Al Mercà — Restaurant in Venice

Fantastic place to visit, best priced wine and beers, gorgeous red wine and cicchetti, and really good value. Well worth a visit : THE BEST PRICES in Venice by far! The staff are efficient and friendly! It gets very busy because it's good! Standing only. Facts..... Definitely one of the most renowned and typical “Bacaro” (Venetian term for a bar that offer an “ombra” (small glass of wine) or Spritz and a “cicchetto” (little sandwich)). Just behind Rialto Bridge this bar is basically a small counter which displays on chalkboards the list of wines. Get the famous Venice born 1920 Spritz Select (3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Select Aperitivo and 1 Splash of Soda, garnished with a green olive) and eat a couple of 2€ each cicchetti (meat, tuna, eggplant croquettes, ham and cheese, Etc.). No seats, the beauty is sharing a glass of wine standing on the beautiful old Erbaria vegetables market enjoying Italian sun sipping wine. Truly great price-quality ratio and...
