We do love Cicchetti and some bar-hopping. And this is a new place we've discovered this time around in Venice. Location is very nice, right at a pretty trendy canal, filled with lots of restaurants and bars. Right next to is an excellent gelato place. It's quite small inside with few tables, many just hang around outside - and why not, the location at the canale is a pretty spot. We did manage though to get some seats inside. Our Bulldog was very welcome here as well. The various cicchetti are presented at the counter. There are some classics of course, but also some very innovative creations. We went for the latter. There was gorgonzola with strawberry, radicchio with brie cheese, pesto topped with an anchovie and mushrooms, mashed fava beans with pulp and mashed fava with goats cheese and a cherry. All really wonderful combinations. Our favorite were the radicchio and the fava/goat cheese. Surely something to recreate back home. Staff was very friendly, we felt very welcome here. And instead of focussing on Aperol, Select and Prosecco, it's mostly about white and red wine here. And they have an excellent selection of wine. Not all cheap, but definitely worth the money. We especially loved the Pinot Nero "Terre di Giotto". A brillant cicchetti bar. Definitely a place we come back to next time in Venice. read more

We wanted to try this place given the high reviews and seeing so many groups of people outside. We stood in queue for a few minutes. The guy serving our wine was not friendly. Maybe he was having an off night. He asked what we wanted to try. He'd pour a tasting and then roll his eyes and wander off, bring his friends their charged phones from the back, and then just look at us. Such a shame, we had hoped for a better experience. We found many other places in this area that we loved and enjoyed their wine. Such a cool hip local area. read more

A hip wine bar with great energy and young crowd. Their chicettis were 10/10. Nicely toasted with lots of cool flavors. Wines were also great; they mainly focus on natural wines. One downside is how small the space is. Completely packed most of the time with only a few outdoor tables for seatings so be prepared to stand and eat. read more

Came here on recommendation from the front desk worker at our hotel and we LOVED this stop! The wine was excellent, the small bites were so fresh and the workers were extremely friendly. We wished we stopped back here one more time before we left, but we definitely will come back next trip!! read more

This place is really quite special and it was one of the best things we did in Venice. There's a small wait to get to the counter, which ends up being fine because you realize the reason is that the people behind the counter care about taking their time with each patron. She asked what we liked, what we were looking for, explained the wines, let us taste. The wines themselves were delicious and we could have stayed here all day drinking just these. You can tell the staff is super passionate about what they do and the selection changes often because everything is smaller batch, so I could imagine going back here over and over to discover new things. We were lucky to grab a table outside just by the water and it was such a pleasant afternoon activity. Grabbed two cicchetti, prawn & roast beef, and to our surprise they were actually some of the tops of the day. Cannot recommend this place enough for an afternoon glass of wine. read more

Such a charming wine bar! It's the perfect place to grab a bite of cicchetti and a glass of wine. The staff is always happy to make a pairing recommendation and the lively community feel to the bar is perfect for people watching. Getting a table can be difficult late into the evening but I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

We saw Vino Vero recommended on social media so we tried it. We were not disappointed. The best crostini that we had during our 2 weeks in Italy. The staff was also very helpful in suggesting delicious wine to pair with our food. It was so good, we visited all 3 days we were in Venice! read more

A must go spot if you are in Venice ! I walked out of my way several times to have wine and tapas here . So goood . Definitely busier on Saturday than Friday afternoon :) getting a chair on the patio is lovely :) read more

Loved this place! You can definitely tell it's the local hang out spot for ciccheti time! We got 3 crostinis, the one with pate was our favorite. Beware of the birds, one swooned down and snatched a crostini off our plate as soon as we stepped outside. The staff was very kind and replaced it without us even asking, we even told them it wasn't necessary and they still did it. Bc it was busy, we had a sit on the ground and let our let's hung over in to canal. Quite romantic read more

I don't know HOW people are able to come to Vino Vero and eat bruschetta. It's soooo packed! Met up with a few friends who had bought a bottle of wine, so all I had to do was grab a wine glass from the bartender. Pretty cool that we could sit on a nearby bridge and drink. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I've already recommended someone to come here on their Venice trip, and they did! Would go out of my way to visit this area (and Vino Vero) again. read more

