Italy
The Da Fiore bacaro and restaurant on Calle delle Botteghe, just off Campo Santo Stefano is wonderful - sip an 'ombra' (red wine), 'spritz' (typical Venetian drink, with Aperol or Campari), or treat yourself to a glass or two of prosecco. Nibble some of the cicheti while sitting at the outside bar and get to know the locals who flock over from local businesses - there is always someone who'll want to talk. Make it your local for the duration of your stay!
