Centrale

San Marco, Venice –

Located in a beautifully restored sixteenth-century palazzo, the spacious interior that once housed Cinema Centrale was transformed in 2005 into one of Venice’s most lavish restaurants and lounges.

Floor-to-ceiling windows give arriving patrons their first glance at the striking décor, rich with sophisticated details, fine materials, sculptural partitions, and playfully illuminated glass.

Immensely popular with an upscale and cultured clientele of lovers of the arts, Venetian glitterati, and a smattering of celebrities, the restaurant exudes a soft glamour and offers an inventive seasonal menu complemented by an extensive wine list.

Separate bar and lounge areas glow with ever-changing colors and provide a low-key atmosphere and plenty of tables and leather couches for visitors who prefer to relax, chat, and mingle over a bit of bubbly.

Patrons looking for a dazzling start or finish to their evening would do well to stop by Centrale for a bite to eat or a well-crafted cocktail.
