An "ombra" is Venetian dialect for a small glass of house wine, traditionally drunk standing up at a bacaro — a small, no-frills bar — rather than seated at a table. One popular story claims wine sellers near St. Mark's bell tower used to keep their carts in the tower's shade to protect the wine from the sun, and "going for an ombra" came to mean grabbing a glass; a less romantic but more likely explanation is that "ombra" also just means a small or scant amount, which is roughly how much wine actually fills the glass.
Cicchetti, the snacks that go with it, probably take their name from the Latin "ciccus," meaning a small quantity — fitting, since they're eaten standing, by hand, in a bite or two: meatballs, fried squid, baby octopus, boiled egg with sardine, bread topped with bacalà. Bacari themselves go back further than the name does — there were more than 20 clustered around the Rialto Bridge by the 1300s, though the word "bacaro" only came into use after 1866, borrowed from Venetian dialect for "to make noise" or "to party."
