Reviews
An incredible meal in a stunning location. Everything about this meal was magical. The ambiance, the wait staff...everyone that interacted with us was so professional and kind. The food was extremely tasty. We also ate here for breakfast several days and everything was delicious.
We came to Club del Doge for lunch, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable meals of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcome. Our waiter recommended the RISOTTO “HEMINGWAY-STYLE” which is a signature dish, and it was absolutely phenomenal—rich, perfectly cooked, and full of incredible flavor. We also ordered the raw amberjack and the tomato for starters, both of which were beautifully presented and showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. Every course was elegant yet full of character. For dessert, we had the pineapple carpaccio, and I can honestly say it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten in my life. It was light, refreshing, beautifully balanced, and the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. The atmosphere is simply one of a kind. Whether you’re enjoying lunch overlooking the Grand Canal or celebrating a special occasion, the setting is elegant, peaceful, and unforgettable. Exceptional service, phenomenal food, and an atmosphere that makes the entire experience feel truly special. A restaurant we would return to in a heartbeat.
Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and one of the most stunning views in Venice. The Bellini made with fresh peaches was excellent and the red prawns were incredibly fresh. Don’t leave without trying the tiramisu, it was one of the highlights of our meal. The only disappointment came at the end. We wanted to order ice cream, which is served as three scoops. I politely asked if the scoops could be served on three separate plates so we could each have one. The manager refused. Instead, he brought one bowl of ice cream with three empty plates. It was a small request that would have cost nothing, so I honestly didn’t understand the refusal. It slightly spoiled an otherwise wonderful experience. Overall, it’s a lovely place with great food, beautiful views, and definitely worth visiting.
From the view, to the food, and the excellent service how does one go wrong? This is easily one of the best dinners we have ever had. Very relaxing. Top of the line service. Every dish had so much flavor. A must have when in Venice.
Ended up with a reservation here by mistake, but what a wonderful mistake! Alan is the best {multilingual} waiter one could hope for. The food was delicious. Perfect pace. The rest of the team was lovely too. Will be back for sure. ✨
