The beach itself is not very nice and don't expect something really cool here but it is a good escape and at least there is sand and the Adriatic. This beach bar is about a 15 minute walk from the Lido island main boat stop straight across the Lido island. Actually it is part of a public beach thing. It is definitely not trendy or posh but still kind of a decent place to sip your Aperol Spritz with your feet in the sand :-)

This Hotel is amazing! If staying in Venice (Italy), I recommend you stay at Lido Beach. This gives…read moreyou the option to chill at the beach early in the day and your Venice in the afternoons.

Earlier in the day, we met fellow tourists who highly recommended the Bellini drink at Harry's Bar so off we went searching for the place, only to be disappointed by the treatment we received...like they couldn't care less whether we patronized their establishment or went elsewhere...so off we went to El Rofolo. El Rofolo was actually closer to our hotel and it looks like a local hangout that was very welcoming. We were treated like we were regulars, with friendly vibes all around. We really liked their version of the Bellini drinks and their cicchetti were delicious. Best of all, the total for two drinks and three cicchetti was just 13 Euros (unlike most bars close to Piazza San Marco charging 9 Euros for a Bellini)! What a great find.

Highly recommend. (Social Tea: A) - Smartly coined a catfish cocktail by the creator, this hot tea drink infused with Korean-Asian flavors tastes as beautiful as a refreshing hot fruit tea, you truly can't taste the alcohol at all! (White Soul: A) - I'm so impressed by the use of the immersion blender to create this luscious foam using just a simple syrup without the need for egg whites or anything else. This cocktail is super refreshing with those herbaceous notes, making this another drink that's very pleasant to drink.

This casual restaurant is located right behind the beach chairs, in the sand (with view of the water) and had a great relaxing atmosphere. There are tables or lounge style couches for whatever you fancy may be. Very reasonable prices. Great friendly staff, refreshing drinks (mojito a must), calamari so tender and juicy, caprese tasted fresh, avocado toast (basically a veggie sandwich with fried egg; very flavorful with a chipotle aioli), and seafood spaghetti (served in a soft taco shell instead of bread). Soft music played in the background, I didn't want to leave! Highly recommend the whole experience of beach chairs and an afternoon lunch here!

We came right around opening so were able to get a walk in table without a reservation. The staff were all super friendly and helpful throughout the night. The complementary bread here was probably the best one we had from every single restaurant we ate at in Italy. We shared a bottle of wine, and ordered a variety of dishes to share. We got the pistachio pasta, gnocchi with duck, ravioli, tuna plate, truffle lasagna, and fried platter. Amongst the items we ordered, standouts were definitely the pistachio pasta, gnocchi, and tuna. They were so perfectly textured and flavored, and we thoroughly enjoyed them all! We also got a frozen mojito like drink as a dessert wine, and it was so so delicious - one of the highlights of the trip! Definitely recommend this restaurant :)
