A curated selection of the best dining options within walking distance of the hotel.
Venice's culinary scene is a treasure waiting to be explored, and our location in the Castello district puts you at the heart of some of the city's finest dining. Here are our concierge team's personal recommendations for an authentic Venetian food experience.
Traditional Restaurants
Osteria alle Testiere
Tiny, legendary seafood restaurant. Just 9 tables, no menu on the wall. Book days ahead. The tasting menu changes with the daily catch from the lagoon.
Al Giardinetto da Severino
Family-run trattoria with a hidden garden terrace. Homemade pasta, grilled fish, and one of the most romantic settings in Castello. Book the garden table.
Trattoria alla Corte
Classic Venetian trattoria in a quiet courtyard. Honest cooking, generous portions, and the kind of warm welcome that makes you feel like a regular from day one.
Al Covo
Refined Venetian cuisine with seasonal ingredients. Known for their extraordinary desserts and an impressive wine cellar. A favorite among food critics.
Paradiso Perduto
A locals' favorite for late-night dining with live music. More informal, larger portions, and a lively atmosphere. Famous for their seafood risotto.
Bacari: The Venetian Tapas Bars
No visit to Venice is complete without a bacaro tour. These traditional wine bars serve cicchetti (Venetian tapas) with a glass of ombra (local wine). The ritual is simple: stand at the counter, point at what looks good, and enjoy.
Osteria al Portego
Steps from the hotel. The cicchetti counter is legendary at lunchtime. Try the baccala mantecato and the artichoke bottoms. Arrive early or wait in line.
Cantina Do Spade
Near the Rialto market, dating back to 1488. Tiny, authentic, and always packed with locals. Their meatballs and fried sardines are the stuff of legend.
All'Arco
The best cicchetti in Venice according to many locals. Fresh ingredients from the Rialto market next door. Get there at opening time for the full selection.
Bacarando in Corte dell'Orso
Hidden in a tiny courtyard near Rialto. Creative cicchetti that go beyond tradition, excellent Veneto wines by the glass, and a charming atmosphere.
