Our History:
The word “Bacareto” comes from “Bacaro”, an old wine originating in Puglia.
In 1902, the De Giulios, natives of Brindisi, opened a little osteria in the S. Samuele
neighborhood. They named the restaurant “Bacareto”, the diminutive of “Bacaro”,
and managed it until 1948.
In 1971, their grandson, Emilio De Giulio, and his wife, Anna Trevisan, reopened the
osteria near it's original location and named it, once again, the “Bacareto”.
Since then, thirty-seven years have passed, and today Emilio and Anna, together with
their sons Adriano and Federico, still run the “Bacareto” with an unwavering passion
and spirit typical to the osteria.
The kitchen continues to prepare its traditional dishes of typical Venetian fare, recipes
of which the owners are very proud.
Baccalà (cod) is served in a variety of ways: mantecato (creamed), in umido (with
tomato sauce), and alla Vicentina (with anchovies, capers, onions, and parsley). Other
typical dishes include: Bigoli in salsa (wholegrain spaghetti in anchovy sauce); sarde
in saor (sardines marinated in vinegar, onions, and olive oil); seppie in nero
(cuttlefish with their ink); many different kinds of risotto; and fegato alla Veneziana
(liver and onions) with white polenta.
Wine and cicchetti (local appetizers) are also always available.
