Join the bar crowd working its way through the vast selection of wine and
cicheti,
or
come early for a table outdoors (in summer). Inside the snug backroom that looks like a
ship's hold, tuck into seaworthy bowls of pasta with
bottarga
(dried fish roe), steak
drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar, and housemade ravioli. Cash only.

Attached to a posh trattoria, this
cicheti
counter wins Venetian loyalty with small
plates of
baccala mantecato
(creamed cod), octopus-fennel salad,
arancini
(risotto balls)
and Venetian
trippa
(tripe) to enjoy on a stool at the bar or in the
calle
(lane). Even with
gorgeous DOC soave by the glass, meals cost a fraction of what you'd pay for table seat-

GELATERIA SUSO €

S
Indulge in gelato
as rich as a doge, in original seasonal flavors like marscapone cream with fig sauce and
walnuts. All Suso's gelati are locally made and free of artificial colours, and even the
gluten-free flavors are extra creamy - but a waffle cone with hazelnut and extra-dark
chocolate passes as dinner.
