📖

Full description

Il Paradiso Perduto is a traditional neighbourhood tavern that works more like a lively bacaro than a formal restaurant. Visitors choose fresh seafood and cicchetti straight from the counter, with shellfish singled out by reviewers as particularly well cooked.

The room fills with Italians and tourists alike, especially on weekend nights, and the programme of live readings and music gives it a bohemian edge. It suits an informal, sociable meal with plenty of local character rather than a refined dining experience.

Reviews

The best food we had in Venice. This lovely restaurant was recommended by local friends. Went on a Sunday afternoon and we didn't need a reservation. I would really recommend scallops, the mixed seafood dish and the house wine. The portions are very good for the price.