We came here for dinner at the recommendation of our airbnb host and, while it was alright, I left feeling like it's a bit overrated. Sure, the location is cool, the food is authentic, and it has seating right next to the water -- but it's a bit overpriced for what it is (I'd have to eat a bunch of cicchitti to even come close to full). The service was stand-off-ish. Not rude, necessarily, but definitely not helpful. The young lady working the counter seemed annoyed at tourists in general, and though she spoke English just fine, she wouldn't explain things to us or gave very short, inconclusive answers when we asked questions about the wines or the cicchitti. I did my best to speak Italian to her, hoping it would make the service better, but I was met with the same annoyed responses. I don't know... if I was rating the food and wine alone, I'd give it 4 stars, but the service was disappointing. read more

By far the best cicchetti that we have had in Venice. We have been to at least 5 cicchetterias, but this spot has the most thoughtful flavor pairings and selections. Standing room only. No Spritz! 3 shelves to select from...meat, vegetarian, fish. All excellent. read more

Great wine selection by the glass (like being at a dozen different vineyard wine tastings from all over Europe) and cicchetti (theirs are bruschetta style, slices of Italian bread with different toppings - seafood/fish, meat or veggies). Nice outside seating along a canal. They do have beer if you have a non-wine drinker in your party, but they do not have spritz (Venetian aperitif.) read more

What a wonderful but tiny wine bar. The wine was great and priced right. The small bites were also equally as tasty. While I was there various locals came in and out conversing with what I thought was the owner but was actually the owner of another bar who was refurbishing his place this week. The music flowed out of the open door inviting people with refreshingly good reggae music. Nice change if pace from everywhere else if been so far. I had a glass of the wine which the owners made from Tuscany. Also a bruschetta with an anchovy on top. It was sweet but salty. Great pair with my red wine somehow. Maybe my head is full of wine and the city at the moment. The location is great, off the beaten path a bit and with a cozy view of a quiet canal. There isn't too much more which needs to be said about Vino-Vero. If you're looking for a quaint wine bar, you've found it. read more

Well priced wine by the glass (or bottles to go) and bruschetta style bites. A perfect place to get out of the sun and spend an hour (or two). Very crowded at night, mid-afternoon or early evening is the best time to give it a try. read more

My friend and I came here recently while taking a Row Venice tour, and enjoyed ourselves so much that we made a point of returning. The venue is remarkably small and very cozy, with a few additional seats outside as well. Tip: Despite Vino Vero's diminutive size, their wine list is amazingly large and robust, with many different varietals available, and a good cross-section of price points as well. During our most recent evening visit, we spent a good block of time here, and tried a number of different wines. In fact, we stayed late enough (approximately 11pm) that they stopped charging for Cicchetti because it was too late to sell them. Those turned out to be a very good thing, as we devoured quite a variety of them, and most were totally delicious! Vino Vero is more than a little out of the way, and it's in a totally non-touristy area. On both my visits, I found the staff to be very professional and efficient, though my command of Italian is such that communication was sometimes challenging. Despite this, I found that when the restaurant wasn't too busy, I got some excellent wine recommendations. Bottom line: The combination of delicious Cicchetti, great service, and a truly inspirational wine list makes for a great dining experience - highly recommended! read more

This was perhaps my favorite find in all of Venice. We stumbled upon it while walking aside a canal, and decided to stop in for a snack and glass of wine. The toasts were beautiful, and I was pleasantly surprised that they toasted them up for us as we ordered - the result was melty, cheesy perfection. The wine was reasonably priced, and we each liked the glasses we had. Though this is definitely a spot tourists find (us being the case in point), there was also a good mix of locals, which I appreciated. Good mix of outdoor and indoor seating, too. read more

