Ristorante Principessa

About

Ristorante Principessa invites you to experience the heart of Venice through its elegant Venetian cuisine and authentic ambience. Nestled on the historic Riva degli Schiavoni, the restaurant offers a panoramic lagoon view that enhances every dish from freshly‑picked seafood to classic Venetian pastas. The menu, curated by a local chef, combines traditional recipes with contemporary flair, complemented by a carefully selected wine list and signature cocktails. Staff robes in traditional togas, providing attentive service that makes every patron feel like a lady or gentleman of the city. Beyond its culinary delights, Ristorante Principessa tells the story of a 1,004 AD banquet where a Byzantine princess brought a jeweled fork into Venetian banquets, an event that inspired the restaurant’s name and elegant décor. Guests can savour this rich heritage while enjoying the modern taste of Naples‑scented tiramisu and the classic gloom‑trimmed polipo alla Lugana. Whether you’re dining at the terrace for a sunset view of the fireworks or celebrating a private event inside the Sala Principessa, the venue combines historic splendour with contemporary hospitality, making it a must‑visit destination for lovers of food, culture, and the Venetian skyline.
