Queen House Venezia

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

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.

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

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.

Within the elegant Ca’ di Dio, in the beating heart of the Biennale, VeRo is an exclusive restaurant with contemporary flair. The cuisine reflects the chef’s soul: essential, personal, never predictable. Two tasting journeys, with freedom to choose between dishes and desserts, complete the experience.

Authentic family hospitality for this renowned restaurant, which makes niche products - mainly seafood - its flagship, even if some land specialties are always present on the menu. Almost all of the vegetables come from the Osti in Orto property garden on the island of Sant'Erasmo.

From its flooring to its tables, this restaurant has the charming, nostalgic feel of a typical trattoria in its simple dining room, while the outdoor space in an inner courtyard under a vine-shaded arbour is a charming place to eat in fine weather – a real gem right in the centre of Venice. The cuisine is as simple in style as the decor, with traditional Venetian fish and seafood dishes taking pride of place on the menu.
