Venice


Fashioned from an old deli, Marco Ginepri’s cool cichetteria serves accomplished food and excellent Veneto wines by the glass. Gourmet cicheti (Venetian tapas) include fluffy baccalá (cod) on polenta, marinated shrimps and Fassone beef with peppers, while main plates include succulent tuna in a sesame crust, warm potato salad with radicchio and belly-warming fish lasagne. Trust them to recommend interesting wine pairings.
