10 editor picks in Venice.
10 wine bar places in Venice we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Venice | Wine Bar across every city.
The wine bar in Venice is really the bacaro: a small room where you stand with an ombra of wine and a plate of cicchetti. Vino Vero on the Fondamenta della Misericordia in Cannaregio and Enoteca Mascareta in Castello lead the natural and small-grower wave, while Cantinone Gia Schiavi in Dorsoduro keeps the old-school style. Estro Vino e Cucina near the university and Al Timon along the Cannaregio canal round out a scene built for grazing and pouring.
Vino Vero in Venice's Cannaregio on Fondamenta della Misericordia opened 2014 and runs one of Italy's deepest natural-wine lists, the canonical late-night.
TipCanal-side outside seating fills up by 19:00 in summer. Ask the staff for the orange-wine flight; the Friulian pours are the move.
Estro Vino e Cucina in Venice's Dorsoduro is the Spezzamonte brothers' wine-bar and bistro with 700 sustainable wines, a Michelin Guide listing for good.
TipCounter cicchetti are walk-in; book the dining room ahead. The wine flight is the move; the staff curate it to what you order.
Enoteca Mascareta in Venice's Castello is the late-running enoteca run by Mauro Lorenzon, with a daily-changing chalkboard list and one of the city's rare.
TipOpens at 19:00 and runs to 02:00; the late-night wine room is a Venice rarity. Ask Mauro for a flight, not a single glass.
Al Timon in Venice's Cannaregio on Fondamenta degli Ormesini is the canal-side wine bar with a wooden barge for outdoor seating, the canonical Misericordia.
TipThe moored barge in the canal is the seat to claim. Grilled meat skewers and the wine carafes run late, beyond bacari hours.
Cantinone Gia Schiavi in Venice's Dorsoduro at the foot of Ponte San Trovaso is the De Rossi family bacaro since 1944, with house-made crostini and the canal.
TipEat your crostini standing on the bridge; the bar inside is tiny. Closed Sunday afternoons. Family-run since 1944.
Bacaro Jazz near the Rialto Bridge in San Marco is the bras-hanging-from-the-ceiling bar with cicchetti, jazz nights and one of the longest late hours in San.
TipTouristy but reliable. The 02:00 close means it's one of the few wine rooms open past the Castello close-out.
All'Amarone in Venice's San Polo is the small enoteca specialising in Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto pours, with a focused 80-label list of Veneto reds.
TipThe Amarone flight is the move; runs roughly €25 for three pours. Closed Sundays.
Enoteca Mascareta in Castello is the late-running enoteca run by Mauro Lorenzon, one of the rare 02:00 closes in Venice, with cicchetti and the daily.
OrderCicchetti, cold plates, cheese boards
TipOpens 19:00. Runs to 02:00. Walk-in. Ask Mauro for a wine flight rather than a single glass.
Bacaro Jazz near the Rialto Bridge in San Marco is the late-running jazz bar open to 02:00 with cicchetti, the canonical post-midnight wine room in San Marco.
OrderCicchetti and tapas
TipWalk-in. Tonight's jazz set is on the chalkboard at the door. Touristy but reliably late.
Vino Vero is canal-side natural-wine room on the locals' cannaregio aperitivo strip, full of venetians at 19:00 and almost no tourists who haven't been told.
TipCanal-side outside seating fills up by 19:00 in summer. Ask for the orange-wine flight from the Friulian section.
