Benedetta Fullin and her brother Luca decided to open LOCAL in 2015 in Venice Castello, the city where they grew up and to which they are deeply attached. The name Local is a pun - A term that wants to encapsulate the philosophy of territoriality that animates the project and at the same time, with a Venetian accent (Locàl), identify a place of meeting and sharing.
Located between San Marco Square and the Biennale of art, in a strategic position, Local today sees Benedetta Fullin and Manuel Trevisan at the helm - a couple in life and work, protagonists of a Venetian "revolution" within their restaurant, respectful of the tradition and of the gastronomic and hospitality history of the city, but aimed at finding a new and contemporary language.
Since the beginning the desire was to bring innovation into Venice, to stand out, to leave a new mark on the way of doing restauration. The transmission of memories is firmly established within a modern and current story.
At the helm of Local's kitchen since 2022 is Salvatore Sodano, a chef from Campania who arrived in Venice to bring his interpretation of the local dishes.
