While Venice may be home to exquisite palazzi and world-class art exhibits and museums, it boasts a list of Michelin-starred restaurants, mainly located around the historic center. Here is a quick list of just some of the finest establishments proud to call Venice their home, and that await you for truly unforgettable dining experiences.
At Wistèria, the canal-view terrace – reason enough to spend an evening at this fine establishment – accompanies the philosophy of two of the city’s restaurant stars, Andrea Martin and Massimiliano Rossetti. They are credited with creating a little gem in the shade of a wisteria, from which it takes its name, with an at-times exotic cuisine that carries you on a journey through flavors from around the globe.
Oro Restaurant, a gold standard among Venice’s starred restaurants. It’s worth the trip if only for the view you will be faced with as soon as you disembark at Giudecca. Come here to be graced by the class of the legendary Hotel Cipriani, the technically impeccable cuisine by chef Davide Bisetto, and the pure excellence of the ingredients that come right from the restaurant’s own vegetable garden.
Local, the contemporary version of the Venetian osteria, where the menu expertly intersperses local products with oriental and international inspirations. Their unique offerings are made possible thanks to the philosophy of the two hosts, Benedetta and Luca Fullin, and chef Matteo Tagliapietra. Dishes and cicchetti are interspersed in a unique format and served in a setting which is pleasant, fun, and relaxing all at the same time.
Gran Caffè Quadri, one of the most beautiful establishments in the world and also one of the oldest in Italy, opened in 1775 under the Procuratie Nuove when Venice was the coffee capital of the world. Since 2011, Massimiliano Alajmo, a star of Italian cuisine, has been the mastermind behind the menu right in the heart of the city: St. Mark’s Square.
Venissa was born to celebrate beauty; it is impossible to say which is most spectacular: the cuisine, the ambiance, or the atmosphere. Elegance, class, and style in every detail. This is Venice reflected in a restaurant.
Glam, the city’s only two-star restaurant opens at Palazzo Venart and enjoys a splendid open space directly on the Grand Canal, along with a second, more intimate and reserved dining space. The dreamy location accompanies a cuisine expertly curated by one of the greatest chefs worldwide, Enrico Bartolini.
When it comes to fine dining, Venice offers these and many more to satiate the most demanding of palettes.
Yet another reason to find your perfect home here: the finest flavors and best chefs from around the world right on your doorstep.
