Sunday it seems a lot of restaurants are closed, but Bacaro are largely open. Are Bacaro all walk in only? I think a cicchetti tour sounds like a nice evening.
All good choices but I'd add, if the weather is good, don't overlook the Terrace/Deck @ the Gritti. On a nice day it's a glorious setting and the food, avoiding the obligatory touristy hamburger, has, in my experience, been quite good.
+++ on Al Covo for dinner - always enjoy eating there.
