Ristorante Al Bacaro — Piazza Garibaldi
Sitting minutes from the Prosecco DOC hills, Asolo is the perfect place to drink the real thing — not the industrial export version — alongside proper Venetian cicchetti. Al Bacaro on Piazza Garibaldi does exactly this, with a short, honest menu built around local ingredients and a wine list that reads like a tour of the Treviso hills.
What to Order
Start with a glass of Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG — the local appellation is distinct from the broader Prosecco DOC and noticeably more complex — paired with crostini topped with local soppressa salami or creamy baccalà mantecato, the whipped salt-cod spread that is the backbone of Venetian bar food.
For a full meal, the bigoli in salsa (thick whole-wheat pasta with anchovy and onion) is a regional classic done properly here, and the grilled radicchio di Treviso with Monte Veronese cheese is a revelation if you've never had radicchio treated as a serious vegetable.
The Piazza Ritual
Eating or drinking on Piazza Garibaldi with a view of the 16th-century Loggia del Capitano is one of those simple Italian pleasures that no amount of travel writing can fully prepare you for — it simply has to be experienced.
The square is small enough to feel intimate but lively enough at aperitivo hour (6–8 pm) that you'll find yourself staying for a second glass, then a third, watching the evening light turn the stone facades gold.
