Restaurant in Col San Martino, Italy
Family trattoria, Michelin value, Prosecco hills.
A Michelin Bib Gourmand trattoria in the Prosecco hills of the Veneto, Locanda da Condo has been run by the same family for generations and delivers honest, traditional Venetian cooking at €€ prices. The 2025 Bib Gourmand confirms what its 4.4 Google rating (358 reviews) already suggests: this is one of the strongest value-to-quality ratios in northern Italy.
If you are planning a meal in the Prosecco hills of the Veneto and want honest, deeply traditional Venetian cooking at a price that won't require justification, Locanda da Condo is the right call. It works particularly well for a long, relaxed lunch with a bottle of local wine, a celebratory dinner with family, or any occasion where you want a setting that feels earned rather than stage-managed. The Michelin Bib Gourmand — awarded in 2025 — is the clearest possible signal: this is a kitchen delivering quality well above what the price tier usually produces.
Locanda da Condo has been in the same family for generations, and that continuity shows in how the kitchen operates. Chef Giancarlo Polito runs a menu rooted in the gastronomic traditions of the Veneto, the kind of cooking that doesn't pivot with trends because it doesn't need to. The Bib Gourmand recognition from Michelin in 2025 confirms what regular visitors already know: the value-to-quality ratio here is difficult to beat in this part of northern Italy.
The setting reinforces the cooking's character. The dining rooms carry real warmth and accumulated personality rather than the polished neutrality of a designed restaurant. In summer, the veranda , draped in climbing plants , becomes the preferred option for most guests, offering a genuinely pleasant outdoor table in surroundings that suit the wine region it sits within. Col San Martino sits at the heart of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG zone, and the local wine list at a trattoria of this standing should reflect that geography directly.
The €€ price positioning means this is accessible without being cheap. You are paying for genuine regional cooking executed with consistency, not for a stripped-back version of something grander. That distinction matters: Locanda da Condo is not a budget fallback. It is a deliberate choice that happens to cost less than the alternatives.
Michelin's Bib Gourmand is awarded to restaurants offering good cooking at moderate prices , the specific threshold varies by market, but the intent is consistent: it identifies places where the kitchen is working at a level above what the price would suggest. For a family trattoria in a small Veneto hill town, holding this award in 2025 places Locanda da Condo in a narrow category of restaurants that deliver on both dimensions simultaneously. It is not a consolation prize for venues that missed a star; it is a recognition that the cooking genuinely warrants attention on its own terms.
The 4.4 Google rating across 358 reviews adds independent confirmation. That volume of reviews at that score points to a kitchen performing consistently rather than having a handful of exceptional nights surrounded by ordinary ones.
Locanda da Condo suits celebration meals well, precisely because it doesn't feel like a special-occasion restaurant in the self-conscious sense. The atmosphere is welcoming rather than formal, which means a birthday dinner or a family gathering feels natural here rather than performative. The multi-generational family setting gives the place a social ease that more recently opened restaurants take years to develop, if they develop it at all.
For couples, the veranda in summer is worth requesting specifically. For larger groups, the character of the dining rooms , described by Michelin as full of warmth and personality , provides a backdrop that holds a table of eight as comfortably as a table of two.
Reservations: Easy to secure , book ahead to guarantee the veranda in summer, but this is not a hard-to-get table by northern Italian dining standards. Budget: €€, making it one of the more accessible Bib Gourmand options in the Veneto. Dress: No formal dress code; smart-casual is appropriate and consistent with the trattoria setting. Location: Via Fontana, 134, Col San Martino, Treviso , in the heart of the Prosecco Superiore wine region. Getting there: Col San Martino is a small hill town most easily reached by car; it is not well-served by public transport. Leading timing: Summer lunch on the veranda is the peak experience; book early in the day to avoid the hottest afternoon hours.
A meal at Locanda da Condo pairs naturally with time spent in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene wine zone. For visitors building an itinerary around the area, see our full Col San Martino restaurants guide, our full Col San Martino wineries guide, and our full Col San Martino hotels guide for context on how to build the day around the meal. The Col San Martino bars guide and experiences guide are useful if you are spending more than a single day in the area.
For Venetian cooking in other contexts, Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli in Verona operates at a higher price point with a more formally structured menu. If you are exploring the broader northern Italian trattoria tradition, Dal Pescatore in Runate and Le Calandre in Rubano show where the €€€€ tier operates in the same regional conversation. For Venetian cooking outside Italy, March in Houston and La Caravella on the Amalfi Coast offer points of comparison across different settings.
