What is the meaning of life? To Italians, it means going out after a long day at work, chatting with some friends, drinking good wine, and enjoying good food. And in Venice, there\u2019s a specific tradition and a unique place linked to this way of life. It\u2019s called bacaro<\/i>: and if you try it, your life will never be the same.<\/p>\n

What is a bacaro<\/i> and why you never stop at the first one<\/h2>\n

B\u00e0caro<\/i> (plural: bacari<\/i>) is an ancient Venetian tavern. You stop here to have an ombra<\/i>, a small glass of wine, complimented by a cicchetto<\/i>, a small bite that will prevent you from getting cross-eyed. Because, believe us, if you\u2019re with a lively company, the number of ombre<\/i> can get high. It\u2019s no coincidence that the word bacaro<\/i> derives from a Venetian expression, far b\u00e0cara<\/i>, meaning make a noise.<\/p>\n

But only tourists stop at one Venice bacaro<\/i> and stay there all night. True Venetians prefer to bounce from one bacaro<\/i> to another, and meet new friends at each new place. The philosophy of the bacaro <\/i>is grounded in alcoholic nomadism, so that\u2019s why we decided to make a list of the best bacari<\/i> by neighborhood.<\/p>\n
