E Rosa Salva

One of the favorites is the mini-chain "E Rosa Salva", with three locations in the center - on C. Fiubera (from Piazza San Marco, take the underpass in the middle of the arcade, cross the bridge and take second right off C. Fabbri), Merceria S. Salvadore (off the campo of the same name), and right on Campo San Zanipolo (to the right of the church looking from the canal); the last one is a gelateria as well. For your €1 you'll get exactly 2 and a half sips at the bottom of a small cup, with rich crema and no bitterness. Assorted house-made sweets are €1.10.

DrinkCannaregio
Al Parlamento
Another small bar, away from the main tourist arteries. Serves spritz, cocktails and beer with a view of the Cannaregio canal.
€6 for cocktails
DrinkSanta Croce
Bacareto da Lele
A Venetian institution that's been around since 1968. This minuscule bar serves cheap wine, a small glass is just one euro, and excellent cichetti to go along. Queuing is the norm, but the bartenders are very quick and you'll be served in no time. A great place to rub shoulders with the real Venetians.
DrinkSan Marco
Caffè Florian
On the extravagant side there is Caffè Florian, on Piazza San Marco. It claims to be the oldest coffee house still in operation, established in 1720. The interior is about a century newer, and brings an exclusive setting for a cup of coffee, even if sitting outside overlooking the entire piazza and its surroundings may be a better choice on a nice summer day. The café has its own outdoor orchestra playing an assortment of Italian music. Just sitting down at the table costs €6 per seat (for the orchestra it says on the menu) and the rest on the menu is at least twice the price you would have paid at home. Light lunch or dinner 12:00-15:00, 19:30-22:00, afternoon tea 15:09-18:00, great choice of semifreddo (parfaits) (€14), lemon ice cream with soda (€15), great choice of tea and coffee specialities; espresso €6.50. music charge €6.

Cantine del Vino gia Schiavi
Vini il Cantinone
Inventive and delicious cicchetti; pile a plate with what you like, and the staff will pour you a glass of wine to match the selection. If it's too crowded inside, step out and find a space by the canal. A large and carefully curated selection of wines and spirits for purchase by the bottle. Joseph Brodsky, the American Nobel Prize winning poet and essayist, buried on San Michele, was a regular anytime he came to Venice.
