Harry's Bar - Brief History -
Harry's Bar was opened in 1931 by Giuseppe Cipriani. According to the company's history, Harry Pickering, a rich young American, had been frequenting the Hotel Europa in Venice, where Cipriani was a bartender. When Pickering suddenly stopped coming to the hotel bar, Cipriani asked him why. Pickering explained that he was broke because his family found out his drinking habits and cut him off financially, and Cipriani lent him 10,000 lire (then about $500 US [$7,839 in 2015 dollars]). Two years later, Pickering returned to the hotel bar, ordered a drink, and gave Cipriani 50,000 lire in return. "Mr. Cipriani, thank you," he said, according to the Cipriani website. "Here's the money. And to show you my appreciation, here's 40,000 more, enough to open a bar. We will call it Harry's Bar."
CICHETTI d VINI
CATINE e VINO SCHIAVI
A GERAT CICHETTI BAR in DORSODURO
Enoteca Cantinone Già Schiavi (a.k.a. Al Bottegon) offers not only a broad selection of €1 cicchetti and inexpensive glasses of vino under a beamed ceiling, but also a few dozen wines under €10 a bottle so you can take un'Ombra home with you.
This is Venice's most popular Wine Bars (Bacari). It's a great place for a nice casual lunch of assorted Cichetti (small bites) and a glass of Wine, or two.
CANTINE SCHIAVI
DOSODURO
Grab a plate of assorted Cicchetti, that you pick. Whatever you want. Get a nice glass of local wine. So outside, and find a good spot on the little bridge, sit down and enjoy a splendid little lunch. You're in Venice !!!
This is the Venetian cicchetti wine bar you've been dreaming about: old school and ancient, all wooden accents and crowds of locals.
Do Mori has been everybody's favorite bacaro near the Rialto market since 1462—they say even Casanova was a regular.
They do fabulous tramezzini—those crustless oversized sandwiches stuffed with deli meats, cheese, veggies, or tuna—along with a variety of scrumptious, tapas-like cicchetti.
OSTERIA BANCOGIRO
Osteria Bancogiro has always been my favorite place for cicchetti in Venice for several reasons. The first is the location just off the Rialto Bridge in a cute square with tables spilling out on the backside onto Campo Erberia (one of the best places in Venice for after-dinner drinks).
The cicchetti they serve are more chic and plated with a modern touch. Choose from a selection of raw fish including scampi and oysters or choose from their wide selection of made-to-order cicchetti on their polenta or bread. They are most famed for their curried shrimp salad but I think their baccalà mantecato is some of the best in Venice.
