Venice is fascinating and exciting city, a place that you will leave with a lot of regret . A city that hides its vital energy under a turistic mask. These pages are not a patchwork of Venice, these pages would like to be a special view, that could be very particular and, at the same time curious

The name ‘ bàcaro’ seems came from a Venetian expression as “far bacara” that means to have a party, to make noise, so in the end to have a fun. We have to take into account that in the past the tipical customer of the above mentioned places, is used to leave himself with the beverage, typical of “ Dio Bacco “ ( as said overdrunked), and so he didn’t use to respect public peace as it is nowadays. Also the names of the typical products of bàcaro, “l’ombra” and “cicheto”, have their roots; and as regarding as “ombra” its comes from the attitude of wine’s merchants,that in the past, used to keep the wine in a cool place, and so they moved the wine following the shade of the main tower in Saint Marco Square. ‘ cicheto’ cames from the latin word “ ciccus” that means “small quantity”, and still nowadays is used an italian version, as “cicchetto”.

The classic “ciccheto” are: meatballs or fishballs, and’sarde in saòr’, or codfish in butter and small octopus “ fòlpeti “,they came into a wide range : from fried ones to those are on a slice of bread with a great variety of ingredients.
