The word "bacaro," for the small bars this tour hops between, is newer than the tradition itself — it only came into use after Venice joined the Italian state in 1866, borrowed from Venetian dialect for making noise or having a good time. The bars themselves go back much further: by the 1300s, more than twenty of them already clustered around the Rialto Bridge, serving wine by the "ombra," a small glass whose name most likely just means a scant, modest pour.
Cicchetti, the bar snacks that go with it — fried seafood, boiled eggs with sardine, bread topped with bacalà — probably take their name from the Latin "ciccus," a small quantity, which is exactly the point: a few bites at each stop rather than a sit-down meal. Doing this in Cannaregio instead of the Rialto puts you in Venice's largest and most residential sestiere, where bacari still mostly serve neighbors rather than visitors, and where a host who actually drinks here regularly can steer the order toward what's good that particular day.
