马可·波罗露台酒店

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

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

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.

Just a few steps from St. Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs, in a small square, Il Ridotto welcomes you with a colourful and warm atmosphere. The cuisine, based on territoriality and seasonality of products, will win you over. Not to be missed is the mouthwatering and fresh white chocolate dessert of bergamot, citrus and grapefruit.

Founded in a different venue by an Austrian soldier in the late 19C, this historic Venetian restaurant is now run by owner Maurizio, who oversees the front of house in a courteous yet friendly manner. He introduces guests to its variety of dishes, which aim to please rather than surprise. Fish specialities are to the fore here.

This restaurant, now one of the most popular bistros in Venice, started out as a typical Venetian “bacaro”. The cuisine focuses on traditional Mediterranean and Venetian dishes, including vegetables, many of which are grown in a kitchen garden on Sant'Erasmo island (Osti in Orto) – an initiative which sees a number of small restaurants coming together to grow and share produce. The menu changes in line with market availability. With just a few tables, booking well in advance is highly recommended.
