I had to make my way to this little spot since I had heard so much about it. This bar literally made it to any local Venice persons blog/recommendation. So when you are on a little bar crawl, add this one. When me boyfriend and I arrived here it was packed ! It's literally I tiny spot with a counter. You don't eat or drink inside. You go to the counter, order, pay, then head outside. There's are small tables to stand at. It is along the canal so you can easily sit right on the ground near the canal. The menu is directly on the wall with glasses of wine for $.70. This is definitely the cheapest place you are going to find ! They also have different little sandwiches to snack on for $1. This is a mix of tourist and locals. The best part was that even though it was busy, they are fast ! I'm glad we got to stop in.
This was easily the most local, authentically Italian eating experience we had on our trip. We first saw this place around 1 pm and it was so packed that people spilled outside around the small square. The first time I entered the storefront to order food, I saw garbage workers and a pharmacy owner socializing. Bacareto da Lele serves Venetian Cicchetti, or small snacks/sandwiches, and wine by the glass. The workers there are kind and good-humored even to tourists (me). Sandwiches are €1 and wine costs between 70 cents to €2. I ordered a salami with funghi and a porchetta sandwich, along with a glass of white wine glera (Prosecco). I'm not a wine fan, but this was the best wine I've ever had in my life and it only cost €1. The sandwiches are unbelievable. You can do an ASMR video on their bread because they're so crunchy. I personally lean towards the salami sandwich- the mushroom complements the savory salami flavor so well. Be sure to visit Bacareto before noon; they tend to run out of sandwiches early on because it's so popular (we went the first time around 12:45 and the locals said they're out of bread). Check this place out if you're near the train station- you can get drunk AND full off less than €5.
This was a fun, local gem in Venice! Loved every minute of visiting and in short, can describe it as entertaining as heck, cheap and great place to get a small glass of wine and appetizer before your dinner. If you're not a local, you will be overwhelmed. I was until I watched what was happening for a bit. There were a bunch of people and no semblance of a line forming. Jump in, pack patience and eventually, you will get to the counter. Don't expect uber friendliness; it's so busy I wouldn't expect it. Have your money ready and basically, everything on average, is one euro. Make sure you look at the chalk board and pick from the available wine choices. I posted a picture of the menu so you can get an idea of what to look for. They also have small paper plates with snacks. The day I visited, they had a small plate with cheese, salami (I think) and crackers for one euro. There were only two people working the counter and although not too friendly, kept everyone moving in and out fairly quick. There are no tables or chairs. A few barrels are just outside the business so if available, it's a good place to set your food down. As a side note and a bit of comedy, the day I visited, there were so many people that they sprawled to the local church steps. To my amusement, a man with a hose quickly cleared this area out. For those of you from South Florida, a great way to describe this place would be the equivalent of ordering Cuban Coffee from La Carreta, on steroids. In summary, this was a fun and very local treat. So grateful to the person that recommended it to me.
I was so mad that I found this little spot so late in the game! ARGH! When in Venice, finding a good bàcari/cicchetti* spot is IMPORTANT! Why? Because it is inexpensive, usually freaking-fantastic and a good way to eat/drink a little with the locals. This bar is located VERY close to Pza Roma so if you are pressed for time it is quick and close by. At this specific spot, you could get two panini and two "swallows" of wine (see my pic) for under 4 euro... which is pretty awesome when you are completely burnt out on paying 15+ euro for lackluster pasta or pizza (Venice is very, very expensive and it is hard to find quality food aka non-tourist traps). I found this spot to be very useful for lunchtime because the summer heat really zaps your appetite (well, at least mine) and eating something small, DELICIOUS and inexpensive was a major convenience. They serve paninis in the morning and then again in the afternoon... once they are out, the food is done! So, if you are going in the evening, 530 is a good time being they close around 8pm. There are a few other spots around Venice that serve other types of cicchetti but depending on what time of year you are visiting they may be closed (for holiday, etc). So do your research and make your own CICCHETTI CRAWL! *cicchetti is to Venice what tapas are to Spain
We accidentally stumbled upon this place. It was nighttime, and was PACKED and we saw no tourists around...first plus. We approached, saw the prices on the chalkboard with NOTHING over €1.20...second plus. We nudged our way in, ordered 4 glasses of wine and 2 cicchetti...our total was around €7-8...third plus. We took our wine and sat on the steps leading into the adjacent canal...fourth plus. Spending American Thanksgiving Day on the edge of a quiet Venice canal and sipping wine...equals...5 STARS!!!
You cannot go to Venice without passing by here. Eat like a true local amongst the locals. A couple glasses of wines and two orders of the serving of cured meat, mozzarella, and mini breadsticks set us back only a few euros! And it was the best mozzarella and cured meat of the trip! Not even sure exactly what kind of meat but it was superb! The wine was called Raboso and is local to the area. Little places like this don't provide tables but just take your wine and cheese to the outside plaza to take in the view. While there, some locals who had just graduated from college were also there (I knew this based on the leafy crown on their heads which I googled to discover it's a ceremonial graduation tradition in Venice) and they all ordered the same as what we ordered. They hung out in the plaza, celebrated with Italian singing and dancing, and even had an accordion. Perfect small dishes with a glass of wine in hand and locals singing in the background. It was most definitely a Venice highlight.
Wow what a find! My fiancée and I found this on a recommendation by a friend and this place was amazing prosecco going for .90 cents! Wow and it tasted really good! It is on the outskirts of Venice itself but if you ever have a chance of running into this place I would highly recommend stopping by! I wished I could of been there all day!
At 5PM on a Monday this place was packed! It's easy to see why, with ombre for 1E or less and sandwiches for around the same. It's a little hole in the wall type place, without much room to do more than order. Most patrons quickly grabbed their wine and Panini to enjoy along the canal just outside the bar. Definitely include Bacareto Da Lele as part of your cicchetti tour, or consider it for a quick snack while exploring Venice.

