After a long history of cafeteria, Il sole opened as a wine bar, that especially at the moment of the apertitive, servers pizza and snack. Is also a shop where is possible to buy some of the best bottle of wine. The location is right in the middle of the old center.
Located just a couple of minutes away from the famous Rialto bridge under an alley is a hidden gem called All'Arco. A place to devour authentic Italian dishes and smooth wines. The bar is always bustling with locals and very few tourists, who are shown the way to this place by learned locals. Since the Rialto market is close by, fresh sea food specials always make their way on the menu here. Their cicheti, plates of langoustines, fried calamari, sardines and prawns are must try with some bread on the side. Their wine selection is quite impressive and this happens to be one of those few places in Venice where you can enjoy cheap but good wines. This is an ideal spot for a pre-dinner drink, if you are looking for one.
Bekannter als unter seinem offiziellen Namen ist das Lokal als 'Hosteria della Vedova'. In dieser mit alten Kupferkesseln und -pfannen, Holztischen und -stühlen und typisch venezianischem Terrazzo-Fußboden stilvoll eingerichteten Kneipe hat man beste Auswahl unter 'cicheti' und einfachen Suppen.
Die schöne Weinhandlung von 1890 ist bei Touristen beliebt.
This osteria is on Strada San Lio. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Bar snacks include meatballs, sardines, cod and fried vegetables. At lunchtime you can sit down for pasta or risotto. The wine is especially good.
