Let’s face it: Venice is one of the most expensive places in the world to eat.<\/p>\n

The restaurants, like the hotels, charge high prices.<\/p>\n

This is due in part to the fact that everything on the lagoon costs more (because it has to be delivered there from the mainland)<\/p>\n

But it’s also due to the fact that tourists are always expected to pay more for goods while on vacation.<\/p>\n

Venice is, after all, one of Europe’s greatest tourist destinations.<\/p>\n

What a lot of people don’t know is that the Venetian wine bar \u2014 the cicheteria<\/em> or bacaro<\/em> \u2014 is an affordable way to dine when visiting Venice and it gives tourists a glimpse into what life is really like there.<\/p>\n

Small plates (similar to Spain’s tapas<\/em>) are called cicheti<\/em> (pronounced chee-KEH-tee) in Venetian. Most believe the term comes from the Latin ciccus<\/em> (Greek \u03ba\u03af\u03ba\u03ba\u03bf\u03c2), meaning a trifle<\/em> or mere nothing<\/em>. Because of the popularity of cicheti<\/em>, the wine bars are often referred to as cicheterie<\/em> (chee-KEH-teh-REE-eh).<\/p>\n

The other name for the Venetian wine bar is bacaro<\/em> (BAH-kah-roh). No one knows the true origin of the world. Some believe it comes from Bacchus. Others believe it comes from the Italian bacca<\/em>, meaning berry<\/em> or grape berry<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bacaro culture is centered around small-plates meals and small glasses of wine (ombre<\/em> in Venetian; see this post<\/a>).<\/p>\n

It’s a truly affordable way to dine there and it’s also a way to understand Venetian food and wine traditions.<\/p>\n

Here’s a post (in Italian) by one of our favorite Italian food bloggers, Massimo Bernardi of Dissapore: A Guide to the Best Wine Bars of Venice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

English speakers will find all the contact info and a great Google-generated map to their locations.<\/p>\n

The best wine to drink at the bacaro? Prosecco, of course!<\/p>\n
