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 :-)

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 were shown our table for 4 but there was no room to sit on one side of the table as the next table had crowded in a few more chairs. We tried to scoot the table over but the one server yelled at us that we couldn't move the table. The woman who showed us to the table helped us move it over. Very limited food menu. I ended up with truffle fries for dinner. The spring rolls and bao were edible but just not very good. We all ordered a 24 euro signature cocktail but I think I would've done better just ordering a prosecco or Bellini. Drinks were not instagramable but just poured in a glass. Would I recommend this place - only if you're too tired to find somewhere else. You could just come up for a look and a picture and that would be enough.
