El Sbarlefo In Venezia

Stop before taking the train, on the way back from a visit to the academy!! Young, cheerful, fast and friendly staff! Typical Venetian cicchetti, both fried and delicious crostini, in particular we had cheese and pepper meatball and mozzarella in carrozza, two crostini, one with creamed cod and one with buzara octopus...delicious. All paired with a glass of prosecco with the bottom. Adequate account

I enjoyed a spritz, a somewhat cold welcome.

We just stumble across this cool spot, the cicchetti so good! The anchovies one was delicious! He even gave us a little extra which was so nice of him

We stopped by El Sbarlefo planning to grab a quick bite to go but the welcoming atmosphere made us stay and sit. The Aperol Spritz was perfect. Definitely try the anchovies, a true flavor explosion in your mouth. A cozy spot with friendly service that makes you want to linger.

Great selection of wines and spritzes besides the usual offerings. Seems to be appreciated by the locals and they are friendly to tourists. Also appears to be very dog friendly. Would highly recommended to any one looking for a drink and cicchetti.

Small but welcoming; classy service despite the place being rustic in the typical Venetian style. Adequate prices.

El Sbarlefo is an authentic jewel in the heart of Venice, perfect for those looking for a genuine experience between cicchetti and local wines.

The food is excellent: the cicchetti, prepared with fresh, quality ingredients, offer a wide range of flavours, from classics such as meatballs or creamed cod, to more creative proposals that vary according to the season. Every bite is an explosion of taste, which testifies to the care and passion with which they are prepared. Wine is another strong point of El Sbarlefo. The selection of local labels is well curated, with options for all tastes and wallets. The staff is always ready to recommend the right pairing of cicchetti and wine, making the experience even more pleasant. Finally, the service is impeccable: the staff is friendly, attentive and passionate, always ready to have a chat and share some curiosities about the city.
