With its noteworthy selection of Venice restaurants on the water, cocktail bars, and culinary school, The Gritti Palace raises the bar for food and drink experiences in the lagoon city. Local and seasonal ingredients and Venetian tradition are elaborated on in delicious recipes, which may be savored either at The Gritti Terrace, or immersed in the romantic and elegant setting of Club del Doge Restaurant. Visitors with a passion for cooking and enology may also take the opportunity to learn the secrets to Venetian cuisine, participate in wine tastings, or indulge the palate with a private chef’s table dinner at The Gritti Epicurean School with Executive Chef Alberto Fol. Home to some of Venice's best cocktails, champagne, and premium labels, the Longhi Bar and its Riva Lounge Grand Canal extension are the reign of Bar Manager and master mixologist Cristiano Luciani.

Executive Chef
The link with early-season harvest specialties and locally sourced produce represents the heart of The Gritti Palace’s cuisine, helmed by Executive Chef Alberto Fol. Alberto’s gastronomic vision has its roots embedded in the rich and complex culinary tradition of the region, made up not only of sea and lagoon but also of mountains: his signature “Scallops alla Cacciatora” uniting the many souls of Veneto in a single dish is an example. Working with the excellent raw material that the region offers represents the essence of Chef Fol’s cuisine: capable of satisfying the palates of a multiplicity of diners, from gourmands to neophytes, with the same quality and attention. The gastronomic experience offered by Club del Doge today makes the restaurant a must-visit address when visiting Venice.
Club del Doge Restaurant
Separate menus for lunch and dinner ensure the Club del Doge's culinary experience is always a voyage of discovery. At lunch, which tends to be a more informal affair, guests are encouraged to share dishes, including the restaurant's signature risotto and fresh seafood platters. As the sun sets the lights are lowered and the atmosphere changes. The dinner menu elegantly weaves time-honored dishes with culinary innovations.
