Restaurant in Roncade, Italy
Seasonal produce, river setting, easy booking.
A Michelin Plate-recognised country restaurant on the Sile river in Roncade, run by the Alajmo family behind Le Calandre. At €€€, it delivers produce-led, seasonal Veneto cooking in a rural riverside setting that no Venice restaurant can match for atmosphere. Book ahead, bring a car, and go for a special occasion lunch when you want something rooted in the region.
Le Cementine holds a 4.6 Google rating across 401 reviews, which for a rural restaurant in Roncade — a small town on the banks of the Sile river, minutes from the Venetian lagoon , is a meaningful signal. This is not a destination that benefits from tourist overflow or city foot traffic. Every diner here is making a deliberate choice to come. The question is whether that choice is worth it for you.
The short answer: yes, if you want serious regional cooking in a genuinely rural setting, at a price point (€€€) that sits below what you would pay for comparable ambition in Venice or Treviso. The Michelin Plate recognition in both 2024 and 2025 confirms the kitchen is operating at a level Michelin considers worth noting , not yet starred, but consistently producing food that merits attention.
Run by the Alajmo brothers , the family behind the three-Michelin-starred Le Calandre in Rubano , Le Cementine occupies a different register entirely. Where Le Calandre operates at the summit of Italian fine dining, Le Cementine is a rustic, vintage-style country restaurant that leans into the Veneto's agricultural identity. The setting overlooks a vegetable garden, a vineyard, and open green meadows along the Sile. The cuisine draws on seasonal, regional ingredients, with vegetables taking a prominent role alongside meat and fish.
This is country cooking in the Italian sense: produce-led, locally rooted, and tied to what the land and river around it actually yield. The Alajmo connection matters because it brings operational discipline and sourcing relationships that most rural trattorie cannot match. You are not eating at a family trattoria that stumbled into a Michelin listing. You are eating at a project run by people who know exactly what they are doing at this price point.
Roncade is not a place people pass through. It sits in the flat agricultural plain between Treviso and the northern edge of the Venetian lagoon , easy enough to reach from Venice (roughly 20 kilometres northeast), but not on any conventional tourist circuit. Le Cementine is the kind of restaurant that anchors this area as a destination worth visiting on its own terms. The vegetable garden visible from the dining room is not decorative; it connects directly to what appears on the plate. In late autumn and winter, that means root vegetables, preserved produce, and the slower, richer preparations that suit the season. In spring and summer, the garden and the surrounding farmland shift the menu toward lighter, fresher material.
If you are staying in or around Venice and want a day that takes you away from the crowds without requiring a long drive, the combination of the Sile river landscape, the Roncade area, and a lunch at Le Cementine is a coherent itinerary. See our full Roncade restaurants guide, Roncade hotels guide, and Roncade experiences guide for planning context. There are also wineries and bars worth adding to the day.
At €€€, Le Cementine sits in the range where a meal feels considered rather than casual. The rural setting , meadows, a vineyard, a river nearby , gives it a natural suitability for celebrations that want atmosphere without the formality of a city fine-dining room. A birthday lunch or an anniversary dinner here reads as thoughtful rather than performative. The Michelin Plate credential gives the meal an objective quality anchor that makes it easier to justify as a special occasion choice.
For comparison, if your priority is maximum culinary prestige in the region, Le Calandre is the Alajmo family's flagship and operates at a different level of technical ambition. If you want a special occasion meal that is grounded in place and season rather than theatrical technique, Le Cementine is the more honest choice for the setting it offers.
Other Veneto-adjacent options worth knowing: Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli in Verona offers a more urban fine-dining environment, while Enrico Bartolini in Milan and Piazza Duomo in Alba represent the broader northern Italian fine-dining tier if you are planning a wider itinerary.
Booking difficulty is rated easy. There is no phone number or website in our current data, so reservations are leading made via direct research or through your hotel concierge if you are staying locally. Given the 401 reviews and the Michelin recognition, it is sensible to book ahead rather than arrive speculatively, particularly for weekend lunch, which is likely the busiest service at a country restaurant of this type. The address is Via Sile, 6, 31056 Roncade TV, Italy. A car is the practical choice for getting here; Roncade is not well-served by public transport from Venice or Treviso.
For country cooking comparisons elsewhere in Italy, see 21.9 in Piobesi d'Alba and Andrea Monesi - Locanda di Orta in Orta San Giulio , both operate in the same country-cooking register and offer useful benchmarks for what this style of dining can deliver at its leading.
Le Cementine earns its Michelin Plate recognition and its 4.6 rating through consistent, produce-led cooking rooted in one of Italy's most agriculturally rich regions. At €€€ with Alajmo family involvement and a setting that is genuinely tied to its landscape, it offers better value than most comparable options inside Venice. Book it for a special occasion lunch if you have access to a car, appreciate seasonal vegetable-forward cooking, and want a meal that feels specific to where you are rather than interchangeable with any city restaurant. If you need starred cuisine or urban convenience, look elsewhere. If this description fits your trip, book it.

A quick look at how Le Cementine measures up.
No confirmed tasting menu format is documented for Le Cementine, so assume the offer is à la carte or set-menu country cooking rather than a formal omakase-style progression. At €€€ pricing, the value case rests on seasonal, produce-led dishes rooted in Veneto ingredients — vegetables, meat, and fish in a rural setting on the Sile. If you want a structured tasting format from the Alajmo family, Le Calandre in Rubano is the three-Michelin-starred address for that.
At €€€, Le Cementine is priced for a considered meal rather than a casual lunch stop. It holds a Michelin Plate (2025) and a 4.6 Google rating across 401 reviews — for a rural restaurant in Roncade, that consistency matters. The Alajmo brothers' involvement signals kitchen seriousness, and the setting adds genuine atmosphere. If you are comparing per-head spend, this delivers more context and produce focus than most similarly priced trattorias in the Treviso plain.
Yes — the combination of a vineyard, vegetable garden, river views, and Alajmo-family cooking makes this a credible choice for a birthday, anniversary, or celebratory lunch. The €€€ price point signals occasion dining without the formality of a starred room. Book ahead; this is not a walk-in venue for a group with a date in mind.
Nothing in the available data rules it out, but a rural country restaurant with a strong emphasis on setting and seasonal sharing plates tends to be better suited to two or more diners. At €€€, solo dining here is feasible if you are specifically seeking the Alajmo-family cooking in a quieter register than Le Calandre — but it is not a counter-seat or bar-dining format that actively accommodates solo guests.
Bar seating is not documented in the available data for Le Cementine. As a country restaurant on the Sile river, the format appears to be table service in a full dining room rather than a bar or counter option. Confirm directly when booking.
Booking difficulty is rated easy, which suggests the restaurant can handle advance group reservations without the waiting-list friction of a starred city venue. The rural setting — with outdoor gardens and meadows — is well suited to larger parties for a celebratory meal. check the venue's official channels to confirm group minimums or private space options, as that detail is not in the current data.
There are no other documented Pearl-listed venues in Roncade itself. For Alajmo-family cooking at a higher register, Le Calandre in Rubano (three Michelin stars) is the direct family comparison. For seasonal Veneto country cooking at a similar price tier, look at agriturismo dining around Treviso or the Prosecco hills. Le Cementine is the primary destination in its specific format and location.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