Booking difficulty is low by the standards of Michelin-recognised restaurants in Italy. A few days' notice is usually sufficient outside summer weekends. If you want the veranda in July or August, book at least a week out to secure a table in that section.
Yes, clearly. The Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025 is specifically awarded to restaurants where the cooking quality outpaces what the price tier would lead you to expect. At €€, Locanda da Condo sits well below the cost of most Michelin-recognised dining in the Veneto, making the value case direct. Compare it against €€€€ options like Le Calandre in Rubano or Dal Pescatore in Runate , those are excellent restaurants, but you are paying three to four times as much for a fundamentally different kind of experience. Locanda da Condo wins on value without qualification.
The menu follows the gastronomic traditions of the Veneto, which means dishes built around regional ingredients and techniques. Specific menu items are not available in our data, so we won't invent them , but the Venetian kitchen in this region tends to feature freshwater fish, cured meats, polenta preparations, and seasonal vegetables. Ask the kitchen what is in season on the day; a trattoria of this standing and tenure will have a clear answer.
We don't have confirmed bar seating data for Locanda da Condo. As a family trattoria rather than an enoteca or osteria with a bar-forward layout, the expectation is that dining happens at tables. Contact the restaurant directly to confirm informal seating options.
It is a strong choice for celebrations that suit a warm, characterful setting rather than a formal one. The multi-generational family atmosphere and the veranda in summer give it a genuine sense of occasion without the stiffness of a starred restaurant. If your group wants ceremony and a long tasting menu format, look at Le Calandre or Osteria Francescana in Modena instead. If you want a meal that feels meaningful and unhurried without requiring a specific dress code or budget, Locanda da Condo is well-suited.
We have no confirmed data on whether Locanda da Condo operates a tasting menu format. The trattoria format and €€ pricing suggest the kitchen is more likely to offer à la carte or a short daily menu than a structured tasting progression. If a multi-course tasting format is what you are after, Le Calandre or Reale in Castel di Sangro are built around that format at the €€€€ tier.
At the same price tier in the Veneto, options are limited in Col San Martino specifically , it is a small town, and Locanda da Condo is the area's primary Michelin-recognised address. For a step up in ambition and price within the broader region, Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli in Verona is the natural next comparison.

How Locanda da Condo stacks up against the competition.
A few days to a week ahead is sufficient for most of the year. Summer is the exception: if you want a table on the climbing-plant veranda, book earlier to secure that spot. This is not a high-demand reservation by northern Italian standards, but it holds Michelin Bib Gourmand status for 2025, so weekend lunches in peak season fill faster than you'd expect.
Yes, clearly. The €€ price range combined with a Michelin Bib Gourmand award is the clearest signal available that this kitchen delivers more than its price suggests. Michelin awards the Bib specifically to restaurants where the cooking quality justifies spending what you spend — at Locanda da Condo, that verdict comes from a multi-generational family kitchen running traditional Venetian recipes under Chef Giancarlo Polito.
Specific dishes are not available in the current record, so a firm recommendation would be guesswork. What is documented is that the kitchen stays strictly faithful to Veneto gastronomic traditions — so expect preparations rooted in the region rather than creative departures. Ask the team on arrival what is in season; in a family trattoria of this type, the daily suggestions are usually the safest bet.
Bar seating specifics are not confirmed in the available data. Locanda da Condo operates as a traditional trattoria with dining rooms and a veranda, which suggests table-based service is the standard format. check the venue's official channels before arriving if bar or counter dining is important to your plans.
Yes, particularly if you want a celebration that feels grounded rather than performative. The welcoming dining rooms with character and the summer veranda create a convivial setting, and the Bib Gourmand recognition means the cooking holds up to scrutiny. At €€ pricing, it also avoids the financial pressure of a formal fine-dining blowout while still marking an occasion properly.
No tasting menu is confirmed in the venue data. Locanda da Condo is a trattoria faithful to Veneto tradition, which typically means a structured à la carte format rather than a chef's tasting sequence. If a set menu format is central to your plans, confirm availability when booking.
Dining alternatives within Col San Martino itself are not documented here, but the surrounding Conegliano Valdobbiadene zone has other options worth considering. For higher-end Venetian territory, Le Calandre near Padua is the regional benchmark with three Michelin stars, though at a very different price point. For a comparable value-driven experience elsewhere in Italy, Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull'Oglio holds Michelin recognition in a similarly rural, family-run setting.
