Il mercante

Between Venice Santa Lucia Station and Piazza San Marco, in the center of Venice, stands a hallmark of cocktail mixing in the city, led by bar manager Alessandro Zampieri and his business partners Mattia Beninati and Nicolò Bertelli. The cocktails aim to highlight all alcoholic bases, with no distinction and the help of homemade ingredients created through distillations and fermentations and territorial specialties hard to find outside the area. Two examples? Barena honey and Sant’Erasmo artichokes.
