Cicchetti at Cantina Do Mori. Cicchetti are Venetian tapas—finger foods such as calamari rings, speared fried olives, potato croquettes, and grilled polenta squares, traditionally washed down with an ombra (shadow), a small glass of wine.
Venice has countless cafes and neighborhood bars called bacari where you can order a selection of cicchetti, a panino (sandwich on a roll), or a toast (grilled ham-and-cheese sandwich).
All of the above will cost about €1–€2 if you stand at the bar, or as much as double that if you sit at a table.
Since 1462, one of the best places to head for classic cicchetti in a gorgeous environment—rumor has it Casanova nibbled here—is in San Polo at Cantina do Mori. 
There are loads more in this neighborhood, so just wander and seek them out.
In the Dorsoduro neighborhood, Enoteca Cantinone Già Schiavi offers not only a broad selection of €1 cicchetti and inexpensive glasses of vino under a beamed ceiling, but also a few dozen wines under €10 a bottle so you can take un'ombra home with you.
