el Venexian

el Venexian is a wine bar in San Polo, down a narrow calle near Campo San Stin behind a door so discreet that most pass it before realising what it is. Cicchetti are assembled when ordered instead of waiting under glass, so the bread arrives crisp, and the wine range runs far deeper than the room would suggest. Quick visits tend to stretch into longer ones.
