Osteria dal Riccio Peoco

Osteria Dal Riccio Peoco is a charming and authentic bacaro bar in Venice’s Dorsoduro area. A local favourite, it offers an atmospheric spot where tourists can experience true Venetian conviviality. 

Atmosphere & Ambience
This cosy corner bar radiates warmth thanks to its intimate, rustic interior and friendly service. It often spills into the square outside, with locals and visitors mingling under the Italian sky. Live music, occasionally nostalgic ’80s tunes or karaoke nights add to the laid‑back vibe. Although the space inside is limited, the social chemistry makes standing at the bar or on the terrace an integral part of the experience.

Food & Drinks
Osteria Dal Riccio Peoco specialises in cicchetti—Venetian small plates perfect with a drink. Expect delicious crostini topped with baccalà mantecato (creamed cod), arancini, polpette (meatballs), and cuttlefish. A standout is its signature “panino scrocchio”—a crisp croissant filled with garlic, milk and salame marinated in red wine. Prices are friendly, ideal for leisurely grazing.

Drinks menu
Their wine list showcases Veneto classics: Soave, Pinot Grigio, and even sweet Fragolino. Prosecco is available too, and the bar serves classic Italian spritzes—choose from Campari, Aperol or Cynar varieties. For a light and refreshing option, go for the iconic Venetian spritz and soak up the local ritual.
