It took us a few minutes to find this spot, down a small Calle from Campo San Bartolomeo. There is normally a crowd of youngish people out front, as well as inside. We stopped here for cichetti and a spritz. Chichetti is a venetian classic, much like tapas, consisting of small "bites" of items like fried fish patties, vegetables, cheeses, etc. A spritz is another venetian tradition - a cocktail made with Campari, an incredibly bitter liqueur. Delicious. The restaurant was fairly crowded, but the bartenders were friendly, and we grabbed a spot by the window and filled up for about 20 euros, including drinks.
