Un Mondo di Vino

Venice


Get here early for first crack at marinated artichokes and sarde in saor (sardines in sweet and sour sauce), and to claim a few square inches of ledge for your plate and wine glass. There are dozens of wines offered by the glass, so take a chance on a unusual blend or obscure varietal.
