nice time sitting in the evening sun, warm weather and enjoying a glass of nice wine with a few mouthfuls of something tasty. Definitely would recommend coming here. We spent €50 and I think that was great value for money.
Best bartender in town. Created us a magical Mezcal Negroni - better, much better than the ones they serve in Firenze, where the Mezcal version/ graze has been invented. Great wines, too. Everything nicely explained.
Came here from a recommendation of a friend who lived in Venice. Great bar with excellent wines and cicchetti. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and gave us recommendations for wines which were spot on. We have returned on subsequent visits to Venice and will continue to
The best: kind attention and a variety of wine with good prices. A glass of wine or prosecco from 3.5€. They will offer patatine with aperitivo and some cicchetti are available to buy. Tables are outside with the view of a not so crowded street. Perfect for couples or small groups. They also have a bathroom in the back, but you need to ask for the keys.
Massimiliano, the owner, the guy in the picture, is such a great bar owner. The drinks are artesian liqueurs. The prices are fair. We will come many many more times. Thanks for the good time
