🥪 What Are Cicchetti?
Cicchetti are small Venetian appetizers, the Venetian equivalent of Spanish tapas. Served in bacari, they can be hot or cold, made with fresh fish, meat, vegetables, or local cheeses. Traditionally eaten standing at the counter, paired with a glass of wine or authentic Spritz. The "giro de ombra" – a tour through wine glasses at various bacari – is the true Venetian ritual of sociability and gathering. Each bacaro has its own distinctive specialties, telling stories of traditions passed down through generations.
