San Polo, one of Venice's oldest and most vibrant districts, is a fantastic spot for cicchetti—the city's beloved small bites,thanks to its authentic charm and rich culinary tradition. Nestled around the bustling Rialto Market, the district is home to some of the best bàcari (Venetian wine bars), where locals and visitors alike gather to savor a glass of wine with flavorful snacks like baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor... The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, offering a true taste of everyday Venetian life. The group will visit a few places in this area

We will visit this nice area called Castello during the tour. It offers a laid-back, authentic culinary experience that makes its food scene truly special. As the largest and most residential sestiere, Castello is less touristy than other areas, allowing local flavors to shine in family-run trattorias and hidden bars. The blend of historic charm, peaceful canals, and genuine local fare makes eating in Castello feel like discovering a delicious secret tucked away from the crowds.
