Piatti

A bacaro is not a restaurant. It is a stop.

You come in, you take a glass of wine the size of a shadow, you eat one thing off the counter, and you move on to the next one. We have been a stop since 1948.

Reviews

  • Booked for two, ended up as four, and they did not blink. The Baccalà Mantecato did not last long enough to be photographed. If you are anywhere near Venice, go out of your way for it.

  • Went on a wet Monday expecting it to be half empty. It was not. I have thought about the Sarde in Saor at least twice since. I have been recommending it to anyone who will listen.

  • A colleague recommended it three times before I finally listened. The Polpette is the one thing I would not let them take off the menu. I wish they took bookings for two - that is my only complaint.
