Bacaro Tour in Cannaregio
To make sure you really immerse yourselves in the experience of it, we prepared a little trip in the Canareggio area, for you to get a glance on this big universe of flavors.
You got your first stop at Ai Promessi Sposi, one minute from our gate.
What you can't miss out in the wide selection of their counter is their meatballs: three small ones on a stick, perfectly deep friend, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
From there, you need to go a little further on before stopping again and search for the long and charming Fondamenta Della Misericordia.
You can now take a rest at the first place you'll encounter, Vino Vero. They do the cicchetti in the canapè version: slice of bread fully covered with different delicacies. The selection of organic wines is fairly big for a place that small, let the staff help you find the perfect glass for your taste.
