It's located opposite the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, which can be admired from the bar.
Good cicchetti, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, fair prices.

My favourite bar in Venice so far. Efficient stuff, nice to everyone, available, and I loved the place. It's also not overpriced at all.

Impeccable bacaro experience.
I'll list some positives :
- Wine selection, as well as enough other drinks for those who don't want wine
- freshly prepared Cicchetti with enough variety to suit all tastes
- very stylish music playlist of classic 80-90s disco
- lovely / lively people behind the counter
The negatives :
- can't think of one...
Thank you for the well spent evening 🤗

We stopped by this bar while strolling through Venice and noticed a great selection of cicchetti displayed in the window. We decided to stay and try a few, along with a couple of drinks. We sat by the window with a lovely view of the city — such a pleasant spot! Delicious cicchetti, friendly service, and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommended!

A very lively and popular bacaro. Prime position. Location is picture perfect, opposite church, across ponte/bridge overlooking canal. Popular with locals and workers but also passing tourists coming into the area. Stopped over in the morning for coffee but the real unexpected star were the croissants, had these wirh chocolate, orange and pistachio fillings, they are delicious. Best croissants we had whilst staying in Venice. Prompt and efficient service. Chichetti looked good, nice selection and popular as well. Good selection of local wines. Nice vibe and ambience, both mornings and evenings, people in and outside the bar. Very reasonable prices. If you are visiting, come over and have a slice of typical Venice.
