Cantina Do Mori

Do Mori is thought to be the oldest baraco in Venice. It is practically an institution in Venice, and has been serving local Venetians for over 500 years from its unassuming spot near the fish market. This old baraco oozes history and old world atmosphere, the dark wooden interior has copper pots and kettles that hang from the ceiling, along with a long worn wooden counter top. There is a good selection of local wines that you can try, and the cicchetti include things like stewed octopus, pickled onions with salty anchovies, polenta, and yummy crostinis displayed on the counter. So all you have to do is just point to what takes your fancy.
Do Mori features in most of the Wine and Cicchetti Venice food tours, but most of the time is still a local place popular with fishermen, and can be quite hard to find without a guide. Do Mori is tucked in an alleyway between Calle Arco and Ruga Vecchia San Giovanni, so it’s good to ask your hotel to mark it on the map or if you get lost ask a local near the Rialto Market to point you in the right direction. Just down the street are some more good baracos like All’Arco, Do Spade, Bancogiro, and Merca, so you can bar hop Venetian style down the street.