If I lived in Venice, this place would become my regular bar. It's that good. Located on Fondamenta Misericordia in delightful Cannaregio, this ombra and cicchetti bar excells in the details... which is all that matters, really. Opening at 11 in the morning, and staying open until the small hours, it's perfect for a mid-morning snack, lunch, aperitif or dinner. The star of the show here are organic wines, including some unfiltered local favourites and crisp varieties of prosecco. The cichetti were the best I've tasted in Venice, no little thanks to the use of wholemeal bread - soft and flavourful (obviously baked that morning). From anchovy and leek to stuffed miniature peppers on a cream of spring vegetables, the toppings were also sweet and succulent. The place is delighful inside, with arthouse photography and a wall dedicated to the wine list (painted with blackboard paint). Benches and high stools facilitate perching. Of course, from springtime onwards the action moves to the canalside - did I mention it has unparalleled waterside views? Aided by the cool, hipster ambiance along this section of canal, it's the place to while away summer evenings. read more

As other reviews have pointed out, this place is pretty hipster. So cute on the inside! The wine list is written on a chalkboard on the back wall. The staff were friendly enough - we just ordered a glass of wine each. The cicchetti was beautifully displayed in a case by the bar. I yearned to try some, but could not identify any gluten free options, and unfortunately, the hubs wasn't interested at the time. Limited seating on the inside - though would be nice to take advantage of outside seating on a nice day. It was an ugly rainy day when we were there. Worth a stop in if you are passing by! read more

We stopped in at 5:30 pm for cicheti and a glass of wine. The place seems to be popular with locals, and it's nice to be in a neighborhood that isn't as touristy as much of Venice is. The wine was fine but the selection of cicheti was limited to a few kinds of bruschetta-like hits d'oeuvres: bread with ham and cheese, bread with bacala (salted codfish purée); bread with beef and arugula. Nice outdoor seating by a canal. It did the trick but I'd hoped for more variety. read more

Great Crostini small bites selection constantly in rotation. 6 or so options of red/white/rose/sparkling, and host (although coming off a bit short/irritated at first--like you should probably know what you want when you order and save questions for another spot) spoke English so was able to offer a recommendation and a sip first before selecting, which was appreciated. Intimate (read: limited) outdoor seating with water views. Hipster chic + istagramable spot to hit before/after dinner. read more

Great place to stop, sometimes. I would recommend having hors d'oeuvres and wine while the sun is setting before dinner. I stuck with white wine but my husband had the red and it was a beautiful setting. However, the second time here the people were ignoring us completely and I didn't enjoy the experience at all, it ruined our last night in Venice. read more

Avery hip and expensive place for the elite of Venice. The wine is good but over priced and therefore way too expensive. The service is terrible. Very arrogant and if you do not have the right look they give you that teenage look; 'What are you doing here... ' When you get over that and get to enjoy and overcome all the 'theater', they just take your almost empty glass without asking if you want anything else. It was not even empty! On top of all that,... when I asked for a second glass of the same wine. Yes, they only have 1 bottle of each wine. So move! We have no more... oh yes... I only got half a glass. Out of height and giving you the feeling like you're definitely not welcome. As a wine bar and as a professional, you should be able to assess your wines and give the costumers all They need; a smile and friendly service? In short, a very hip and expensive place for the elite of Venice. It's just a wine bar with no history and a ready to become a chain. No authenticity. They use and therefore abuse the beautiful place they have occupied in a very present way. Venezia non e Disneyland! read more

Loved this little wine bar. They also have some regular mixed drinks, beer and cichetti (small bites). The ambiance was nice and modern and the crowd was fun. Lots of Italians. The bartenders were very nice. I asked for a mineral-y wine in broken Italian and they definitely delivered. I would definitely return and when I do, I'll bring my husband, a wine lover/quasi connoisseur. read more

Well worth a visit. They have a good selection of small bites to go with the wine - you could easily make a small dinner out of the selections. Very down to earth and friendly. I had a glass each of two different reds, both of which were excellent. If you want to continue the evening, walk west along the Rio de Misericordia canal - there's quite a few more lively bars and restaurants worth visiting. The mix on this street in June was both locals and a few lucky tourists who ventured away from Piazza San Marco. read more

Good americano! He has no problem adding some steamed milk into it to make it a bigger size!

Lovely place to have a glass of wine and delicious bruschetta! The lady was very knowledgeable about wines and helped us pick some amazing wine to taste. She described them spot on. The bruschetta are Orginal types, I wanted to go back to try more. The place turns into a fun hang out in the late evening!! read more

Great little wine bar with an excellent selection of organic wines. They also made us up some delicious panini from our choice of ingredients.
