Il Bacaro - Astrid Friedrich

One of my favourite things to do in Venice is to wine-bar-hop. The  notion of a wine bar, unfortunately, when transported to North-America becomes overly chic. In essence, the very notion of the Italian bacaro, is very far from this: there is very little sitting space, if any, instead there tends to be a long bar areas to lean on, and/or a couple of wine barrels to put your wine and snacks down. Furthermore, there is no traditional wine or food menu. There tend to be far too many wines to put together a proper wine list. The walls are covered with shelves of wines and much more is to be found in the cellar.  As far a food is concerned,  there is certainly no wannabe sophisticated minimalist obscure menu that lists what seems to be a series of ingredients rather than actual dishes, instead one will usually find a beautiful array of finger-food displayed under glass.
