Trattoria del Local

Trattoria del Local is one of those restaurants in Venice that combines tradition and modernity particularly well. The historic building has been renovated with great sensitivity. Original floors, exposed walls and classic details have been preserved, complemented by light colours, fine materials and the striking light-blue wooden chairs, which lend the rooms a fresh, airy feel. The result is elegant, relaxed and very Venetian. The owners create a personal atmosphere and are hosts who make you feel welcome straight away. In the kitchen, the focus is on produce from the lagoon and the culinary traditions of the Veneto region. The ‘Baccalà Mantecato’ – the Venetian speciality made from creamily whipped salt cod – is particularly delicious. Alongside this, there are seasonal vegetables, fish and other dishes closely linked to the region. Trattoria Local demonstrates just how contemporary Venetian gastronomy can be today. An exceptionally beautiful space, warm hosts and a cuisine that knows its roots and uses them to develop something unique. One of the places you simply must know about in Venice.
