Al Nono Risorto, Italian restaurant near Palazzo Mocenigo, Venice, Italy
Al Nono Risorto is an Italian restaurant in Venice with an outdoor courtyard that includes garden seating areas. The space combines traditional Venetian cooking with surroundings that set it apart from most other dining venues in the city.
The name comes from 'nono', a small fish species native to the Venetian Lagoon. This choice connects the restaurant to fishing practices that have defined the region for centuries.
The menu draws from traditional Venetian cooking, with dishes like salt cod and sardines prepared using recipes passed down through generations. These dishes reflect how local food has always been shaped by the lagoon and what it offers.
The courtyard can be accessed directly from the main entrance, making the garden areas easy to reach without navigating multiple levels. Those seeking a quieter setting away from street noise should plan to dine in the outdoor spaces where the garden setting provides a calmer experience.
The name carries a double meaning: it refers to a local fish species but also to Venetian dialect where 'nono' can mean something smaller or modest. This linguistic layer adds a playful authenticity that most visitors overlook when ordering from the menu.
