Ristorante Quadri In Venezia

The location is breathtaking. The service brings the ordered drinks once, but then disappears. A bottle of wine costs about seven times as much here as in a shop – which, in my opinion, is clearly overpriced.

It was a nice place to have a light cup of espresso.

If you're looking for a place to end your day in Venice, I recommend Gran Caffè Quadri, nestled in a corner of St. Mark's Square. While the prices are certainly on the high side, the unique combination of an outdoor terrace, live music, and a view of St. Mark's Square more than makes up for it. I sat on the terrace facing the square and ordered coffee and cocoa. As soon as my cups arrived, a band began playing, a combination of string instruments and piano, under soft lighting. As the violin melodies flowed, travelers at nearby tables and couples sitting far away naturally moved to the rhythm and smiled. It felt like watching a performance unfold across the entire square, without having to move anywhere. Gaze out at the square with your coffee cup in hand, and the silhouette of St. Mark's Basilica, the people passing by, and the classical music all merge into one scene. The sight of travelers from all over the world listening to the same music and gazing at the same square created a sense that "at this very moment, we're all on the same journey." The sweet aroma of cocoa added a touch of warmth to the cold night air. In summary, Café Quadri offers: Outdoor terrace seating overlooking St. Mark's Square A Venetian nighttime atmosphere with live classical music A perfect nighttime destination to end the day with a cup of coffee A place that can be used as a nighttime destination. Rather than expecting a reasonable price, approach it with the mindset of "spending money for the experience of sitting in St. Mark's Square and listening to music" and you'll be more than satisfied.

Some of the staff were very friendly... The Aperol Spritz wasn't exactly cheap... but hey, you're right on St. Mark's Square... you're paying for the location and the music... A must-do if you're in Venice...

The cocktails are amazing and the place is particularly special, given that it offers the chance to listen to live classical music on St. Marks square during evening hours, but the price is a lot.

Prestigious venue in the magnificent Piazza San Marco. Excellent food with a wide selection. Courteous and fast staff. Good live music available.

A magical experience, it's like stepping into another era for a moment ✨; I recommend everyone sit here at least once in their life...in the evening, with music. Prices are high but in line with the fast, friendly service, and everything is delicious. Ps. When the musicians are on, you can request a song you'd like to hear played🥰

We came here after visiting the Basilica & Doges palace. The sun was out, and it was our 20th wedding anniversary so we decided to spend a little extra and enjoy the atmosphere of St Marks square! We spent a few hours here and it was nice just to relax and watch the world go by! The live music was very pleasant in the background, it's not cheap but worth paying for the experience.

What can I say? You sit down and see before you what the whole world envies, what Napoleon wanted for himself. Plus, live music, fast and courteous staff... and it's not that expensive considering the whole setting. I recommend the one-of-a-kind "quadri" pizza!

Amazing experience! Excelent food and a very kind and efficient service of Tommazo.
