What it is
Small bites served at bàcari (Venetian bars): crostini with baccalà, meatballs, marinated seafood, and more.
Taste translation
If you like tapas or small bites with wine — this is the Venetian version. Social, fun, delicious. This is how Venice eats
Zen's note
This is THE Venetian experience. Walk into a bàcaro, point at what looks good, grab an ombra (small glass of wine), eat standing. Repeat at the next one. This is how Venice eats.
