Gondolas glide in to dock along the quay, while across the lagoon
the white-marble edifice of Palladio's San Giorgio Maggiore turns from gold to pink in
the waters of the canal: the late-afternoon scene from the Hotel Danieli's top-floor bal-
cony bar definitely calls for a toast. Linger over a
spritz
(€10) or cocktail - preferably the
sunset-tinted signature Danieli cocktail of gin, apricot and orange juices, and a splash of
grenadine.
Bacaro Risorto
(Campo San Provolo 4700; cicheti €1.50-4; 9am-9pm Mon-Sat; San Zaccaria)
Just a footbridge
from San Marco, this shoebox of a corner bar overflowing with happy drinkers offers
quality wines and abundant
cicheti,
including crostini heaped with
sarde in saòr,
soft
cheeses and melon tightly swaddled in prosciutto. Note that opening times are 'flexible.'
