A new culinary oasis on the private island of San Clemente.
The legendary Milanese restaurant and pizzeria, which over the decades has earned a reputation as a cult favorite (attracting celebrities and connoisseurs of fine Italian cuisine), has expanded its horizons.
The brand’s new location has opened in Venice, occupying a cozy spot on a private island.
This partnership combines Milan’s gastronomic tradition with the luxurious atmosphere of the historic Venetian lagoon.
The restaurant is located within the prestigious San Clemente Palace hotel complex.
The island of San Clemente is just a few minutes by boat from St. Mark’s Square, offering guests a unique getaway: an escape from the bustling tourist center to a peaceful green oasis.
Space: The restaurant seats approximately 120 guests and blends harmoniously into the island’s picturesque park and gardens.
Concept: A combination of a casual lunch, a relaxing aperitif, and an al fresco dinner.
Pool Bar: Complementing the restaurant is a stylish poolside bar offering direct service to guests enjoying time by the water.
The menu at the Venetian Le Specialità preserves the DNA of the original Milanese restaurant (open since 1977), while adapting to the local flavor and international demand:
Famous Pizza (Pizza Sharing):The brand’s hallmark is the concept of a communal dining experience, where pizza is served in a “sharing” format to be shared with other guests in the center of the table. The Milan location offers more than 50 pizza varieties (including gluten-free options).
Italian classics: guests’ favorite dishes cacio e pepe, carbonara, and a delicate eggplant parmigiana.
Signature Wines (San Clemente Wines): We take particular pride in our specially curated selection of Italian wines, notably the light and elegant sparkling wines Parleo Brut Prosecco and Parleo Zero Metodo Classico, which are ideal for an al fresco lunch. San Clemente Palace Venice
Cocktail Classics and Aperitifs: Since the venue is located in Venice, iconic Italian cocktails are a must from refreshing aperitifs, which are traditionally enjoyed on hot days or at sunset,
Le Specialità at the San Clemente Palace is designed for those who appreciate a casual yet sophisticated setting. There’s no pretension here: the concept is built around the ideaof the authentic Italianlifestyle, where food, long conversations at the table, good wine, and nature all come together.
Exclusive access: a ride to the island on the free shuttle boat from St. Mark’s Square turns an ordinary trip to a restaurant into a little romantic journey across the lagoon.
Privacy: Unlike the crowded cafes in central Venice, here you’ll find the tranquility of an historic park.
Versatility: The restaurant is perfect for a casual family lunch or an afternoon by the pool, as well as for a leisurely dinner at sunset.
