The most romantic restaurants in Veneto — Veneto Secrets

Are you looking for a restaurant for the perfect candlelit dinner or a lunch with an unforgettable view?

We have selected for you some of the most romantic venues in Veneto, chosen not only on the basis of their atmosphere made unique by important details, soft lights and unforgettable views, but above all thanks to their power of love. How?

Almost all the proposed restaurants are, in fact and not surprisingly, managed by a couple, or rather, partners in crime at work and in life, a guarantee of that care and quality that give life to the magical spark that will make you savor not a simple dinner, but a real experience.

Due Mori, Asolo (Treviso)

The restaurant boasts a very popular table with a view of the rolling hills of Asolo as well as tasty dishes prepared with a vintage wood stove, therefore without any use of electricity, to offer the most genuine and natural flavors. It is with these romantic premises that chef Stefano De Lorenzi gave life to his idea of a “modern trattoria“, in the heart of the historic center of one of the most beautiful towns in Italy.

The small eatery will make you really fall in love, as well as for the fantastic view, for the scent of wood spread by the always-on fireplace, the attention to detail of the mise en place and the beauty of the rustic environments. The dishes are impeccable, based on traditional local recipes reinterpreted with modern lightness by the brigade at work in the fascinating open kitchen.

SanBrite, Cortina (Belluno)

SanBrite is the restaurant that best interprets Cortina d’Ampezzo’s tradition, characterized by the flavor of larch woods and uncontaminated pastures, projecting it towards a refined contemporaneity. It is no coincidence that the hosts are chef Riccardo Gaspari and his wife Ludovica Rubbini, also at the helm of the more rustic Brite di Larieto, who has always been a guarantee of taste, hospitality and good food.

Here Chef Riccardo proposes a creative high mountain cuisine while remaining faithful to the choice of cooking only with ingredients produced by the family farm: meats, cereals and cheeses. For a date, be sure to book a table with a view of the Tofane mountains or, in summer, have a picnic in the surrounding meadows or a private lunch set up ad hoc on the convivial table romantically immersed in the vegetable garden.

Locanda La Candola, Farra di Soligo (Treviso)

One of the most romantic restaurants in the Veneto region, thanks to a breathtaking view over the Treviso hills, Locanda la Candola is a paradise for lovers of good, artfully cooked fish. Located on top of a hill, the beautiful rural residence with exposed bricks, cute blue balconies and charming details, such as the white wrought iron chairs, is managed by a genuine Venetian, Alberto Cristante, who moved between these hills for love. Gourmand restaurateur, with a long experience gained at the Antico Pignolo and Linea D’Ombra in Venice, he loves looking with “special” ingredients and guiding you through tastings that will make your evening truly unforgettable.

In the summer, book a table in the garden and enjoy the view of what is certainly one of the places in the Veneto that most enchants from all points of view: culinary, aesthetic and emotional.

Locanda Rosa Rosae, Breda di Piave (Treviso)

Defined by Forbes as the most beautiful restaurant in the world, nestled in the Breda di Piave countryside, the Locanda is an old mill from the 1500s beautifully restored by Silvio Stefani, architect and designer, and managed with his wife Elisabetta. Together, they have created a romantic paradise made of shabby chic suggestions and decorated with ethnic objects bought in their travels.

Ponte Pietra, Verona

If Verona is the city of love, Ponte Pietra it is one of its most romantic symbols. This is the wonderful view offered by this restaurant housed in an ancient 15th-century building and decorated with refined furnishings, inspired by the aristocratic bistros of the late 19th century, vintage objects and bottles of Amarone.

Ponte Pietra is the perfect place for an evening inspired by the Bacchus and Venus tale, just think that the owner Gianni has been the former manager of the legendary Bottega del Vino for years and that he turned the wonderful stone vault basement from Roman times into a wine cellar. In nice weather, make a reservation in the small terrace with a view, otherwise book one of the tables for two by the windows.

Gio’s Restaurant & Terrace, Venice

And what could be more romantic than the Grand Canal? Gio’s Restaurant & Terrace, located inside the 5-star luxury hotel The St. Regis Venice, offers one of the most beautiful views of Venice, thanks to its wonderful terrace overlooking the Basilica della Salute on one side and Punta della Dogana on the other. The iconic building that houses the restaurant, due to its splendid location, was, in fact, one of the first private residences in the mid-19th century (when the hospitality sector was born in Italy) to be transformed into a luxury hotel.

In 1881 it becomes the Grand Hotel Britannia, chosen as a stay in the lagoon city by Claude Monet, who will begin some of his famous paintings here, making the hotel enter the history of art for the “most magnificent views in all of Venice”, as his wife Alice wrote in a letter to his daughter. A beauty that can be enjoyed today for a very special lunch or a romantic dinner.
