Guidekin's take

An evening of six cicchetti and a sweet with prosecco, three dry regional wines including a natural one and a dessert wine, in bars chosen for the food rather than the view.

The guide waits ten minutes and no longer, and vegetarian plates need notice. 4.94 from 157 reviews for 3h.

In our comparison: #7 of 17 in Food & Cicchetti Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
