This place was incredible.
They were so kind and accommodating. My husband has a fish allergy and the chef made him a special pizza as a welcome amuse bouche. The restaurant was an elegant spot inside with air conditioning and a nice break for all the crazy busy tourist areas. The food itself was outstanding and worth a visit. The best place we visited for dinner in Venice.

The food was fine but not particularly mind blowing or inventive. They were playing piano covers of American pop songs which felt weird and out of place. We got the "research" tasting menu and wish we had gotten the seafood one instead because the seafood dishes (there were only 2) were definitely the best ones. Felt overpriced for the experience, we wouldn't go again.

Our best overall meal in Venice! The wines and food were all incredibly tasty and creative - with lots of little extras sent out by the kitchen. Super tasty. And well worth the price!
Be the first to ReplyThis place is an absolute gem.
Not touristy at all, the food was fantastic, and the staff (especially the chef) where extremely warm and friendly. The level of detail was incredible from the deep colors of the dishes to the very elegant silverware. It's a world-class experience to be able to dine in this place, and I was blown away with my visit.

Il Ridotto is a quiet polished oasis in the middle of a bustling tourist area. If you aren't looking for it specifically, it is easy to walk right past without noticing it. Inside is quiet, tranquil and a upscale place to have a lunch meal. The service and food was good, but nothing exceptional or surprising. A solid place to eat, but nothing to write home about.

Only nine tables. I expected the meal to be interesting because the server's English was only slightly better than my Italian, which is not very good. Two very auspicious beginnings: Fresh, hot rustic bread and olive oil to start with a delicious poached pear in pine nut cream for the amuse bouche. And, the server saw me on my phone and automatically brought me a slip with the WiFi password. This is the first time I have been at any bar or restaurant, anywhere, where I did not first have to ask for it. First course was beef tartare meatballs three ways: truffled, Parmesan and tomato, and beet root and pumpkin. All were delicious but the Parmesan and tomato was sublime. This turned out to be my favorite course. Next, a sardine with a mayonnaise and mustard sauce and stuffed with some sort of tomato compote that I didn't quite catch. I'm not a sardine fan but this was good. For the third course, they presented tripe and puréed beans. The beans were tasty but I only had a couple bites of tripe--something that I have never much cared for. Next, local shrimp with leaks, black pepper, capers, and a sauce I could not understand--maybe apricot? The shrimp were cooked perfectly and it was all a tasty combination. Course number five: an egg custard with mushrooms and black truffles. A very nice mix of subtle flavors. Delicious!This was followed by grilled chicken in broth with a little bit of pasta. It was simple but simply delicious. The chicken and the pasta were good but the broth was outstanding. Unfortunately, I cannot describe why. Perhaps because I typically associate chicken soup with being a bit salty and this was not. Also, it had chives which seemed to add a subtle tang. The seventh course consisted of risotto with almonds, lime, and a cheese I didn't quite catch. I've noticed that risotto in Venice tends to be more firm than creamy. This course was both delicious and a large portion for a tasting menu. Thus, I offer a warning to try to avoid eating a lot of the bread despite it tasting so very good. #8 was pork rib and pork belly with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Everything was good but not"wow " good. The ninth course was tiramisu. It was excellent. Not too sweet and the espresso flavor came through nicely. Overall, an excellent meal but I would have enjoyed it more without the sardine and tripe. The wines were very good but the pairings would have benefited from more care. Note that the portions are large. It's worth trying all nine courses but you might not want to completely finish all of them.As happens so often in many places, even small ones, the quality of service trailed off towards the end. Especially if I say I don't want coffee, I'd like to see the bill and have my credit card run quickly. It was a tough choice but the fade at the end was the tie break between 4 or 5 stars.

A very small, warm, contemporary dining room greets you with warm Venetian charm. The food, very good and speaks to the long Venetian culture. One problem, ultra simplified translations for non Italian speakers results in incomplete and unglamorous sounding dishes. For example we were told "meatballs". In fact it was three different seasoned balls of beef tartar. Each mind bogglingly complex and flavorful. The standout incorporating a molecular gastronomy technique to creating a frozen, intensely flavored tomato powder and coating a tartar ball with it. The end result tasting exactly like an American meatloaf. Another coated in black truffles and powdered olive oil that becomes rich and liquid when it touches the tongue.Go with a very open mind and let sensory dining envelope you.Asian influences are everywhere owing to the Venetian empire once being the center of trade with the East. It is reflected in the food.An example, a tender mussel dressed with what seems to be sweet miso paste and a sweetened soy sauce. Briny goodness that works. The traditional bacccala mantecato sits atop a bed of Indian spiced black lentils instead of polenta. It too works.Another example, a pork dish served two ways, also very good but different. A "sausage" wrapped in bacon. Coarse ground enriched by a lot of fat. Solid. The accompanying pork belly, finished in Asian spices, almost an homage to the Chinese barbecue pork.Classics of Venezia are also represented. A simple crudo of lagoon fish and crab, excellent in conveying place. Simply prepared and dressed in EVOO. The fish, gelatinous and eel like, the crab, very briny like a small shoreline crab would be.Further, a simple seafood soup, its base, the classic Venetian, intensely flavored, gently sweet, goh (goby) broth. Flavored with aquatic herbs and studded with sea snails, sepia and mussels. Tomato adds acidity. Stunning. Extremely friendly Italian service.Very good wine list. Excellent recommendations made by the servers. Unfortunately were not told of a wine pairing for our multicourse meal which would have been preferable to ordering a full bottle and supplementing it with matching glasses. Very fair pricing. 5,7,9 course menus at €95, €110, €140 respectively. Ala carte also available.Lunch and dinner. One month advance Reservation required. Credit card to warranty the reservation at the time of booking.Deserving of the star? Yes but you would be wise to try the basics of Venetian cuisine before experiencing this elevated version. Excellent.

This was okay but not nearly as good as less expensive restaurants in Venice. Service a bit anxious and unpolished, for a highly rated restaurant surprisingly. Food fairly boring and moderately over cooked and charred. Disappointing for the price.
Be the first to ReplyHorrible, not sure how this place has a Michelin star.
The food was nowhere near tasteful. For pre course we got sardines on top of chocolate cake and a fish sandwich..? For first course we received a plate of sardines with cheese- fresh from the can. We had a plate of risotto and the rice was hard and very undercooked. The main course was a huge chicken cutlet. Nowhere near a Michelin star experience, to top it off we were so frustrated with the bad food and lack of AC that we asked for the check before finishing our last course and had to argue with the waitress because she didn't understand how to charge a specific amount on a credit card. We were simply trying to tip them and she refused. Don't waste your time!
Be the first to ReplyWe had a fantastic dinner here.
It was not cheap (pre dinner drinks, the seven course menu, the paired local wines were several hundred euros). Just about every course was a delight. Sardines with kiwi. A mussel with caramel. A shrieking eel. (Actually no the eel wasn't one of the famous shrieking eels, but it was the largest eel I've ever had.).We were warned that dinner would take three hours: it was more like 4, but we were having a lovely time. Do order the house vermouth. It's the best white vermouth I've had. We'll be back, hopefully before Michelin notices and gives them a second star.
Be the first to ReplyExcellent food worthy of a Michelin star.
The lunch menu consisting of 3 tapas and a main is a real bargain at 35 euro a head. Excellent wine list for those who are onto that. Overall a great experience.
Be the first to ReplyHighly recommended.
The service was impeccable. Tremendous flavorful courses that truly deliver a delightful treat in a tourist driven town. Add a great bottle of wine and this was a lunch experience not to miss in Venice...for those looking for something outside the usual tourist menu.
