艺术公寓 - Artistic flat in front of GUGGENHEIM COLLECTION

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.

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.

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.

Situated behind the Guggenheim museum, this rustic restaurant with wood panelling on the walls offers a meat-based menu that focuses on traditional, regional cuisine (the braised rack of lamb with spinach tortino with butter and parmesan cheese is superb). The well-stocked wine cellar is home to a huge selection of white, red and sparkling wines, plus there’s an extensive choice of cocktails. At Ai Gondolieri, enjoy a good glass of wine accompanied by typical Venetian fare such as cured hams and sweet-and-sour vegetables.

Boasting a splendid location with an outdoor dining space on a kind of raft-cum-platform, this restaurant boasts one of the most delightful views in Venice, with the Giudecca on the opposite side of the canal. Contemporary cuisine with a focus on fish and the occasional creative twist.

A family-run “gastrosteria” hidden in a small Venetian courtyard, with a modern and elegant decor dominated by beige and black tones. Full of exciting and imaginative flavours, the modern meat and fish dishes prepared by promising young chef Nadia Locatello make a change from the typical specialities of the region.
