Situated on the waterfront of the Riva degli
Schiavoni and only a few minutes walk from St
Mark’s Square, this elegant little restaurant
overlooks the lagoon and the Island of San
Giorgio. But the most outstanding features are
the views… The Do Leoni Restaurant is one of the
few location in Venice where all the dining of
the rooms boast wonderful, romantic views of the
lagoon (deluxe rooms and junior suites). The
hotel’s ‘Do Leone’ restaurant on the promenade
offers Venetian as well as international cuisine
and is the perfect place to unwind after an
exhausting days’ sightseeing in this amazing
city.
A wall of windows overlooking the lagoon and the
island of San Giorgio makes this the hotel of
choice for soaking up that extraordinary lagoon
view -- sweeping all the way from the Salute to
the Lido. The restaurant is all glass, light,
and water views.
In the year 1860, there was great excitement in
Venice for the opening of a new Hotel Palace on
Riva degli Schiavoni, just a few steps from
Piazza San Marco. It had been designed by Fuin,
a famous Venetian engineer of the period. In the
year 1900, the hotel merged with a next door
property and which eventually became the
enchanting Hotel Londra Palace. In March 1999,
the Hotel Londra Palace finished restoration in
its common areas and facade, from the lobby to
the restaurant - a project that began in 1992
and at a cost eight million dollars. The first
phase of the job was to turn the 73 rooms into
53, adding more comfort and placing marble in
the bathrooms. Having one hundred windows
looking out onto the Grand Canal, the hotel's
guestrooms are spacious and luminous, having
authentic furniture of XIXth century style,
period paintings and original materials. Each
room, uniquely designed, grants to each guest
the pleasure of an exclusive yet tasteful
sumptuousness. The Standard rooms have city
views; the Deluxe rooms enjoy views on the
lagoon and on the island of San Giorgio; and the
Junior Suites, which are more spacious, offer
views on the basin of San Marco and the
Palladian church of San Giorgio. As for the
hotel's renowned Do Leoni Restaurant, a typical
Venetian dinner becomes the conduit for an
enchanting evening - Chef Loris and his staff
are already at work preparing a delightful
dinner just for you. Venice 4 Star, Luxury First
Class Hotel.
The view must have been pleasing to Tchaikovsky,
whte the first three movements of his fourth
symphony in the Hotel's room 106. He nicknamed
his work do leoni, the lions symbolizing London
and Venice. Immediately outside the Hotel is an
equestrian statue of Vittorio Emanuele the
Second,
first king of a unified Italy, supported by
stone lions. Neoclassical public rooms, with
splashes of blue-and-green glass suggesting the
sea, play nicely off guest rooms, which have
fine fabric, damask drapes, Biedermeier
furniture, and Venetian glass.
The Hotel's ristorante Do Leoni serves
sophisticated venetian cuisine in a handsome
room with a stone-mosaic floor and a wall of
windows overlooking the lagoon. The outdoor
waterfront terrace is popular in summer, and the
expertly mixed house cocktails are well worth
sampling.

Leoni Restaurant and the Londra Palace Hotel

Cafè Quadri
Restaurant
Choosing the Quadri signifies savouring the
fascination and elegance of the only restaurant
in St. Mark's Square and discovering the
vitality of Venetian life from the tables of its
Café under the 13th century porticos. The
colours, tastes and cosmopolitanism of the old
Venetian Republic have been captured for
centuries in Gran Caffè Ristorante Quadri, a
crossroads since the end of the 18th century
until present between the destinies of Venetians
and personalities sojourning in this
extraordinary city. Dreams sometimes come true
and at the Quadri, as you sip a cocktail to the
background music of its orchestra and the chimes
of St. Mark’s bells, you can admire the sight of
the most beautiful setting that human genius
ever built. The Quadri is a Café and restaurant
of refined culinary pleasures with a tradition
of graciously welcoming those international and
Venetian customers seeking quality cuisine and
service. Gran Caffè Ristorante Quadri is one of
the few restaurants in the world that can boast
the enduring charm of being unchanged despite
the passing of ages and fashions. So it is today
that, as you sit in these rooms worthy of an
aristocratic residence, looking out onto the
Square, you still feel the atmosphere of those
first cafés that changed the social habits of
Europeans between the twilight of the Venetian
Republic and the dawn of the modern age.
