The story
Ristorante Famiglia Rana sits in Ca' degli Oppi, a quiet corner of the Veneto, and carries a name that speaks to roots and tradition. The Rana family's connection to Italian food culture runs deep, and the restaurant stands as a direct expression of that heritage — a place where Italian cuisine is taken seriously, from the kitchen to the cellar.
In 2019, Wine Spectator awarded the restaurant its prestigious Best of Award of Excellence, a distinction reserved for wine lists that demonstrate exceptional depth, breadth, and thoughtful curation. For a restaurant rooted in the traditions of northeastern Italy, this recognition is a natural extension of the table: food and wine here are understood as inseparable. The Veneto is one of Italy's most storied wine regions, and a cellar earning this level of international attention reflects genuine commitment to that conversation.
Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the setting in Oppeano offers something increasingly rare — a place where Italian cuisine is served with the weight of family history behind it, not as a concept but as a lived practice. The recognition from Wine Spectator confirms what guests who make the trip already know: this is a destination that rewards the journey.
