Hostaria Bacanera

Venice


Hidden behind the SS Apostoli church, this bar-cum-restaurant has a contemporary baroque style with wood beamed ceilings, a signature red banquette, and black bistro chairs set around widely spaced tables. Enjoy cicheti (Venetian tapas) and fried snacks from the bar or dine on fragrant plates of fish tortellini, seafood risotto, and tagliatelle with duck ragù (meat and tomato sauce). Live bands play on Tuesdays.
