Il Refolo

Absolutely amazing and authentic Venetian food. Kind service that also does not hesitate to tell what he thinks would be good recommendations to try, and all the food pairs perfectly well and is made fresh! Best of all, the restaurant is within a good budget without sacrificing quality.

We had a good time during carneval. Originally we only saw their selfmade pizza dough when walking by. The day after we wanted to taste it, and man, was it delicious.

Il Refolo is a charming restaurant located right in the center of Venice, next to a picturesque canal. The outdoor seating is a highlight, with plenty of space to enjoy a delicious meal in a beautiful and relaxing setting. Dining by the water adds an extra layer of magic to the experience, making it perfect for a romantic dinner or a casual meal with friends. The menu offers a variety of Italian dishes, with a focus on fresh, homemade pasta. I ordered the “fresh tagliatelle with scallops and mushrooms,” and it was fantastic. The pasta was tender and flavorful, the scallops were perfectly cooked, and the mushrooms added a delightful earthiness to the dish. It was beautifully balanced and felt like a true Venetian specialty. To complement the meal, I had a glass of red wine that paired wonderfully with the dish, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them. For dessert, I chose the homemade ginger ice cream, which was a refreshing and unique way to end the meal, offering a hint of spice with a smooth, creamy texture. Overall, Il Refolo offers a delightful dining experience with its lovely outdoor space, delicious homemade pastas, and a charming canal-side location. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the flavors of Venice in a serene and scenic atmosphere.

A wonderful family dinner! The pizza is delicious & service is very friendly! We loved dining outside with the church bells ringing looking at the bridge and canal!

The pizza and pasta were delicious- so good that we came back the next day! Friendly service and view of the canal with passing gondolas made our meal even more special. Highly recommend!

Just wow! If you want delicious seafood, in a quiet part of Venice with a view of the canal, this is the place. We enjoyed everything we tried. Seafood entree, seafood pasta and a mixed seafood plate. Just wow.

Every time I have been in Venice, I came here. And it was always a wonderful experience. Delicious food, nice staff, and a beautiful and calm place with great atmosphere.

My wife and I had a wonderful spontaneous dinner here tonight. I am a huge fan of being in a restaurant and never needing to open the menu. The owner and his waiters where friendly and suggested openly what was fresh and special from the kitchen. Great experience dinner flew by and the setting on the quiet mini piazza next to the water and wonderful tiny church. Just great! Thank you so much!!!