The ground floor rooms, with their distinctive
stucco decorated in pastel shades of light green
and yellow, were the natural backdrop for the
splendid paintings by Giuseppe Ponga. His scenes
of Venice followed the fashion of the time,
while his scenes of daily life in the manner of
Pietro Longhi adopted a truly personal style
although also reminiscent - especially in the
use of bright colours - of the great Tiepolo.
Two centuries later the entire world has changed
but not Venice, the Quadri and the pleasure of
meeting in an elegant, fashionable setting. The
Quadri is a way of feeling truly part of the
city, attracting as frequent visitors in bygone
eras the likes of Stendhal, Lord Byron,
Alexandre Dumas, Wagner and Marcel Proust and in
more recent times Gorbaciov, Mitterand, Woody
Allen and many actors from the Venice Film
Festival along with the "beautiful people" that
for centuries have chosen to meet in this
eternally fashionable spot.
Since 1775 Ristorante Quadri has symbolised the
highest standards in the finest Venetian
tradition. The suggestive outlook onto St.
Mark's Square makes Ristorante Quadri a must for
anyone visiting Venice and wishing to experience
the full fascination of this symbolic location.
The luxurious furnishings, immaculate service,
and cosy but elegant ambience all contribute to
making the Ristorante Quadri a unique and
exclusive place in Venice, perfect for special
occasions. The refined cuisine, featuring only
fresh products, is prepared with a skill by the
chefs that brings joy to even the most expert
palates.
Ristorante Quadri offers a refined cuisine using
only seasonal produce, combining the ingenious
inventiveness of great chefs with Venetian
tradition. The result is a blend of classic
flavours and natural products like baked ice
cream, a traditional Quadri recipe consisting of
amaretto mousse and almonds, topped with lightly
baked meringue, the favourite dessert of its
most devoted customers. The irresistible
pleasure of visiting the Quadri changes over the
year. Following the seasons and the city's
cultural and society events, it offers an
experience with ever changing accents.
During the periods of the Biennial, with its
annual alternation of Visual Arts and
Architecture, and during the Film Festival, the
Quadri becomes the preferred haunt of artists,
architects, writers, actors and journalists,
while throughout the year the Caffè regularly
hosts cultural events and exhibitions. The
Quadri's versatility allows it to combine
tradition and historic ambience with modern
living, offering on its first floor the romantic
emotions of an exclusive evening in the
restaurant overlooking the Square, and on the
ground floor the indiscrete charm of a coffee or
snack while watching Venice's comings and goings
from its windows.
Hotel All'Angelo erected in the seventeenth
century, was unveiled 1924 and now owned by the
Carrain Family.
Right from the start the hotel and its
restaurants have played a leading role in the
life of numerous Italian and foreign artists,
who used it as their meeting place to discuss
art and literature. Even today there is a taste
of art in the hallway and in the restaurant
where there are original paintings by Matisse,
Mirò, Guttuso, Braque, Santomaso, Vedova and
many other artists from the 900's.
In his 20st century inn, many artists of the
modern painting of the new art philosophy named
Fronte Nuovo, which was born in these rooms in
the 50s with the name of Fronte Nuovo, fixed
their cultural meetings in this elegant
restaurant of Venice, leaving to the owner many
works of art, displayed on the walls among
beautiful paintings of great contemporary
masters. An evening here is an invitation to
exercise all of your senses. The palate is
captivated by the sublime tastes of dishes that
reach perfection while the sight is fascinated
by the masterpieces hanging in the room
composing a rare decor. A well-known
International art critic, found the right words
to express this sensational (in the true meaning
of the word) experience. For him, the tuna
tartare with caviar is like a trace of
bitterness on a silk scarf, and the artichoke
soup evokes a nymph on the bank of a brook. The
cube of sautéed foie gras compares to a big grey
cat on a red velvet cushion. The blood orange
sorbet with its fine slices of oranges shines
like a joyous melody filled with sunshine and a
spring caress. A cuisine that can conjure such
pretty metaphors is worthy of the highest
rating.
The 1988 saw the last large scale reorganization
of the hotel that has brought about radical
change. The renovation work has restored the six
hundreds style to the building and the
structural work has brought about great
improvement combined with up to date technology
within European standards. The recent
re-structural work has enabled an expert
decorator to restore the precious beam work of
the ceilings dating back from the 600's.
The facade overlooks the brook that leads to the
Doges Palace, located in the heart of the city
near the best shops, museums, and full of charm
right behind St Mark's square that can be
reachable easily walking without crossing any
bridge.
The private landing gives the opportunity to
arrive directly in the Restaurant - All’Angelo
with private water taxi even going through the
Bridge of Sighs.
