Ottima accoglienza, esperienza gustativa emozionante, atmosfera piacevole.

Devo dire per l'ennesima volta esperienza assolutamente positiva. Un plauso al personale preparato gentile bravi...il sommelier strepitoso.

P E R F E T T O ragazzi giovani, ritrovati dopo un periodo all'estero, tutti di Venezia, che si sono messi a scommettere su qualità e tradizione. Preso in pieno. Piatti curatissimi che soddisfano appieno, pane fatto in casa, lista dei vini incredibile. Finalmente si mangia bene a Venezia.

Ottima connubio tra cucina “local” e innovazione senza spingere troppo sull’acceleratore ... pardon sul “manego”. Va considerato un riferimento per Venezia. Ci ritorno!

Consigliato prenotare; perfetto il menù degustazione classico; pagamento anche con carta di credito

Posto incredibile, cibo spettacolare, vini sublimi e servizio eccellente. Un'esperienza unica con un servizio accogliente ma professionale. Tutto perfetto dall'inizio alla fine. Ringraziamo tutto lo staff per la cura e l'amore che ci mettono

Locale molto accogliente e ottimamente arredato. Deliziosa l’ accoglienza della padrona di casa e deliziosi i piatti. Ogni portata è corredata da un cartoncino di descrizione che spiega la storia e la provenienza di ingredienti e piatti. Se vi volete bene è il posto giusto per una bellissima serata.

I visited the restaurant and had an amazing experience! The service was simply excellent, the staff were kind, professional, and always smiling, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I especially loved the open kitchen, the team there is charming, creative, and clearly enjoys what they do. The food was absolutely outstanding! The beet and shrimp dish was unforgettable, and the risotto – without a doubt – was one of the best I’ve ever had. Every dish was beautifully presented, and you could truly feel the love and attention that went into every detail.

Creative dishes with Venetian ingredients. I will never forget the risole with friggetelli peppers for as long as I live.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Extraordinary Lunch Experience at Ristorante Local We had the most amazing lunch at Ristorante Local in Venice. We chose the 7-course tasting menu with wine pairing, and it was truly unforgettable from start to finish. Each dish was creative, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor — a perfect balance of modern technique and Venetian tradition. The wine pairings were incredibly thoughtful and elevated every course. Alessandra was fantastic — warm, knowledgeable, and even recommended an extra pairing for our pre-dessert cheese selection, which ended up being one of our favorite moments. The entire experience lasted about three hours, but it never felt rushed or drawn out — just perfectly paced and immersive. We left absolutely glowing and couldn’t stop talking about it the rest of the day. A Michelin-star experience through and through.

This time my Michelin Star Journey brought me to the beautiful city of Venice. Already at the hotel reception I was the told that „local“ is probably one of the best restaurants in all of Venice. What a promise to keep! And I was not disappointed. Deeply grounded in the rich Venetian Heritage the kitchen took me away on culinary night of flavour and taste. Dry aged fish, the secret of the „Roman Ketchup“, one course after the other took first my tongue and then my heart. What a night! The wine pairing was perfectly and carefully selected and had been the icing on this extraordinary evening. Needless to say that I had to try their newest spinoff „Trattoria del Local“ for lunch the next day. All in all coming to Venice was a brilliant idea, and most certainly I will come back to visit „Local“ again.

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary at Local in Venice, and it was the perfect choice. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt cozy, authentic, and full of charm—everything you’d want for such a special night. The seven-course tasting menu was incredible. Each dish had its own story, beautifully prepared and full of flavor, with just the right mix of tradition and creativity. Matteo made sure we felt at home the entire evening with his genuine warmth, and Manuel’s wine and spirits pairings were absolutely spot-on—they truly took the meal to another level. Local isn’t just dinner, it’s an experience you carry with you long after. Our anniversary was unforgettable thanks to the amazing food, the welcoming team, and the care behind every detail. We can’t wait to come back to Venice just to do it all over again.

