Bacaro

A bacaro (pron. bàcaro) is a type of Venetian osteria, usually simply furnished and sometimes standing-room only. Bacari serve wine in small glasses, ombre (lit. 'shadows'), accompanied by cicchetti, food offerings typically displayed on and served from a counter.[1][2][3][4]

According to food writer Dana Bowen, cicchetti served in a bacaro tend to reflect the neighborhood; around the Rialto Bridge, simple traditional snacks to provide a quick meal for local workers, and in residential neighborhoods trendier or upscale versions.[3] Often the offerings are seasonal and may change as the day wears on.[3][5][1]
