Once a dodgy watering hole near Campo S. Polo, Da Fiore is now one of Venice's most famous and awarded eateries operated by local properties Mara and Maurizio Martin who oversee a 1-star Michelin kitchen often heralded as the best in town. A hushed dining room with elegant deco 20s styling sits under a dramatic arched ceiling is trimmed in shiny burl with terrazzo floors and arrangements of circular tables ideal for two to four guests.
The Food
Led by chef owner Mara Martin, an ingenious menu of the Veneto region offering a mix of savory dishes infused with local seafood and vegetables sourced from local markets. Famous dishes include bass in balsamic vinegar reduction, tuna with rosemary, spectacular homemade risottos and Venetian pasta dishes.
Last Word
1-star Michelin eatery by one of Italy’s top female chefs offers Venice address second to none. Recently, the chef’s son debuted his own pizzeria eatery called il Refolo on nearby Campiello del Piovan.
