Il Caffe Rosso (The Red Bar) is an unmistakable historic Venetian bar which dates back to the late 19th century, when it was established by a retiring sailor.

You cannot miss this bar – its bright red façade can be seen from a distance and there is usually a large crowd of fans seated at the pavement tables.

The caffe has always attracted a bohemian crowd of students and artists and these days tourists flock to the little bar to soak up the atmosphere. You can enjoy a variety of drinks as well as light meals including crostini, sandwiches, tramazzini and more. Il Caffe Rosso is open from Monday to Saturday.
