Ai Do Leoni

Casual barLocals' pick

A San Marco address that looks like a tourist trap and is not: owner Gianluigi Wahba turned a long-time bar into a contemporary bacaro with bubble-gum orb lights, creative cicchetti, Veneto natural wines and craft beer, and in the evening the crowd, Venetians included, spills into the narrow street.

Good to know

  • Order the Egiziano, a foam-topped riff on the Americano named for the owner's Egyptian roots (Condé Nast Traveller).
  • No table service: drink at the counter or outside, the classic street-bar way (VeneziaToday).
  • Liveliest in the late afternoon.