Thank you, Matteo, Culinary’s team, and the staff for their hospitality. We all enjoyed everything, i.e., atmosphere, cuisine, and service. It is one of the best restaurants in Venice.

My wife and I went here for dinner to celebrate her birthday. It was simply amazing! Very course was an absolute delight. Surprising tastes that you do not find very day even in other Michelin Star restaurants. I am surprised they only have one star. They definitely deserve a second one. The birthday surprise was just the icing on the cake to complete an amazing and unforgettable experience! If you look for something special in Venice you have to come here.

Rebecca Szydlowski

This place was an amazing experience on my honeymoon in Venice. When you first walk, we were greeted by the owner and sat at our table. The serving staff had an incredible attention to detail and knew exactly what our table needed before we even said anything. We did the 9 course tasting menu paired with their wine selections. Everything tasted absolutely amazing and the presentation of the dishes was gorgeous. This is a great experience and highly recommend.

A unique dining experience showcasing the cuisine of Venice. Flavour combinations and techniques used were fascinating. Service was attentive - we had the 9 course menu; timing of each course was well paced. Not too rushed and not too leisurely. There was a whole parade of sweets at the end. A real treat. The owner Bernadita presented many of the dishes herself. She was welcoming and demonstrably proud of her tram. She patiently answered our multitude of questions.

It was our best dinner during the honeymoon trip. The very attentive service, knowledge about food & wine, Friendliness and no need to say about the taste and quality of the food, everything was perfect. We had a 7 item course menu, and it didn't feel short. Each menu was exceptional and creative. We will definitely revisit whenever we come back to Venezia, and then will go with the wine pairing because we had the same amount of wine anyway. Thank you for making our best night!!

Situated on a really top picturesque location, super cozy interior, floors and glasses match! Super tasty and diverse food! Great wine list and a knowledgeable sommelier. Staff are friendly and hospitable, the food is top notch! A seven course meal takes about an hour and a half - two hours. Make sure to get a reservation, in order for you to be able to indulge in this culinary adventure!

Fabulous tasting menu -- the real deal by a chef who knows what he's doing. Every course was tasty and incorporated interesting ideas without the concept overshadowing the actual flavors of the excellent ingredients. The wine pairings were well chosen and varied. Fantastic bread. The atmosphere was lovely except for the one big window overlooking the bright neon lights of the pharmacy across the calle. Not sure what could be done about that. Service was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Good English. Expensive and worth it.

The food is a new concept of Naples cuisine. We had the 9 course menu which was absolutely amazing, mostly seafood dishes. The wine pairing was astonishing even if I am not a great wine coneseur. It was just perfect. Nice and friendly staff that carefully attended our needs. Definitely a must go to when visiting Venice

Excellent contemporary dishes, using fresh local produce. Good and reasonably priced wine list and knowledgeable sommelier. Friendly and professional waiting staff. We had the 7 course tasting menu “identity” amazing... highlights include smoked eel and a cuttlefish dish so well executed that it totally changed my mind about cuttlefish which is extremely difficult cook well and they absolutely nailed it. We enjoyed the experience will definitely be back more.

Il cibo è ottimo e il personale di sala è molto gentile. Eravamo in due e abbiamo entrambi scelto il menù da 9 portate, senza l’abbinamento di vini, ma con bottiglia a la carte. La nostra esperienza è stata macchiata da un episodio che può capitare, ma che non è stato gestito, a nostro avviso, nel modo corretto: verso fine cena la mia compagna ha notato che un moscerino era finito nel suo bicchiere di vino. Per risolvere, abbiamo chiesto un cucchiaino per rimuovere l’insetto da noi, ma la proprietaria ha portato via il bicchiere dicendo che ci avrebbe pensato lei. A quel punto, trattandosi di ristorante stellato, ci saremmo aspettati un cambio di bicchiere con sostituzione del vino. In realtà, ci è stato riportato lo stesso bicchiere con la metà del vino che conteneva prima della rimozione del moscerino. Una piccola caduta di stile, certo, ma quando si cena in un posto del genere si pretende un minimo di attenzione in più, anche a queste cose. Aggiungo una nota: il conto a mio parere è un po’ altino, considerando tutto l’insieme.

