Il Ridotto

"There's hardly room to swing a catfish in this brand-new, five-table gourmet locale behind the Doge's Palace."

"Longtime restaurateur Gianni Bonaccorsi... has established an eatery where he can pamper a limited number of lucky patrons with his imaginative cuisine and impeccable taste in wine." Full review

"From an open kitchen the size of a closet comes a parade of tasty small plates: a dollop of savoury Tuscan bread pudding, Venetian crudi composed into a glistening mosaic." Full review

"There are only nine tables at this "excellent" Italian seafooder in Castello, so it's "kind of like being in the chef's house", especially when "he comes over to advise" guests on what to order." Full review

"One of the most interesting restaurants in the city. It serves fine, sophisticated cuisine that is nonetheless authentic and free from unnecessary frills." Full review

" Pricey for dinner, it offers an extraordinarily good value for its set lunch menu: following plates of modern cichetti such as shrimp with cauliflower and roasted almonds." Full review

"The restaurant emanates a calm elegance from its small, brick-clad premises. There’s barely room for 20 diners in here, and each is made to feel very special." Full review

"Both father and son are in the kitchen at this simple yet elegant small restaurant, serving up imaginative dishes that focus not only on local recipes and ingredients but also on gastronomic influences from the whole of Italy" Full review
