I got lost in VENICE at Night. It was my first night there and my first trip ever to Europe. I was a young man of 23 and relatively new in my travel experience, how to get around and what to do. Yes I got lost and the Magical Maze, The Labyrinth that is Venice, with its winding streets, many bridges and narrow alleyways.

I learned a very important travel lesson that night. One of the first things you should ever do as you are in a new city and check into your hotel. While you're at the desk, make sure to take a couple Business Cards of the hotel. Put one in your wallet or purse immediately, and put another in one of your pockets. If you ever get lost, you can give it to a Taxi Driver (Not in Venice though) and tell him to go here.

Yes, I got lost in Venice. I didn't feel it at the time, but it's a quite Wonderful thing to do, getting Lost in Venice.

I found this wonderful little Hotel in 1995, on my special trip to Explore the BACARI (Venetian Wine Bars) of VENICE. I had read a tiny little article about them in the New York Times that peeked my interest and inspired me to open one in New York. I book a trip for 8 days in Venice to explore, feel, experience and find out everything I could about the Wine Bars of Venice (Bacari). And I did just that. With the knowledge of that trip and my many years experience in the restauranat business in New York, I made a business plan, found a partner to join me, and I created the First Ever Bacaro in The United States, called BAR CICHETTI in New York's Greenwich Village.

Where CASANOVA Often DINED

and SEDUCED

In the fish market area, in Campo delle Beccarie, there is instead Poste Vecie restaurant open since 1500, where Casanova used to hide away with friends and especially girl friends to enjoy luxurious banquets. The whole area of St. Mark’s Square and especially the old premises, starting from Caffè Florian, have been hunting grounds of the great seducer.

.

DO MORI

The erotic tour of Venice cannot exclude the Rialto area and in particular the Sotoportego dei Do Mori where in the tavern of the same name Casanova liked giving the first appointment to his ladies. Who showed up strictly masked.

I had read a little article in The New York Times about Venice, that mention the Bacari (Wine Bars) of Venice, and that's all it took. Just a little mention (one Paragraph) of these particular type of wine bars of Venice sparked my interest, and I just had to go to Venice and find out as much as I could about them, for I instantly felt that I wanted to open one in New York (which I did).

Trattoria Antiche Carmpane

VENICE

Trattoria Antiche Carampane: This cozy, family-owned restaurant is a Venetian staple. The small restaurant specializes in seafood with menu items such as paccheri with prawns, carpaccio, grilled octopus, and spaghetti with clams. Besides its large seafood selection, it also features a number of non-seafood traditional Italian menu items, including prosciutto and tagliatelle with vegetables.

AL TIMON

Al Timon: This casual outdoor restaurant offers a selection of steak, pasta, and Cicchetti, as well as seafood, dessert, and liquor options. It also offers a stunning view of the legendary Venetian Canal.

This restaurant is an institution in Cannaregio, at the Apertivo Hour. People love sitting outside, sipping Spritz's, wine, and Negroni Cocktails.

ANTICA TRATTORIA PSTE VECIE

"One of CASANOVA'S FAVORITE SPOTS"

Antica Trattoria Poste Vecie: Dating back to the Renaissance, Antica Trattoria Poste Vecie is often considered one of the oldest restaurants in Venice. This 1500s-era restaurant serves several seafood and traditional Italian dishes, including tuna tartare, caviar, spaghetti with scampi, octopus, ravioli, lobster, and beef filet. 

HARRY'S BAR

HARRY'S BAR

DINING ROOM

HARRY'S BAR ... Harry's Bar is without question, Venice's most famous restaurant. It's amazing, but it's not cheap, and without question, it's out of the budget of many peoples budgets. For those with plenty of cash, it's a must do. The place has great ambience, delicious food, 1st Class Service, history, and a most wonderful vibe.

If within your means, Harry's Bar is definitely worth a special treat splurge. If you'd like to have a meal there. and you're on a budget, but splurging, Lunch is your best bet. Get the prefix all-inclusive Lunch Menu. 

The atmosphere of the restaurant, the warm immediacy of it, the company always of people who know each other, the ease of converse, the somehow knowing attitudes of the staff, all these add up to the club like feeling that all the best European cafés possess. Throughout its 93 years' history, Harry's Bar has been the witness of the XX century in Venice. Its importance was also acknowledged by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage that declared it a National Landmark in 2001. No other public place in Italy had received the same award in the same Century.

Harry's Bar - Brief History - 

Harry's Bar was opened in 1931 by Giuseppe Cipriani. According to the company's history, Harry Pickering, a rich young American, had been frequenting the Hotel Europa in Venice, where Cipriani was a bartender. When Pickering suddenly stopped coming to the hotel bar, Cipriani asked him why. Pickering explained that he was broke because his family found out his drinking habits and cut him off financially, and Cipriani lent him 10,000 lire (then about $500 US [$7,839 in 2015 dollars]). Two years later, Pickering returned to the hotel bar, ordered a drink, and gave Cipriani 50,000 lire in return. "Mr. Cipriani, thank you," he said, according to the Cipriani website. "Here's the money. And to show you my appreciation, here's 40,000 more, enough to open a bar. We will call it Harry's Bar."

CICHETTI d VINI

CATINE e VINO SCHIAVI

A GERAT CICHETTI BAR in DORSODURO

Enoteca Cantinone Già Schiavi (a.k.a. Al Bottegon) offers not only a broad selection of €1 cicchetti and inexpensive glasses of vino under a beamed ceiling, but also a few dozen wines under €10 a bottle so you can take un'Ombra home with you.

This is Venice's most popular Wine Bars (Bacari). It's a great place for a nice casual lunch of assorted Cichetti (small bites) and a glass of Wine, or two.

CANTINE SCHIAVI

DOSODURO

Grab a plate of assorted Cicchetti, that you pick. Whatever you want. Get a nice glass of local wine. So outside, and find a good spot on the little bridge, sit down and enjoy a splendid little lunch. You're in Venice !!!

Do MORI

VENICE

Do MORI

This is the Venetian cicchetti wine bar you've been dreaming about: old school and ancient, all wooden accents and crowds of locals.

Do Mori has been everybody's favorite bacaro near the Rialto market since 1462—they say even Casanova was a regular.

They do fabulous tramezzini—those crustless oversized sandwiches stuffed with deli meats, cheese, veggies, or tuna—along with a variety of scrumptious, tapas-like cicchetti.

OSTERIA BANCOGIRO

Osteria Bancogiro has always been my favorite place for cicchetti in Venice for several reasons. The first is the location just off the Rialto Bridge in a cute square with tables spilling out on the backside onto Campo Erberia (one of the best places in Venice for after-dinner drinks). 

The cicchetti they serve are more chic and plated with a modern touch. Choose from a selection of raw fish including scampi and oysters or choose from their wide selection of made-to-order cicchetti on their polenta or bread. They are most famed for their curried shrimp salad but I think their baccalà mantecato is some of the best in Venice.
