Ristorante Poesia is the gastronomic heart of Hotel Picobello Pineta. An elegant and welcoming setting where Venetian and Italian cooking come into their own, with dishes prepared using the best seasonal ingredients.
Cooking with care.
Here every dish tells a story. The sea bass that arrives fresh from the fish market each morning. The vegetables grown in the market gardens of the Venetian countryside. Handmade pasta, just as tradition demands. The chef and his team work to bring genuine flavours to the table, the kind that remind you why the Veneto is one of Italy’s great food regions.
Ristorante Poesia is where you dine throughout the day during your stay at Hotel Picobello Pineta.
Each morning starts with a generous breakfast that gives you the energy to make the most of a day at the beach or out cycling along the paths of Jesolo.
At lunchtime, if you prefer to stay at the hotel, the resto-bar on the newly renovated terrace serves pasta dishes, main courses, hearthy salads, light summer plates and pizza.
In the evening, an à la carte dinner awaits, featuring the classic dishes of the Venetian tradition.
Everything revolves around one simple principle: quality ingredients, cooking that lets them shine, authentic flavours that remind you why eating well is one of life’s great pleasures.
Freshly caught Adriatic fish, vegetables from Venetian kitchen gardens picked at just the right moment, carefully selected meat. The kind of cooking where you can tell that every dish is the result of care and thoughtful choices.
If you have any intolerances, allergies or particular dietary preferences, simply let us know at the time of booking or speak directly to our staff. We will prepare dishes tailored for you, with the same care and attention we give to every guest.
The day begins at Ristorante Poesia with a generous, plentiful breakfast buffet. The kind of breakfast where you will find everything you need to start the day well, where you can choose between sweet and savoury, where nothing is left to chance.
A sweet start
On the sweet table you will find freshly baked croissants with the scent of butter, homemade cakes that change every day and artisan biscuits. There are cereals, muesli and puffed rice cereals for those who prefer something lighter. A selection of jams, local honey, butter. Freshly cut seasonal fruit, dried fruit and yoghurt.
For those who prefer savoury
The savoury table offers white and wholemeal bread, crackers, a selection of cold cuts and cheeses. Scrambled eggs are served hot, freshly made to order. The kind of breakfast where you can put together your plate exactly as you like, go back for more of what you enjoyed and take your time sitting down in peace.
Hot and cold drinks
Coffee, cappuccino, caffè latte, hot chocolate, a selection of teas and fruit juices. All included in your stay.
The terrace at Hotel Picobello Pineta has been completely renovated and has become one of the most pleasant spots in the hotel. Surrounded by greenery, cool and shaded, away from the heat of the beach. This is where you can stop for a light lunch when you feel like something quick and easy.
Designed for those coming back from the beach
The light lunch is designed for guests returning from the beach who want a meal that satisfies without weighing them down. Fresh salads made with seasonal ingredients: ripe tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, crisp vegetables and simple dressings that bring out their natural flavours.
Venetian pasta dishes prepared to order: pasta with clams, asparagus risotto in spring, spaghetti with fresh tomato in summer.
Pizza made to order with light dough and fresh ingredients.
Quick, carefully prepared dishes where the quality of the ingredients makes all the difference.
The daily specials
The daily specials change according to what the chef finds at the market. It is the same kitchen team that prepares dinner in the evening, but in a more informal and relaxed style. The same level of attention, the same respect for the produce.
The terrace
The terrace is the perfect place for this kind of break: you sit down, order,enjoy something good to eat, rest for half an hour and then carry on with your day. The bar is always open for a coffee, a cold drink or an aperitif.
In the evening, Ristorante Poesia opens for dinner and the atmosphere shifts. The elegant dining room welcomes you with a generous buffet of fresh seasonal vegetables waiting at the entrance: tomatoes, courgettes, aubergines, peppers, a variety of mixed salads, grilled vegetables.
All fresh, all prepared that day. Help yourself to as much as you wish, then take your seat and order from the à la carte menu.
The menu features meat and fish dishes, always with a nod to Venetian and Italian tradition.
Traditional first courses
The pasta and risotto dishes follow the culinary traditions of the region: bigoli with sardines, a Venetian classic where handmade pasta meets the deep flavour of salt-cured sardines. Fish risotto, creamy and full of flavour, made with homemade stock. Pasta with clams, where the freshness of the shellfish makes all the difference. Tagliatelle with ragù, for those who prefer meat. Every dish tells something of the Veneto, its culinary history, its traditions.
Fish from the Adriatic
The fish comes fresh from the Adriatic: sea bass, sea bream, squid, prawns, cuttlefish. The preparations are simple, designed to bring out the freshness of the produce. Fish is grilled, baked or pan-fried, with accompaniments that complement rather than overpower.
Carefully selected meat
The meat is chosen with care: cuts of beef cooked to perfection, tender poultry, pork prepared according to traditional recipes. Precise cooking, authentic flavours, the utmost respect for the produce.
Seasonal side dishes
The side dishes change with the seasons: grilled vegetables in summer, when the markets are full of courgettes, aubergines and peppers. Roast potatoes in winter, crisp on the outside and soft within. Fresh salads throughout the year, made with the finest that the season has to offer.
Service
The service is attentive and discreet. Dishes arrive at the right moment, hot and freshly prepared. The staff are on hand to offer recommendations if asked, to explain the ingredients or suggest pairings. But they also know when to step back, to let you eat at your own pace and enjoy the conversation at your table. The kind of dinner where you relax, talk and savour the food without any rush.
