This cool cellar bar has a sun-drenched wooden-decking terrace afloat the canal in Piccolo Venezia. Enjoy a cocktail and generously topped bruschetta while members of the local rowing club ply the water with oars in front of you, or join the city's younger set as they party here on Friday and Saturday nights. There are live bands afloat at weekends.
