Vino Vero

Top choice in Venice


Lining the exposed-brick walls of this canalside bar are small-production wines, including a great selection of natural and biodynamic labels. The cicheti here lift this place above the ordinary, with arguably the best selection of crostini (open-face sandwiches) in the city, including wild-boar sausage with aubergine, gorgonzola drizzled with honey or baba ganoush topped with prosciutto.
