19/01/2026: Cicchetti, wine and service never disappoint.
18/01/2026: Entering Osteria Al Diplomatico means taking a step back in time, to that precious place where cuisine isn't a fad but a story, and every dish speaks the language of local tradition.
The atmosphere is intimate, cozy, and authentic: weathered wood, photographs on the walls, warm lighting, and that old-fashioned osteria atmosphere reminiscent of stories, conviviality, and good wine.
The cuisine is sincere and respectful of the local area. Fish is the star, expertly prepared without unnecessary artifice: from the crispy and light fried calamari and prawns to the cicchetti that celebrate Venetian culture with elegance and simplicity. Each bite is balanced, clean, and distinctive.
The creamy and enveloping orzotto is a tribute to peasant cuisine reinterpreted with a modern sensibility, while the seafood dishes narrate the lagoon with respect and restraint, letting the ingredients do the talking. Nothing is shouted, everything is thoughtful.
The service is welcoming, familiar, and never intrusive: you feel like a guest, not a customer. Here, time slows down, you converse, drink well, and eat slowly, as it once did.
Osteria Al Diplomatico is more than just a restaurant: it's a legacy, a place that preserves and perpetuates our local tradition with love and consistency. A place to return to, because true flavors never tire.
Authentic, honest, deeply ours.
