Bar Ai Do Leoni

A great bar right next to St. Mark’s Square! We stopped by late in the evening, and although it was quite busy, we managed to find a spot at the bar and started with some Aperol Spritz and cicchetti. After a while, we were joined by a lovely couple from Ireland (sending our warm greetings!). During our conversation, we ordered a glass of red wine, and shortly after, the staff surprised us with another round of complimentary cicchetti — such a thoughtful gesture! Thank you for the wonderful experience — we definitely recommend this bar!

Very good place to eat by San Marcos. Pizza is very affordable. Good quality. Attentive staff. Seating for large and small parties. WiFi available. I had a margharita and bottle of Chianti

Cute chill bar in the middle of very touristy place. Aperol was amazing, cicchetti were amazing. Special thanks to Ricardo for great service and entertaining conversation. Definitely recommend this place and will visit next time I’m in Venice.

We stumbled upon this bar while walking near St. Mark’s Cathedral and loved it so much we came back the next day. The drinks and cicchetti were excellent, and we were really impressed by how hardworking the staff were, constantly mixing drinks and keeping the whole place running smoothly.

Delicious fresh interesting cicchetti with friendly staff. We loved the shrimp with pickled onions, fire roasted peppers, and prosciutto with mustard, and Gorgonzola with raspberry jam and capers. But the fish w lavender and onion was such a surprisingly good but unexpected taste we also appreciated. Do yourself a favor and just try them all.

We got 3 cicchetti and an aperol spritz, all for €16. It was a little pricey given that this bar is located right next to San Marco square. Unfortunately we weren’t pleased with the lack of recycling. My mother asked to dispose of a plastic water bottle, but one of the bartenders told us to throw it away in one of the garbages nearby. The cicchetti and the aperol spritz were pretty good!

It’s a beautiful Venice bacaro right next to Sr Marks square that is not touristy enough to make you uncomfortable and gives you imaginative tapas options and a very good set of wines by the glass. The cicchetti were great no mater whether it was just sheep’s cheese with pear mostarda, sausage with pesto or some crazy vegan concoction of dried, cooked and raw vegetables or Gorgonzola and anchovies. The wine was certainly good and quite reasonably priced with both classical and natural options to entertain almost every kind of a customer. The people running the show are young, cheerful, helpful and caring. I will come here at least once on my every visit to Venice.

lovely bar right off st. marks with trendy atmosphere and a variety of drinks & snacks.
