Bacaro Tour in Venice: Food and Drink

Immerse yourself in the authentic lagoon atmosphere with the bacaro tour in Venice! This food and drink tour will make you feel like a true Venetian as you enjoy a classic aperitif, sip local wines, and indulge in delicious “cicchetti” along the picturesque Cannaregio canal. Discover the best bacari and traditional osterias, known for their simple yet charming decor, welcoming ambiance, and incredible food.

During your walking tour, you’ll savor a variety of Venetian specialties, starting with the iconic Spritz, the essential Venetian aperitivo. Its name comes from the Austrian word “spritzen,” referring to the wartime practice of diluting wine with sparkling water. In the 1920s, Aperol was added, creating the cocktail we know and love today.

As you explore the bacari, you’ll also taste crostini—toasted artisan bread topped with regional delicacies like sarde in saor (sardines with caramelized onions, vinegar, pine nuts, and raisins), cured meats, cheeses, truffle sauces, veggie balls, and fried snacks. These small bites represent the heart of Venetian cuisine.

The bacaro tour continues with warm dishes such as Venetian-style risotto, mozzarella in carrozza (a deep-fried mozzarella sandwich), and baccalà mantecato (creamy codfish with polenta). Each dish is a delicious tribute to Venice’s rich culinary traditions.

To finish your tour, you’ll enjoy one of Venice’s finest espressos, accompanied by artisan chocolates from a renowned local confectionery. This sweet finale will leave you with a true taste of Venice’s vibrant food scene.
