Our final bacaro was Al Portego. Incredibly busy (understandably so) but Monica managed to order our 'ombre' and cicchetti by fighting her way to the bar.
Monica chose a pumpkin saor & a salmon ciccheti - both so delicious that I forgot the photo! This was definitely the winning bacaro for atmosphere.
Between bacaro, Monica pointed out artisan shops such as this costumiers which makes theatrical & carnival costumes to original patterns.
We stopped by Il Forcolaio Matto- a workshop where the oars and oarlocks for gondolas are made. Such beautiful craftsmanship and a wonderful smell of wood shavings.
At the end of the evening Monica pointed us in the direction of St Marks Square and we said our goodbyes, feeling like we had made a friend in Venice.
