Corte Sconta, detta Arcana

A hidden courtyard between Venice and the world

The Courtyard

Founded in 1980 by Claudio Proietto and Giampiero Tegon, Corte Sconta has become over the years a discreet landmark of contemporary Venetian cuisine.

Hidden within quiet Venetian streets, Corte Sconta is an intimate courtyard set apart from the city’s rhythm.

An authentic Venetian space, where light filters through aged walls and time slows, giving way to a rare sense of calm.

The Legend

Corte Sconta, detta Arcana, a place imagined by Hugo Pratt.
A hidden courtyard, conceived as a passage between worlds, where Corto Maltese would return after his travels, amidst silence and anticipation.

The Cuisine

Our cuisine is born from the vision of Claudio Proietto, deeply rooted in Venetian tradition.

The lagoon and the Adriatic, fish, vegetables, seasons, an essential cuisine, built over time, faithful to its location.

Alongside this identity, a more subtle exploration develops: a measured use of spices and contrasts that evoke distant routes.

A discreet nod to the world traversed by Corto Maltese, through ports, encounters, and unspoken influences.

Not a fusion, but a balance.

A cuisine that remains Venetian, yet open, like the city that surrounds it.

The Experience

At lunch, light slowly drifts across the courtyard.

By evening, the rhythm shifts again: quiet voices, candlelight, a softer pace.

Corte Sconta is not simply a place to dine, but a way to enter a more discreet Venice, if only for a few hours.

The Wine

A cellar shaped over time, between Venice and more distant routes.

Private Events

Corte Sconta welcomes private events in an intimate and discreet setting.

Lunches, dinners, and gatherings designed to be shared slowly, in the heart of a quieter Venice.
