Description

Modern and minimalist, with an open kitchen, Local is one of the best and most exciting restaurants in Venice, the result of the synergy between the extremely friendly owner, who works front of house, and talented chef, Salvatore Sodano. With a 7 or 9-course tasting menu, it is an experience not to be missed! Extraordinary wine cellar with almost a thousand labels, most of them Italian.
