These are typical places in which you can taste, at more than content prices, very delicious Cagged, drinking a spritz or a’shadowa of wine.

In this article, In addition to explaining the meaning of the term Bacaro and advise you what to eat and drink, I share a guide to what are i Bacari more authentic. Send it to your companions of Bacaro Tour And I salvo for when you go to Venice!

What does it mean Bacaro?

He finishes Bacaro derives from the Venetian dialectal expression “far bàcara” che significa “festeggiare allegramente nel nome di Bacco”. Bacco inteso come dio del vino, naturally.

Leggenda vuole che il nome sia stato coniato nell’Ottocento in una “malvasia” – all’epoca una bottega che vendeva vino importato. It seems that a gondolier, Tasting a wine imported from Puglia, exclaimed: “Bon! This is really a bark wine!” (lett. “Buono! This is precisely a wine from Bàcaro!”). And so it was that the term soon extended from the type of wine to the place in which it was sold.

What to eat and drink in the Bacari?

Let's face it: What makes the Bacaro Tour attractive is the possibility of drinking well at low prices. What to drink, Therefore? Definitely it spritz, Alcoholic drink typical of Venice! I advise you not to order only the classic Aperol and Campari, but to try the variants at Select and al Early. The cost of a spritz is around the €2,50-3,50: Yes, You read Well!
Even cheaper, but not for this less good, are the “ombre” wine: of 0.10cl glasses whose cost is around €1,50-2,00. Naturally, You can taste both red wine, both white, both sparkling: Ask the innkeeper what the house offers!

And who said that in the bacari one goes just to drink? Contrary to what many think, One of the main aspects of a Bacaro Tour done well is food. On the contrary, You will be spoiled for the choice of typical Venetian delicacies with which to accompany your spritz or yours shadow wine. It is traditional to eat i “Cagged“, a sort of tapas or tastings, Usually composed of a slice of fresh bread with food above. Alcuni dei miei “Cagged” favorite are certainly: to the cod (Mantecato or Vicentina); with cured meats and typical Venetian cheeses (Like the Sopressa or the Asiago) and with Free (fried sardines marinated with onion, raisins and pine nuts). Venetian cicheti are truly cheap; The price varies depending on what is above, ma raramente supera i €2,50!
I advise you, Furthermore, to taste the carriage mozzarella, very different from those they do in southern Italy, and to make you do some small tasting saucers. Trial, for example, the stewed cuttlefish with polenta: a real delight!
