Le Beccherie

Should You Book Le Beccherie?

If you are choosing between a direct trattoria in Treviso's centro storico and a restaurant that has genuinely evolved its identity, Le Beccherie is the stronger call. Where most of its €€ neighbours on the Treviso dining circuit play it safe with classic Venetian cooking, Le Beccherie sits at €€€ and delivers something more considered: a tasting menu format, a room that has been redesigned with purpose, and a kitchen that treats regional heritage as a starting point rather than a ceiling. The Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 confirms it is operating at a level above casual neighbourhood dining, even if it has not yet crossed into starred territory.

The Venue: What Has Changed and Why It Matters

Le Beccherie has been part of Treviso's food identity since 1962, but the version you will book today is meaningfully different from the one that made its name. The room has been redesigned into what the kitchen's own framing calls a "designer-style bistro": a shift that signals the owners are not trading on nostalgia alone. The atmosphere is contemporary without being cold, and the most requested tables are those that overlook the canal. If you are booking for a special occasion or want a room with a sense of place, ask for a canal-side table when you reserve.

The kitchen is now led by chefs Beatrice Simonetti and Manuel Gobbo, and their arrival represents the clearest marker of Le Beccherie's recent evolution. The cooking pulls from the territory around Treviso and the wider Veneto, but the execution has a creative edge that separates it from the more conservative trattorias in the same price bracket. Risotto alla Cima is documented as the restaurant's signature dish and appears across multiple reliable references as the thing to order if you are eating à la carte. Tiramisù, which Le Beccherie is historically associated with as one of the dish's claimed points of origin in Treviso, remains on the menu.

The Tasting Menus: Which One to Choose

Two tasting menus are available. The "We" menu collects the dishes that Simonetti and Gobbo consider most representative of their current cooking: this is the right choice if you want to understand what the kitchen is doing now. The "Beccherie 1962" menu is a more deliberate act of homage, revisiting the historic dishes of the restaurant with a modern reinterpretation. For a first visit, "We" gives you the fuller picture of where the kitchen is headed. "Beccherie 1962" rewards a return visit or works well for a guest who already knows the restaurant's older identity and wants to see how it has been reconsidered.

At €€€ tier, expect tasting menu pricing to sit above what you would pay at the €€ alternatives in Treviso, but within range of what Michelin Plate restaurants in comparable Italian cities typically charge.

Private Dining and Group Bookings

What the venue's format does suggest, however, is that groups booking for a special occasion or a celebratory meal are better served here than at the more casual €€ options in Treviso. The tasting menu structure works well for groups where everyone is eating together and decisions about the meal can be made collectively. Canal-side tables, which are the most atmospheric in the room, are likely to be in demand for exactly this kind of occasion booking, so request them early and confirm at the time of reservation rather than assuming availability. For larger private groups requiring a dedicated room, it is worth calling ahead directly to ask whether the restaurant can accommodate a semi-private arrangement, this is standard practice at restaurants of this format in Italy.

How It Compares in Treviso

Against the €€ tier in Treviso, Le Beccherie's €€€ pricing is the main decision point. Il Basilisco and med both operate at €€ and offer solid regional cooking without the tasting menu format or the design investment of Le Beccherie. If budget is the primary concern, either of those is a reasonable choice. If you want a meal that has been structured with some editorial intent behind it, a kitchen with a point of view, a room that has been thought about, recognition from Michelin, then the extra spend at Le Beccherie is justified.

Antico Morer at €€ is the pick for seafood-focused eating. Feria at €€€ offers Indonesian cooking, which occupies an entirely different category. Pierre - Trattoria Sartoriale is worth noting as a modern cuisine option at €€ if you want creative cooking at a lower price point.

For context on where Le Beccherie sits in the wider Italian fine dining picture, it is operating well below fully starred restaurants like Osteria Francescana in Modena or Uliassi in Senigallia, but it is doing something more serious than a neighbourhood trattoria. Think of it as a confident regional restaurant that has earned its Michelin Plate and is building toward more.

Practical Details

Reservations: Easy to book; no evidence of significant wait times, but canal-side tables are worth requesting in advance. Budget: €€€, tasting menus available alongside à la carte; confirm current prices when booking. Dress: Smart casual is appropriate given the redesigned room and price point; formal attire is not required but sloppy dress would be out of place. Location: Piazza G. Ancilotto, 9, central Treviso, walkable from the main historic area. Leading for: Special occasions, food-focused travellers wanting Veneto regional cooking with a creative angle, and anyone who wants to order tiramisù with some historical credibility behind it.
