Venice Restaurant – Bacaro Jazz

How many restaurants are there in Venice? Hard to count, but considering that more than 3.5 million tourists visit Venice every year, you can easily imagine that the restaurant business in Venice can be very profitable, hence the huge market. Venice restaurants originally specialized only in seafood cuisine, but have now differentiated to include an eclectic variety of offerings; from Chinese to Indian restaurants, passing through the fashionable nouvelle cooking, Arab and Japanese cuisine, Venice tries to resemble the great metropolis where you can find all kinds of food;

Of all the Restaurants in Venice, Bacaro Jazz is probably the most original and innovative; together with one of the latest and best open kitchens in Venice, guarantees excellent satisfaction for every customer. Open since December 1997, Alfredo, Nicole and staff have made Bacaro Jazz one of Venice’s must-see restaurants and attractions; Over the years, the restaurant has continuously renovated the kitchen and the decoration of the restaurant; once it opened, it looked like a typical Venetian “trattoria”, where locals drank “ombre” (glasses of house wine) and ate “cicchetti” (Venetian tapas appetizers); the owner Alfredo had another idea for the place and through continuous improvements and revolutions of the Menu and decoration, today it has one of the best Venetian and international cuisines in Venice recommended by the most prestigious travel and restaurant guides;

The restaurant and cocktail bar is open from 4 pm to 3 am and features the last open kitchen in Venice; the Bacaro Jazz menu offers a delicious smorgasbord of local dishes; some of the highlights are Saor and salt cod, Venetian-style pasta and beans with boiled salami and cuttlefish in black ink sauce with polenta; It also offers International Cuisine in which the raw beef carpaccio with balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese, the red chicory tagliatelle with duck sauce and aromatic herbs and the white sea bass fillet wrapped in raw ham in tomato sauce with stewed onion stand out. Don’t forget to accompany your meal with a good bottle of wine; you can choose from a Brunello di Montalcino to a tasty Valpolicella for red or a fresh Malvasia if you choose white wine;

Happy hour begins at 4:00 pm and guests can sample two from a great selection of long drinks and cocktails for the price of one. At Bacaro Jazz you can enjoy the fabulous Frabellini drink, the traditional Bellini with a sweet addition of Fragolino; when the shadows begin to cover the city this bar in Venice begins to fill its high chairs and the chattering customers will order a Mojito cocktail, a Coffee Martini, the homemade “Sex & Sax” and a wide variety of spirits and long drinks; for couples who want some privacy, they will sit down since the restaurant opens its doors to the bar from 11 pm;

The jazz music filling the air couldn’t be more appropriate for this late-night restaurant in Venice; dim lights, table candles and wall posters of the greatest jazz masters, give Bacaro Jazz a unique and memorable atmosphere; the decor is truly unique, drawings and customer testimonials adorn the walls; but if you look up at the ceiling you’ll see something like 500 bras dangling! There are several myths about how the “let yourself hold” started, if you’re lucky, Alfredo will share the secret with you; now, every time a customer drops off a bra, they get a very nice t-shirt that says “I left my bra at Bacaro Jazz and I only have this t-shirt left.”
