Al Mercà

the secret:

Tiny Bacaro

There’s almost no seating - just two small benches, but that’s all part of the experience. The real Venetian way is to enjoy a quick bite standing, chatting, and hopping from one bacaro to another.

LOCATION

Al Mercá is a tiny bacaro just steps from the Rialto Bridge, yet somehow it keeps a local, tucked-away feel. Beloved by Venetians, it’s the kind of place where you grab a glass of wine for just a few euros and pair it with cicchetti that are simple, fresh, and delicious. Small, crowded, and full of life, this little spot is pure Venetian spirit.
