Our cuisine

Ristò Italia's cooking begins with what the Delta del Po produces each day: oily and white fish from the local market, mussels and clams from the Sacca di Scardovari lagoon, lagoon oysters and vegetables grown beyond the riverbank. Preparations remain deliberately simple — grilled, gently stewed or served with fresh handmade pasta — because excellent local produce needs no disguise.

Alongside fish, the menu includes meat dishes such as Tagliata d'Angus, boards of cured meats and cheeses, and oven-baked pizza for families and guests dining after a day on the embankments. The menu follows the seasons and the day's catch: oysters and shellfish in winter, grilled and cold dishes in summer.

Opening days and service times

  • Lunch: daily, 12:00–14:30
  • Dinner: daily, 19:00–22:30 (last orders at 22:00)
