Al Merca is a hole-in-the wall local bar in Venice. The wines were priced at about 3-5 euros while the crostini was about 1.50eur. If you are into reds, do try both the Ripasso (had a lot more flavour), as compared to the Valpolicella Classico...as there was less fermentation with Amarone grape skins. If you’re looking for something more casual, go for the Aperol Spritz.More

Fresh sandwiches, 1,50€ each and great wine starting from 2€ a glass. You have to stand, like in most places in Venice, but it’s worth it, even though you don’t get to sit down. Try baccala mantecato sandwich-delicious! Great place for aperitif.

While I didn’t have any food at Al Merca, I did thoroughly enjoy the very inexpensive wine. Both the Valpolicella Classico and Ripasso were excellent at only EUR 2.50 and 3.50/glass. I recommend buying a glass of wine and then stepping next door to Casa...del Parmigiano for some cheese and prosciutto to accompany your drink.More

That’s the kind of place to stop buy for a quick drink and chicchetti. Good prices, quick service, tasty chicchetti, nice location near Rialto bridge.

You have a big variety from where to choose sandwiches and drinks, all at a good price . A nice way to start your day .

Came here as a recommendation. Lovely spot to grab quick food and a drink. Staff nice. In a nice location, not far from Rialto Bridge.

Whenever we're in Venice we make a bee-line for Al Merca. On a little square next to the Rialto market it is nothing fancy, just a tiny shopfront with just enough room for two guys behind the counter and two customers inside. Most customers stand...in the square enjoying their drinks and cicchetti and why wouldn't you when a glasswork of delicious Prosecco costs just 2.50 euros and a snack only 1.50 euros. It's the perfect pit stop if you're wandering the city or even if you fancy a pre-dinner snifter and starter.More
