Il Ridotto
About
Il Ridotto sits in the historic Castello district of Venice, just a few steps from Piazza San Marco and the San Zaccaria public boat stop. Chef Niccolò Bonaccorsi leads a menu that blends traditional Venetian flavour with innovative techniques, creating both a sea‑tasting and a sea‑and‑land tasting experience. With a focus on high‑quality ingredients—tiger prawns, sea urchins, lamb, and locally sourced cheeses—maids of all ages will find something enchanting in the carefully crafted courses. The intimate dining room, with its warm lighting and exquisite table service, offers an almost exclusive feel while remaining open during the whole week, except for a full‑day closing on Wednesday. Customers can enjoy the meticulously curated tasting menus from 12 pm to 1:45 pm or 7 pm to 9:45 pm, with a 24‑hour cancellation policy that gives guests flexibility and a €50+ penalty for no‑shows. Whether visiting for a culinary adventure or a special occasion, Il Ridotto delivers an unforgettable Venetian dining experience.