Victor Alberts

The food was nice and creative (especially the risone!). The wine was good and the service was attentive. After asking for the bill, we were offered a small ice cream and a liqueur. I expected these to be complimentary, but they added another €70 to the bill. In the end, we were surprised to pay almost €700 in total for two €160 tasting menus. This made it feel like a very commercial place and, unfortunately, not the best value for money. There are better options in Venice. I would recommend it, though, but be aware that you pay for every offered bite

First of all I love the atmosphere of this place, using wood to give its warm atmosphere. One aspect I truly appreciated was how each dish was accompanied by a card describing its preparation and sharing interesting stories about the dish itself. This added a thoughtful and educational touch to the dining experience. For the first dish, I was served seaweed jelly paired with Prosecco, corn, and a canelé. Upon tasting, it was clear that the dish had an Asian-fusion influence, particularly with the inclusion of seaweed jelly, which is not commonly used in Italian cuisine. While I admired their attempt to incorporate seaweed, I felt it missed the mark. Instead of highlighting the umami that seaweed can offer, the dish accentuated its fishiness, which overpowered the other flavors and made it less enjoyable. On the other hand, the third dish, a sour butter risotto, was exceptional. The combination of the tangy sourness with the creamy texture of the risotto created a wonderfully balanced and flavorful dish. It stood out as a creative and successful innovation. For dessert, I was served ice cream that was heavily infused with Madagascar vanilla. While the use of vanilla was evident, the bright yellow color of the ice cream gave it an artificial appearance, which felt inconsistent with the restaurant’s name, “Local.” This visual choice detracted from the otherwise premium impression of the dessert, given the associations people might have with artificial coloring. Overall, I appreciated the creativity and effort that went into the dishes, but some elements felt misaligned with the restaurant’s concept and could be refined further to deliver a more cohesive dining experience.

Locale molto bello, staff simpaticissimo e ospitale. Detto questo, non sono rimasto molto colpito dal menù a 4 portate a pranzo (70€). Ingredienti di base di ottima qualità, l’elaborazione purtroppo molto semplice e poco creativa. I cicchetti dimenticabili (e già dimenticati), chip di mais leggermente stantia, ceviche con leche de tigre sapeva troppo di latte di cocco e non aveva la giusta acidità, piatto con branzino molto poco elaborato. Desserts anche loro dimenticabili e già dimenticati. A questi prezzi sinceramente mi aspetto molto di più (per questo motivo 3 stelle e non 4). Il ristorante ha potenziale ma a mio parere la strada è ancora abbastanza lunga.

We visited Ristorante Local with high expectations, given its Michelin star status. While the experience wasn’t bad, it definitely didn’t deliver the “wow” factor we were hoping for. The food was decent, but not particularly memorable or surprising. Service was polite but didn’t feel especially warm or attentive—nothing stood out as special. The atmosphere was nice, but again, nothing that really elevated the evening. For a set menu close to €200 per person, we expected a more refined, curated, and emotional journey. It felt like something was missing—whether in terms of creativity, flavors, or service presence. At this level, the bar is high, and unfortunately, Local didn’t quite reach it.

Simona Covaliu

Overall I found most of the dishes out of balance. For example, the tuna, while beautifully cut, lacked seasoning. The eel risotto was too acidic. And then there is personal taste: the duck was perfectly good but not on my alley, the dry aged code was not the right structure-looked on one side overcooked and one side undercooked. I loved the lamb amuse, the blue crab, the dessert and the aged Parmigiano in the cheese platter was amazing! I truly truly disliked the licorice and black garlic dish (personal taste, but my friend I was with, a lover of licorice, disliked it as profoundly). We had also the special wine pairing and the wines were a letdown, except for the dessert one. The service was also not what you would expect from a Michelin rated place. Although the sommelier was great! Overall disappointed, especially considering the price tag, it seemed an off night for them. Sadly the first time I did not enjoy food in Italy.
