A small paradise where cuisine meets the lagoon
A place where time passes more slowly and you are surrounded by the scents and tastes of the Venetian Lagoon. In our osteria contemporanea, you’ll find traditional dishes reinterpreted by our Michelin-starred chef, whose cuisine with modern twists provides new emotions.
Our goal is to offer high-quality food that varies according to the seasons and the chef’s creativity. Every ingredient has a meaning, and the recipes contain the many shades of the lagoon.
Our wine list is focused on “extreme wines,” those that challenge climatic conditions and grow their roots in improbable terrain, wines with unique tastes and perfumes that really make an impact. Wines like Venissa.
“Although you’re perfectly welcome to just come linger or dine at either the restaurant or osteria (it’s cheaper, less formal and equally exquisite) at Venissa, I do recommend staying.”
“Featured on Best Venice Adresses by Chef Jeremy Lee”
“Have the best lunch in Venice.
Way out on Mazzorbo is the completely
unexpected and extraordinary Venissa.”
“Some of the best restaurant are hidden away on the smaller island of the lagoon. Venissa is set in a bucolic vineyard on the island of Mazzorbo, complete with romantic crumbling bell tower.”
