Everyone just calls it Caffe Rosso, for the bright red vintage front on Campo Santa Margherita — a no-nonsense Venetian bar that’s been here since the late 1800s. The 1900s interior still has its old percolator, and the terrace is prime for people-watching over a cheap spritz, a tramezzino or a plate of cicchetti. It draws a lively mix of students and regulars; grab an outdoor table in the early evening.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Venetian cicchetti & wine tour.
