Bàcari are Venice’s historic osterie: today in the Laguna one can still find some that have the same old spirit and the same noble traditions that have always made them lively
Were it all a question of the salted codfish variety, which must strictly be the Ragno one, everyone would know how to prepare an excellent baccalà mantecato [creamed salted codfish]. Matteo Pinto’s grandmother has been preparing it for decades, she soaks it for three days under running water, then boils it, creaming it with a wood ladle and a delicate extra virgin olive oil, following the traditional recipe. The creamy result is served at Osteria all’Arco (San Polo, 436), one of the best bàcari in Venice, not too far from the Rialto bridge. Bàcari are Venices’ typical osterie, where you can have the famous Cichetti, nibbles that the people from Venice eat before the meal, paired with a glass of wine.
