At Funkadeli the first stop on their new Cicchetti Tuesday tour is at Venice's famous Rialto Bridge where you can enjoy any cicchetti for only RMB10! In Venice, cicchetti is the name for the Italian version of tapas, otherwise known as stuzzichini in Southern Italy and antipasti to many Italian-Americans. Names aside, these little bites make the perfect starter, or little snack with a glass of wine or a spritz. 

Jan 29, 6pm, from RMB10. Funkadeli, see event listing
