ABOUT US

Aciugheta

 

Aciugheta was founded as a “bacaro”, the traditional and typical Venetian bar, in the early 1900, a few steps from Piazza San Marco in Venice.

In the 50s, Aciugheta became well-known for its wines (“ómbre” in Venetian slang) and for its “cichéti” (small snacks): the most famous of them was a little anchovy sandwich. In the late 70s, Gianni Bonaccorsi re-opened it, keeping the traditions of good wines and anchovy sandwiches (now a small pizza with anchovy) alive. Aciugheta is composed of two different areas: the historical part has the typical venetian floor (wood beams and stonewalls), whereas, the modern one, has the bar counter made of Red Persian Travertine, stainless steel and glass.

“CICCHETTI”

Between Classic and Modern

 

The Venetian “cicchetti” are small snacks served at the bar counter in the traditional Venetian bar, “bàcaro”. At the Aciugheta’s counter, you can taste both the traditional “cicchetti&”, such as “Sarde in saor” (sardines with onion), “Baccalà mantecato” (codfish), Meatballs, Eggs with anchovy as well as modern “cicchetti” that change with the season and inspiration. The most famous “cicchetto” of our restaurant, which has become our “flagship product”, is the “Pizzetta con l’Acciuga”, a tiny pizza with one anchovy fillet. Our “cicchetti” have to be accompanied by a glass of wine, to be chosen from a wide selection of national and international wines selected among small producers that best express the territory in which they operate.

OUR PIZZA

Light and Digestible

 

The pizza at Aciugheta is the result of a long research, aimed at making a light and easy-to-digest Pizza. For this reason, for our dough we use 100% Italian stone-ground wheat flour and a long fermentation. Ingredients are carefully selected, and for the most part they are organic. In our menu you can find both “seasonal pizzas” and “classic Italian pizzas”. Every day, we bake our bread as well, using the same flours, techniques and passion we use for our Pizza.
