Finding the Best Cicheti in Venice - Which Bacaro to Choose? And What do Foodies in Venice need to Know?

One of the best ways to enjoy the typical Venetian cuisine is by sampling some of the city's best 'cicheti'. These popular snacks are very similar to the Spanish 'tapas' -- a variety of tasty little nibbles served alongside a good cocktail, or a glass of wine.

The selection of cicheti is inspiring, and customers can typically choose between tiny prosciutto sandwiches, slices of polenta topped with creamed baccala, fried squid, spicy sardines, canapes with cheese, vegetables and other savory toppings, and much more. The fact that all of this deliciousness is very reasonably priced, surely adds to the cicheti's appeal...

Venice is filled with delightful and authentic cicheti shops (known as 'bacari', in the local dialect). But where can you find the best of the best? The answer is simple - we've got you covered.
