Best Restaurants in Rialto (2026): Dinner You'll Still Be Talking About
Rialto is good for the fish market, cicchetti bars and the bridge itself, and the restaurants people save most are L' Bacaro de' Bischeri, Cà D'oro alla Vedova and Antico Forno. Ranked from 17 places we track here, creator picks first.
Updated · 17 places we track in Rialto, all first recorded in March 2026
Mercato di Rialto sells fish, vegetables and local goods right on the water, and the bars around it are the reason to be hungry. Cantina Do Mori has been pouring wine and serving cicchetti since the 15th century, and Enoteca Al Volto, Bar All'Arco and Al Mercà are within a few steps. Osteria Bancogiro and Ca' D'oro alla Vedova, known for its meatballs, cover a sit-down meal. The Fondaco dei Tedeschi has a rooftop terrace over the canal. Do your eating here one street back from the bridge, not on it.
