Frommer's 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.