One of my favorite places during my trip to Italy. Great place to interact with locals while munching on some tasty small bites and wine at a VERY affordable price. It was a bit of a walk from where I was staying but it was def worth the trek. Next time, I'll stay closer so I can come here everyday. Great place. read more

We came for a quick breakfast. We got the little sandwiches to go. They were cheap and delicious. What more can you ask for? I would have loved to go back when they had more things available. I loved the overall ambiance of locals just standing around sipping wine (early in the morning) and enjoying their rolls. Service is fast and efficient. read more

Cheaper than making your own panini's. Great little place, with lots of locals enjoying a break. 3 small panini's and a glass of red wine, 4.20 euro, lol. Pick up your food and eat it outside. Large selection. Wow. read more

Worth waiting in line! The porchetta and mustard was light and went well with the Prosecco and the cheese & sun-dried tomato cicchetti was perfect with the Cabernet. read more

Mini sandwiches and cheap good wine. What more could u want? Great for a quick lunch or snack with a great view of a less crowded canal! Got a glass of Prosecco and 3 mini sandwiches for under 5€. read more
Sadly out of all the food available in Italy, I enjoyed the salami and cheese mini panini from this hole in the wall bar the most. It was so cheap at 1 euro. As I was leaving Venice, I got lost, desperately trying to find bacareto da lele again. I found it at dusk but there were no more mini paninis left and tourists and locals bombarded the place trying to get a glass of vino. I will return one day. read more

Cheap & Amazing....can you get better than that? Mini baguette sandwiches for €1 and wine for €.80, I started each day here because it was so good. There is no seating and it's always packed but moves quite quickly, I always sat out by the canal for the view that was in front. I will warn you of the birds though....my last day there a bird swooped down towards my head and knocked my sandwiches out of my hand so that they could eat it, even they knew how good they were! Thankfully with the inexpensive cost of the sandwiches I just bought another and laughed at the new story to tell. My favorite sandwiches were the porchetta then the salami & formaggio. read more

I'm pretty sure I got here after the normal time for cicchetti, because they were mostly cleaned out of food! Thankfully there were some little salami/parmesan panini left, so I got one to try along with a glass of prosecco. It was so good! It even drove the regret of under-preparing for my cicchetti search out of my brain. Next time I will be better prepared, and this place is on my list. I can't wait to try their other food. read more
