Kosher Restaurants in Venice
Venice's Jewish Ghetto in the Cannaregio district, established in 1516, is the oldest ghetto in the world and remains the heart of the city's Jewish life, centered on the Campo del Ghetto Nuovo and its synagogues and museum. The kosher scene here is small but genuine, clustered within a few minutes' walk of the Guglie Bridge and Santa Lucia station. It is supported by the Jewish Community of Venice and by Chabad of Venice, which caters to both local Jews and the many Jewish travelers passing through.
All kosher eateries sit inside or beside the Ghetto in Cannaregio, an easy walk from the train station. Chabad of Venice runs Gam Gam and arranges reserved Shabbat meals (three meals, pre-order only) for visitors, while the community's Ba'Ghetto observes Shabbat and holidays. Confirm hours before Shabbat and book Shabbat meals in advance.
