Bacarando in Corte dell’Orso

Destinations

A true taste of Venice

One of Venice’s most beloved bacari, serving traditional cicchetti and local wines in a hidden courtyard near Rialto.

Tucked into a hidden courtyard just steps from Rialto, Bacarando in Corte dell’Orso delivers exactly what visitors hope to find when they imagine a traditional Venetian bacaro. Intimate, lively, and unapologetically local, it offers an authentic introduction to Venice’s beloved cicchetti culture.

The menu features a rotating selection of Venetian small plates, seafood specialties, local wines, and regional favorites. The atmosphere is energetic and convivial, with guests gathering around wine barrels, small tables, and counters overflowing with tempting cicchetti.

Insider Insight

Don’t order all at once. Start with a few cicchetti, a glass of wine, and then go back for more. The best experience comes from grazing, sampling, and letting the evening unfold like a local.

Authentic, lively, and wonderfully Venetian, Bacarando captures the everyday food culture that locals have enjoyed for generations.

The quickest way to understand Venice is one cicchetto at a time.
