Restaurant Venissa is a viticultural recovery and sustainable hospitality project on the island of Mazzorbo, in the most pristine part of the Venice lagoon – Veneto. Hosted inside the heart of the estate, in the atmospheric old cellar room, Ristorante Venissa will have you live a culinary experience bound to the territory and the ingredients of Native Venice – wild herbs from the barene, vegetables from the estate’s gardens and lesser fish and seafood of the lagoon and Adriatic.
The cuisine of chefs Chiara Pavan and Francesco Brutto, also known as “cucina ambientale”, is a tale that captures the lagoon landscape and its flavours while also being attentive to the environment. Chiara and Francesco deals directly with the garden products and have an ethical and sincere approach to the value of food. The commitment of Ristorante Venissa towards sustainable practices has been awarded with the Green Michelin Star.
At Ristorante Venissa, you can choose between a seven-course or a ten-course tasting menu. The wine pairing and wine list are made of bottles produced by artisan winemakers that work in a non-conventional way. The new Chef’s Table, hosting up to five guests, offers a shared yet exclusive experience in close connection with the Chefs.
