Bacarando in Corte dell'Orso

About

Bacarando in Corte dell’Orso is a quintessential Venetian restaurant located in a historic courtyard in the heart of Venice. The family‑run establishment traces its roots back to the 1400s, evolving from a simple inn into the modern dining venue you can visit today. From 11:30 am until midnight, seven days a week (closed only for the Feast of Christmas Lunch on December 25), guests can enjoy an Italian menu that blends traditional lagoon specialties with contemporary twists. The kitchen stays open tirelessly, stirring up fresh seafood, premium cuts of Chianina beef, and a vegetarian selection. The bar hosts a curated collection of more than 700 spirits, 100 bottles of wine, and signature cocktails, while the lively patio invites diners for al fresco meals under the Venetian sky. An integral part of the Bacarando experience is its cicchetteria—small, savory Venetian tapas that pair naturally with a glass of wine. The restaurant also offers live music every Wednesday and Sunday from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm, providing a romantic and atmospheric backdrop for dinner. Bacarando’s welcoming ambience, attentive service, and genuine culinary heritage make it a must‑visit for anyone looking to taste the best of Venetian cuisine while immersed in centuries‑old architecture.
