Bar Al Bateo In Venezia

The cicchetti are delicious. I don't think there's much to say about this simple place, with friendly staff and fair prices, far from the tourist traps. I don't know how long it'll last...

Delicious GLUTEN-FREE polenta-based cicchetti!

Excellent cicchetti, very kind staff

We were welcomed by chance and very warmly. We enjoyed a table with a tablecloth by the water. Everything was delicious, flavorful, and refined, made with quality ingredients. We finished with a very creamy, slightly iced tiramisu.

Best bacaro in Venice's historic center (the real best is in Marghera)

Friendly management! A light and lively Albana cicchetto with a taste of creamed cod tartine. Good wine selection.

A great and unpretentious place frequented by locals. Everything we are was delicious. Friendly and courteous service and we like it so much that we went back twice during our brief stay!

We went there for lunch. Lots of locals come to the bar. We sat outside with a great view of the canal. The service was great. English isn't spoken much, and you can get by with just a little Italian. There's no printed menu, but you can read the dishes inside because they're written on blackboards on the wall. The food is really good, local food and not too touristy. It's well-cooked and honest. Our small insalata mista even had artichokes and nuts. We were absolutely thrilled. If you want honest, home-style food away from the tourists, this is the place for you!

Delicious cichetti; loved the whipped cod and truffle egg.
