Went today for a quick bite. If you want to be the only tourist in this authentic Venetian sandwich shop come in. Located down a side street Calle delle Rasse is this little non pretentious hole in the wall. It has about eight tables. Come in order your drinks and small tapa sized sandwiches and sit. When you are ready to leave go back up and pay. Location is ideal as it is around the corner from the Doge's Palace and an excellent spot to relax away from the maddening St Marks crowds. The price is reasonable--as it caters to locals--as we spent about 20 euros for 6 finger sandwiches and 2 sodas.

Amazing sandwiches and inexpensive drinks! When half of the clientele are Gondoliers and other locals, you can't go wrong. The spritz drink is not too sweet, the tuna and other sandwiches are really yummy.

(You would've thought USA vs Italy would've attracted more local attention.) SL was a tiny place, but thankfully mostly empty; we plopped ourselves down and ordered some cold beers (pilsner for me, it being a hot afternoon). They had a decent beer list here - several standard styles from the British isles. I noted they also had some locally made brews (I didn't try them) plus Guinness (a necessity for such a place). The vibe wasn't very Irish beyond the decor and dark interior. The bartender was playing some euro pop on the sound system. Snacks were offered - mostly bread rolls, small sandwiches, and cuts off some oblong pizzas. We sampled a few of the latter to go with our beers. (They were OK.) As for the volleyball, the USA got spanked. Thankfully no celebration from the other side; most of the other patrons were either Americans or Brits. And the Italian bartender didn't seem to care. It's not clear why so many previous patrons have awarded a full 5 stars for SL. (Vacation glee?) For us it met a basic need but was priced high for tourists. I'll give them three stars, plus one extra for offering the game.

All'Arco is for us still the gold standard when it comes to Cicchetti. But there are some also very…read moreexcellent Cicchetti places in town. And this is definitely one of them! Plenty of table outside to watch the world go by - mostly pretty full, but there are always some guests coming and going. A quick wait does the trick. Got a good table and ordered our Cicchetti inside. They do table service here, so you won't carry your Cicchetti out on your own. A nice little service, not even coperto is charged. Despite being a very busy place, the waiting staff does a great job. Got some cicchetti with sardines, radicchio, bacalau/cream, bacalau with sour onions and raisins and also shrimp with sour onions and raisins. The latter two sound adventerous, but were excellent. A fantastic combination of flavors. Sweet and sour. All cicchetti were really tasty, nice combinations, very creative. Ingredients of high quality. The white wine went well with them. Had also some meatballs with. Decent, but not great. But the cicchetti definitely were. Prices are fair as well. Surely must-visit if you're into cicchetti (and wine). Nice place, nice setting. Surely we'll be back.

So yummy! We had to try cicchetti in Venice, and found this spot to visit. There were a ton of…read morepeople here, and had to wait a little bit for some tables to clear to accommodate us. I got the codfish, octopus, squid, and ham cicchettis - all of which were delicious! The codfish was a classic, and a classic done so well. It was so creamy and smooth but flavorful without being too fishy either - loved it! The octopus was served on top of some hummus and was interesting, while the ham one was a classic. The squid was really good too, as it was warm and cooked in a tomato sauce - so flavorful! We really enjoyed sampling a variety of them and I can definitely see the appeal of these in Venice!
