Located in the center of Jesolo near Piazza Aurora, the restaurant is one of the most creative establishments in the Veneto region, a pioneer of the "crafty" trend based on the concept of recycling and handcrafting, where every detail and recipe is designed with respect for the environment in mind.
Magazzino delle Scope defines itself as a “chic-eateria” restaurant, a neologism that comes from cicchetti, the traditional Venetian appetizers/tapas, and “chic eatery”.
The name takes, ironically, inspiration from the broom storage room (in Italian Magazzino delle Scope), metaphorically meaning the space recovered from the former historical restaurant Don Claudio that used to be next door and now incorporated into Magazzino delle Scope.
A place of experimentation, therefore, hosting art and furniture objects from the most diverse sources, most of which have been given a new intended use.
Owner Amos Romano, a member of a historic Jesolo restaurant family synonymous with quality and innovation, and his wife created the interior design and decor of the space, literally with their own hands. They prioritized the recovery of furnishings made by local artisans and unique details, such as the printed fabrics covering the cushions, the birdhouses, and the playful animal heads adorning the ceiling. They showcase a mix of artisanal objects that blend Venetian and Southern Italian influences with typically Northern European details.
Such a creative impulse could only give rise to a colorful store, an integral part of the restaurant where practically everything is for sale, and a children’s corner complete with a chalkboard and wooden toys to play with.
Like the Spanish tapas, the menu is based on yummy half-portions with an excellent vegetarian and vegan offer. The open-view kitchen favors local suppliers and organic products, placing great emphasis on the healthiness of its dishes, including an excellent selection of vegetarian and vegan options.
The Secret
Each of the vintage newspapers that covers the ceiling tells a chapter in the history of Italy, a tribute to its 150th anniversary which coincided with the opening date of the Magazzino delle Scope in 2011.
