Osteria Il Paradiso Perduto, Italian restaurant in Cannaregio, Venice, Italy.
Osteria Il Paradiso Perduto is an Italian restaurant in Cannaregio featuring exposed brick, mismatched floor tiles, and white wood paneling on the ceiling. It offers generous seafood platters in a casual and informal setting.
Founded in the 1980s by university students including Maurizio Adamo, it took over a space that once housed a rowing club. The restaurant has remained in operation since that time.
The restaurant serves as a live music venue in the evenings, drawing locals and visitors who come for both food and performances. This dual role has made it a gathering place where dining and artistic expression blend naturally.
Located on Fondamenta della Misericordia, the restaurant is accessible by foot and situated in one of Venice's older neighborhoods with narrow passages and bridges. Opening times vary by day, so it is worth confirming before visiting.
The menu changes daily based on the availability of fresh seafood from Venice's fish market. A house specialty is gran fritoin, a fried fish dish served with white polenta.
