Glam Enrico Bartolini

Creative, Contemporary · ★★ Michelin

€€€€

Set between quiet, narrow streets, the gate opens onto Palazzo Venart, one of Venice's most exclusive residences. This hotel has two gardens, one at the entrance and the other overlooking the Grand Canal, where guests can enjoy coffee and little cakes at the tables on the main floor of the building as a very elegant alternative. Meals, on the other hand, are served in a room where the papered walls tell the story of the Silk Route. The gastronomic journey at Glam is in the skilled hands of Donato Ascani, resident chef at the multi-starred Bartolini. Ascani's talent shines brilliantly in two ta

Wistèria

Modern Cuisine, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Nestled along the Rio de la Frescada, one of the numerous tranquil lateral canals, the modest entrance of Wisteria opens directly onto the outdoor area, enlivened by the eponymous wisteria under whose shade several tables are arranged when the season permits. Wisteria delights guests with dishes attuned to the seasonality of ingredients and the diverse offerings of the region: contemporary Venice’s gastronomic landscape through six or eight-course tasting menus. Highly recommended is the dessert with pumpkin, licorice, and almonds.

Quadri

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Il Quadri showcases traditional Venetian dishes interpreted with a contemporary twist by chef Sergio Preziosa, who focuses on ingredients from the lagoon, such as fish from its shallow waters, vegetables from SantʼErasmo island, shellfish and game in season. Ask the staff for wine recommendations and you’ll discover some unusual labels on the extensive and varied wine list, such as the Adega do Vulcão Ameixambar, a white wine from the Azores with mineral notes and great flavour – the perfect accompaniment to the rich, tasty cuisine served here.

Local

Contemporary, Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Modern and minimalist, with an open kitchen, Local is one of the best and most exciting restaurants in Venice, the result of the synergy between the extremely friendly owner, who works front of house, and talented chef, Salvatore Sodano. With a 7 or 9-course tasting menu, it is an experience not to be missed! Extraordinary wine cellar with almost a thousand labels, most of them Italian.

Oro Restaurant

Italian Contemporary, Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Housed within the Hotel Cipriani, one of Venice’s legendary hotels which is pleasantly located in a tranquil corner of Giudecca island, the round-shaped dining room at the Oro Restaurant boasts views of the lagoon and the lido. Here, chef Vania Ghedini from Ferrara serves an array of Moroccan dishes which bear witness to her professional past. Her Laguna dish is particularly striking thanks to its skilfully mixed flavours and delicate textures. The tasting menu is equally impressive and offers a good introduction to the chef’s cuisine, including dishes from the lagoon alongside a few light veg

Osteria da Fiore

Venetian, Traditional Cuisine

Among a labyrinth of alleys and canals, stands the trattoria Da Fiore, elegant and with a family atmosphere. The main hall warmly welcomes guests, while a romantic terrace hosts a table for two by the canal. The cuisine, true to the land, will allow you to enjoy fried moleche [soft-shell crabs] (when in season): an experience not to be missed! Last but not least, there is the wine cellar, which has a fine selection of the most sought-after French and Italian wines (about 800 labels). Equally impressive is the selection of grappas, cognacs and whiskies.
