Enjoy Cicchetti: Affordable Venetian Tapas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere is only one essential secret: avoid the typical tourist areas and places and go to the more down-to-earth part of town. <\/strong>In the past we had already accompanied you to discover Venice’s “bacari”<\/u><\/a>, great places to eat as the locals do. Today we want to add a few suggestions: to eat inexpensively, you can go for cicchetti<\/strong>, small appetizers or snacks similar to Spanish tapas<\/strong> to go with a good glass of wine, and offered at affordable prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTwo top places to sample cicchetti are Osteria al Ponte<\/strong> and Bacareto da Lele<\/strong>. At Osteria al Ponte, you can enjoy crostini and tastings for just \u20ac2,<\/strong> while Bacareto da Lele offers mini sandwiches for \u20ac1<\/strong> and glasses of wine for as little as 80 cents. <\/strong>These spots deliver on both quality and price, ensuring a true Venetian experience without overspending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Dove](\"https:\/\/blog.italotreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Dove-mangiare-a-Venezia-spendendo-poco-Bacareto-da-Lele.jpg\")
