World cuisineLocals' pick

Chef Nico and Elisabetta run two menus here: 'Tradizione', with baccalà mantecato that earned the place a seat in the Dogale Confraternita del Baccalà, and 'Innovazione', where lagoon fish meets what Nico learned in Thailand. Gambero Rosso put it on its 2025 list of Venice restaurants that are not tourist traps.

Good to know

  • From the Innovazione menu: raw prawns or scampi in passion-fruit leche de tigre, crab wonton in lemongrass broth, the Thai-style prawn fish cake with tamarind caramel.
  • You can mix dishes from the two menus.
  • A few minutes from the station but quiet; Elisabetta's list has many organic and biodynamic wines.
