Very cheap and very yummy. The place is always humming with locals. 2 euro wine, 1 euro cicchetti you just can't go wrong. Do yourself a favour and stop by for a taste of real Venice.

This is as good a place as I have found in Venice to buy and take away a bottle, from fine wines through spirits to gutsy plonk. But the extra dimension is the avilability of excellent cichetti to mop up the liquor sampled on site. There is nowhere to sit but this adds somehow to the fun, balancing tipples and plates-full of savouries and jostling among the inevitable crowd who can;t get enough of the eperience. Don't miss it. You won't find its like anywhere else

People who say you can't eat good food cheaply in Venice can't have been here. Was there last week and we had 4 glasses of wine, 5 ciccheti and one panini - 16 Euros for everything. You'd be pushed to buy the glasses of wine in UK for that, the quality was excellent and the staff so trusting that when I came to pay the bill they asked me what we had had.

We visited this place, also known as "Al Bottegon" twice during our stay. It is a wine shop with a bar and wonderful cichetti a few minutes from the Accademia bridge. Our first visit was late one rainy afternoon after visiting the Accademia, when we filled up on 2 rounds of 6 cichetti and 2 glasses of wine for 12 Euros per round. Our 2nd visit was an aperitivo stop off on our way out to dinner. There is an amazing array of cichetti on display, all of which are labelled in Italian. These are replenished frequently and so are very fresh. They close for a couple of hours mid afternoon and reopen at 4.30 so the best times to go are early lunchtime or before the spritz crowd arrive in the evening to snaffle the best cichetti. Definitely recommended.
