Club del Doge

Fine dining on the Grand Canal - a treat on your trip. Located in the Gritti Palace Hotel, this restaurant offers old school fine dining vibes with incredible views, including the huge-domed Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. The food was very good (fried artichokes and sea bass) to excellent (spider crab and Hemingway risotto). The amuse bouche was a tartar of beef - extravagant but didn't impress. We skipped dessert but was still presented with a trio of sweets - a fine way to send off the guests. The friendly service clicked like a clock as various servers brought menus, water, wine, bread and food. We were never rushed and enjoyed the experience fully.

I had lunch at the Gritti Terrace which is outdoor seating. I’m assuming it’s apart of this establishment since the menu is listed online. The food was good. It didn’t knock me off my feet but overall good food. Drinks were amazing! I think I had 4 cocktails. The view is really peaceful..except when the gondoliers start yelling at each other. But after tuning them out you can really enjoy a beautiful lunch. I will say the service was absolutely phenomenal. From walking in the door till the moment I left, the staff was friendly and accommodating. I had a little trouble finding the place. Just kept walking until I seen the scenery then there was a small sign at the entrance. Overall enjoyed it and would definitely recommend as an experience.

I didn’t fully research this menu before dining here. For the price, I’d expect them to have more options. There was only 1 meat option and 1 fish option. Minimal seafood and poultry options. There were other random things on the menu including Foie Gras, Eel and Raw Scallops that aren’t exactly items I care to eat. The ambience and service were amazing. I expected incredible Italian food in combination with a gorgeous location and backdrop. I wouldn’t recommend this place as it doesn’t embody “Italian Cuisine” and I probably wouldn’t dine here again unfortunately.

The finest dining in all of Venice. Nothing is compromised, everything is of the highest quality & the timing of the service and politeness of the staff was perfect. Every dish is meticulously put together like pieces of art. Sometimes you may receive a surprise from the chef. Even the olive oil for the bread was unique. We look forward to our next meal here, it was definitely an experiance to remember. Thank you Venice & the staff of Club Del Doge :)

My bf prepared the surprise of this restaurant for me because of the amazing view. However…. The partition blocks all the view of the canal, the Basilica across from the restaurant didn’t light up too… so in the comparison to what we see on the Internet, it’s completely different, which is very sad. I believe most of people coming for it. Not having much appetite after seeing what the restaurant literally looks like… only order 2 dishes for each. The starters are very good. I will consider it very expensive because the price is the same comparing to other Michelin restaurants but the food isn’t as great as it. Maybe we shouldn’t come in an early November. Probably need to try in a daytime for cocktails. Service on the other hand is extraordinarily good, but here also charged 14€ for service per person. It’s still very pity that the view looks very valueless… with this price.

Truly amazing! Absolutely breathtaking. I had booked the reservation on the day of my arrival. Unfortunately due to connecting flight issues we arrived much much later than I anticipated. I called and they were very accommodating and pleasant. Luckily they were able to move my reservation to the next day. Well worth it! We were fortunate to have good weather at lunch which allowed for a lovely view from the terrace. Food was superb and staff was very pleasant. All around great experience I highly recommend.

We had the most wonderful meal this evening. The service was impeccable with Alan seemingly appearing exactly when needed and all of the staff working together effortlessly. The wine was beautiful, the view was beautiful - we could not fault it. I could not recommend a dinner here more.

Food was really elegant, I had the seafood risoto, creamy but not too much, like just right. Then again I keep thinking maybe a bit more salt? but anyway was tasty. My wife’s pasta with lobster, full of flavor, she said wow three times. The piano music in background, calm, then I got distracted by gondolas outside, felt like a movie, no, more like a postcard. Staff was good, professional, explaind dishes slow, not rushing, chelner had blue shirt and looked kinda busy. Prices, yes high, I repeat, high, but ok you don’t pay only the plate, you pay the moment, the air, the water, all that. Romantic, yes, I say again, romantic.
