24/02/2026: If you're in Venice, you can't miss Strani: an authentic cicchetti bar that captivates from the moment you arrive!
The atmosphere is warm, refined, and incredibly welcoming, but the real added value is Daniele, the host and owner: loving, attentive, always smiling, and capable of making you feel at home as soon as you enter. His passion shines through in every detail, from the impeccable service to the perfect suggestions on what to try.
The cicchetti are simply extraordinary: creative, prepared with the freshest ingredients, and presented with great care. The selection of wines and spritzes is also excellent, ideal to accompany every bite.
Strani isn't just a bar, it's an experience filled with flavors, warmth, and true Venetian hospitality. With Daniele at the helm, it's a guarantee!
06/12/2025: I've been frequenting Strani in Venice for years, and it continues to be one of my go-to spots on Via Garibaldi. The main reason? The beer selection. There are always interesting, quality beers on tap, like Delirium Paranoia and many other constantly changing labels. The selection of bottled craft beers is also extensive and carefully curated: every visit is the perfect opportunity to discover something new.
The porchetta sandwich deserves an honorable mention. It's a must-try before and after Venezia matches, a true ritual for many fans who gather here to share the pre-match atmosphere or discuss the post-match.
The selection of cicchetti and tramezzini is vast, always fresh and delicious, as are the platters and sandwiches prepared with authentic ingredients. At Strani, there's always something delicious to accompany a beer or an aperitivo with friends.
And then there's Giacomo, the owner: a real sweetheart, always smiling, kind, and helpful. It truly makes you feel at home, a true host of the sort you see less and less these days.
Strani a Venezia is a slice of authentic Venetianness, the kind that's hard to find in the city these days. A sincere, convivial place deeply rooted in its neighborhood.
