Al Giardinetto da Severino
About
Located in the historic Castello district of Venice, Al Giardinetto da Severino opens its doors to visitors in the grand Palazzo Zorzi, a 15‑century edifice designed by Mauro Codussi. The restaurant has been a culinary landmark since 1949, offering a menu steeped in traditional Venetian cuisine with fresh seafood, classic risotto, and a selection of regional wines. Its elegant interior—once a family chapel—features vaulted ceilings and frescoed details that transport diners to the opulent past of the city. Guests can enjoy a relaxed lunch in the picturesque inner garden, shaded by a private vineyard, or a more intimate dinner in the ornate dining rooms. The venue is also favored for private celebrations, weddings, and corporate events thanks to its charming courtyard and historic ambience. Every dish is prepared with ingredients sourced from the lagoon and surrounding islands, ensuring a taste that is both authentic and seasonal. Beyond its culinary reputation, the restaurant is recognized by the Italian Association of Celiac Patients, offering a dedicated gluten‑free menu and stringent allergen controls. With two opening periods each day—mid‑day and evening—Al Giardinetto da Severino invites diners to experience a slice of Venetian history paired with gastronomic excellence.
