   Cuisine: Traditional Venetian Cicchetti. Begin in a snug neighborhood bacaro, where the Venetian ritual of cicchetti brings people together around the counter. The narrow, wood-lined setting captures Castello’s convivial spirit: small bites, local wine traditions, and conversation shared without ceremony.

2. 2

   Castello

   30min

   Cuisine: Italian Pizza & Regional Specialties. Continue at a family-run trattoria established in 1947 by two brothers from Palermo, who brought Venice its first pizzeria. Now carried forward by the family’s third generation, the restaurant preserves an unexpected bridge between Sicilian ingenuity and Venetian hospitality. In its lively historic setting, enjoy a paired tasting that reflects both its pioneering roots and its contemporary spirit.

   Cuisine: Traditional Venetian. Settle in at a convivial trattoria founded in 1973 and long frequented by gondoliers, Venetians, and travelers.

The cheerful, family-run atmosphere offers an unhurried taste of the city’s everyday table.
