“The tourists in my group advance to inspect the Pala d’Oro, the magnificent tenth-century altarpiece comprised of precious stones and gilded panels. I remain still until I am well behind the group. Then I tiptoe to the nearest exit and walk out into Piazza San Marco. Flocks of pigeons line the piazza. My stomach is grumbling, but I don’t want a heavy midday meal that will slow me down for my afternoon of exploring as much as I can of San Marco.

Following my street map, I make my way toward Calle delle Botteghe, where Trattoria da Fiore is located. Known for its cicchetti, or tapas, Trattoria da Fiore is also popular for its bacaro—a separate space apart from its main dining room reserved for patrons who wish to just have tapas and a drink. A light snack and a good glass of wine are all I’ll need to refuel and continue my sightseeing.MoreLessRead More Read Less
