Terrazza Aperol

Situated in the lively Campo Santo Stefano, just a short stroll from the Accademia Bridge, Terrazza Aperol brings a refreshing and contemporary twist to Venice’s cherished aperitivo tradition. Launched by the Campari Group in 2021, this stylish venue celebrates the iconic Aperol Spritz while honouring the rich culture and craftsmanship of the city.

Occupying a beautifully restored historic Venetian palazzo, the space was designed by Vudafieri-Saverino Partners, merging modern aesthetics with traditional materials. Reclaimed oak from Venice’s lagoon, Murano glass pendants, and vibrant orange accents define its interiors. The bar features three key areas: a classic bacaro (Venetian-style wine bar), a sleek cocktail bar, and a spacious outdoor terrace offering views of the square and nearby canal.

Naturally, the Aperol Spritz takes centre stage—served with precision, style, and often accompanied by a plate of cicchetti (Venetian tapas). The menu also includes other spritz variations and non-alcoholic options, all paired with delicious bites like ossobuco meatballs, polenta squares, and marinated vegetables. Executive Chef Samuele Silvestri curates seasonal selections, blending tradition with innovation.

The relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to pause between sightseeing or meet friends for an early evening drink. With its open façade and warm interiors, the bar feels inviting year-round. Beyond drinks and food, Terrazza Aperol is also a space for cultural and social experiences. It frequently hosts cocktail-making classes, themed events, and culinary workshops. An interactive “Social Room” with a living green wall, selfie spots, and digital mirrors adds a fun, modern touch.

What sets this bar apart is its strong Venetian identity, not only in its design and menu but also through its commitment to local heritage. Sustainability plays a key role, with recycled materials used throughout and partnerships supporting traditional crafts and gondola restoration.

For those seeking a true taste of modern Venice without losing sight of its soul, Terrazza Aperol delivers in every sense. Whether you’re standing at the bacaro with locals or lounging on the terrace with a Spritz in hand, the experience is unmistakably Venetian—yet fresh, youthful, and entirely unforgettable.
