The Caffe Rosso — Restaurant in Venice

Tucked away in the heart of Venice’s artsy Dorsoduro neighborhood, this charming little café has quickly become one of our absolute favorite hideaways. With its eye-catching red façade, it’s impossible to miss as you stroll through the piazza — and once you step inside (or better yet, grab a seat outside), you’ll feel like you’ve found a secret oasis. Far from the bustling crowds, this spot oozes laid-back charm and local flavor.

Their small bites? Absolute gems — fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Whether you’re popping in for a morning coffee (which, by the way, is excellent) or winding down with a picture-perfect Aperol Spritz, everything here feels just right. It’s the kind of place where time slows down — where you can sit back, sip, snack, and soak in the Venetian vibes.

Whether you’re people-watching in the piazza or chatting with friendly locals and travelers alike, this café is all about simple pleasures done right. It’s not just a stop — it’s an experience. Trust us, once you find it, you’ll want to return every day...
