57 selected venues in Venice. Our suggestions on where to find food and drinks true to the Venetian traditions with a limited budget. Not only name and address of the best bacari, but also many useful tips to plan and experience the most pleasant trip to Venice. The bacari are historical public houses also known as "osterie" in other parts of Italy, where you can always enjoy a glass of house wine, in Venice called "un'ombra" (lit. shadow, to indicate a smaller glass of wine), perhaps accompanied by delicious tidbits, here in Venice called "cicchetti". This book will take you on for a tour in the genuine Venice, where the historical inhabitants still live, those who resisted the exodus and gentrification that risks emptying the city of its real people, to become a mere tourist attraction. You will also find some useful tips to navigate the difficulties of a city with a unique physical and social structure in the best possible way.
Some terms used in this guide are quite typical of the surroundings of Venice and, for the most part, don't have a literal translation in English, or in Italian for that matter! We have no alternative but using the venetian dialect but, to facilitate your reading, here below you will find a little description for each of them.
