- ★Cicchetti are small-portioned snacks designed for grazing across multiple bars; pace yourself to enjoy the full experience without overindulging early
- ★Arrive with an appetite but not ravenous; the tour builds throughout rather than loading you up at the first stop
- ★Ask your guide for recommendations on lesser-known bacari off the main tourist paths for the most authentic finds
