Il Ridotto
Il Ridotto is an Italian restaurant in Venice that serves traditional local cuisine in a comfortable setting. The rooms feature classic decor with warm tones and details that reflect the city's character.
The restaurant takes its name from historic ridottos, gaming rooms that were popular in 18th-century Venice and formed an important part of the city's nightlife. These rooms were places where nobility and wealthy citizens met for entertainment.
The name comes from Venice's history, where a ridotto was a private gaming room where society gathered. Today this tradition of gathering lives on through how guests dine together and use the space as a meeting place.
The restaurant is located in Venice's historic center and can be reached by gondola or on foot, as is typical for most places in the city. It helps to bring a good map or navigation app since the streets wind around, but exploring the area is part of the experience.
The name is a direct reference to the notorious gaming rooms of the past, yet the restaurant itself has no connection to gambling. It is a witty nod to Venice's history that tells guests about the city's past while they dine.

Venice is naturally suited for romantic getaways, with its winding canals, historic palaces, and squares full of history. This selection gathers places that make the city so popular among couples: Saint Mark's Square with its basilica and campanile, the Bridge of Sighs where tradition invites you to kiss in a gondola, or the quays of Fondamenta delle Zattere stretching along the Giudecca Canal. The Grand Canal, the main artery measuring 3.8 kilometers long, reveals 170 palaces built between the 13th and 18th centuries. This collection also includes characterful accommodations set within authentic Venetian residences. The Gritti Palace occupies a 15th-century palace overlooking the Grand Canal, while Ca' Bonfadini features its frescoed salons in the Cannaregio district. To extend your stay, the La Fenice Theatre offers opera performances in a restored 18th-century setting after the 1996 fire. San Giorgio Maggiore island, accessible by vaporetto, allows you to view the city from its campanile with an unobstructed perspective over the urban area.
