Enoteca Al Volto

Nestled in the heart of Venice, just a stone's throw from the iconic Rialto Bridge, Enoteca Al Volto stands as a testament to the city's rich culinary heritage. Established in 1936, this historic wine bar, or 'bacaro', offers visitors an authentic Venetian experience, blending traditional flavours with a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Upon entering, guests are greeted by rustic wooden interiors and a ceiling adorned with vintage wine labels, reflecting the establishment's deep-rooted passion for viticulture. With an impressive collection of over 1,000 wines, the bar showcases both local and international selections, ensuring that every palate is catered to. The knowledgeable staff are always on hand to guide patrons through the extensive list, making recommendations to complement their chosen dishes. 

Enoteca Al Volto is renowned for its 'cicchetti'—traditional Venetian small plates. Signature offerings include the creamy 'baccalà mantecato' served on crisp polenta, and the tangy 'sarde in saor', a delightful combination of sardines marinated with onions and vinegar. For those seeking heartier fare, the menu features homemade pastas such as spaghetti alle vongole and squid ink pasta, each dish reflecting the rich culinary traditions of the lagoon. 

Beyond its culinary delights, the enoteca exudes a convivial charm. Whether you're perched at the bar with a glass of wine and a plate of cicchetti or seated at one of the coveted outdoor tables watching the world go by, the atmosphere is both relaxed and quintessentially Venetian. It's this blend of excellent food, fine wine, and genuine hospitality that has earned Enoteca Al Volto accolades from both locals and tourists alike. 

For those seeking an authentic taste of Venice, away from the typical tourist trails, Enoteca Al Volto offers an experience that's both memorable and delicious.
