The best wine bars Venice

Basegone is a welcoming and picturesque address located in Campo San Tomà, one of the most emblematic campi of the city. It is a typical Venetian cicchetteria, with its charm and sense of hospitality. In this family-run wine bar, they make sure the quality is there. They select the best products and make sure they are as beautiful as they are tasty. You will enjoy glasses of wine, spritz and homemade cicchetti. To be enjoyed in a popular atmosphere, coupled with regularly organized events.

A small, rustic bar on the edge of the canal, just across the Dei Pugni bridge from the church of San Barnaba. People come here at all hours to drink a coffee, enjoy a good vintage, sip a spritz or a beer, and eat on the go. Good regional products (cheese and ham) line the window, and some delicious dishes are available à la carte at lunchtime. Perfect for a pleasant break. Local regulars like to meet up here, and you'll be made to feel very welcome. Warm Irish bar atmosphere (the wood has a lot to do with it). Very reasonable prices.

The owner Mauro Lorenzon is a reason to spend the evening in his wine bar. He will tell you everything about the local wine production and will open any of his bottles for you. If you ask nicely, he will happily and expertly pour a good bottle of prosecco. And when hunger strikes, seafood (including oysters from the lagoon), spaghetti with squid ink, ravioli, buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes will be among the dishes suggested on the menu.

Ozio is a modern and pleasant café with a large terrace in one of Castello's most emblematic squares. Umbrellas are a must in the summer, with sunshine guaranteed from morning to night. Come and sit down to watch the passers-by and relax at brunch time (good pastries and savory bites), at lunch time (croque-madame, club sandwich, salad...) or at tea/coffee time at 5 pm or at the evening aperitif, with a glass of prosecco and some homemade cicchetti to end the day. Young and smiling staff.
