Cantina do Mori Review

Since 1462, this has been the local watering hole of choice in the market area; legend even pegs Casanova as a habitué. Tramezzini are the fuel of Venice -- sample them here where you're guaranteed fresh combinations of thinly sliced meats, tuna, cheeses, and vegetables, along with tapaslike cicchetti. They're traditionally washed down with an ombra. Venetians stop to snack and socialize before and after meals, but if you don't mind standing (there are no tables), for a light lunch this is one of the best of the old-time bacari left. And now that it serves a limited number of first courses, like melanzane alla parmigiana (eggplant Parmesan) and fondi di carciofi saltati (lightly fried artichoke hearts), my obligatory stop here is more fulfilling than ever.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
