Riva Lounge In Venezia

04/04/2026: Delicious macchiato, delicious cookies, a divine view and atmosphere, especially if you catch the orchestra playing. It's pricey (and very expensive, with an espresso starting at 12 euros), but let's be honest, the experience is worth it!

12/03/2026: Dining at Caffè Quadri is to experience one of those places where history, gastronomy, and setting come together in a unique way. The project bears the signature of brothers Massimiliano and Raffaele Alajmo, which is already a guarantee of quality, sensitivity, and excellence in every detail. Located in the incomparable Piazza San Marco, the café occupies one of the most extraordinary locations in the world. It boasts a terrace overlooking the square and an elegant interior lounge, while the gourmet restaurant is located upstairs. On this occasion, we opted for the café, a more informal setting but with the same impeccable service. We shared the top selection of cicchetti, which here are reinterpreted with a distinctly gastronomic flair—a far cry from classic Venetian bites—as well as excellent pasta. All prepared with the precision and care that characterize the group. The service was outstanding from beginning to end. Furthermore, the team made a lovely gesture by allowing us to finish our meal on the terrace, under the sun and right in St. Mark's Square. There, they brought us dessert and coffee to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. The moment became even more special when the chef and some of the team came out to present and assemble a spectacular mille-feuille with cream, which they prepared right in front of us. An unforgettable touch that transformed an already excellent meal into a memory that the whole family will cherish forever. Thank you to the entire Caffè Quadri team for their hospitality, their professionalism, and for making that moment truly special.
