Guidekin's take

A bacaro crawl through Cannaregio with several aperitivo stops: cicchetti, seafood, cheeses and Venetian wines and spritzes, drinks included in the price.

Guests with severe food allergies cannot join, drinking age applies, and a deal tier runs at some times. 4.86 from 1,482 reviews for 3h 30m.

In our comparison: #9 of 17 in Food & Cicchetti Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
