Attention to detail and dedication to service come together to offer both Italian and international guests an outstanding gastronomic experience, rooted in tradition.
The kitchen
Identity and passion
The kitchen offers dishes from the classic Venetian tradition, made unique by a careful selection of quality ingredients and a creative, contemporary reinterpretation. A menu based primarily on fish, without overlooking alternatives capable of satisfying every palate.
Alongside the authentic flavours of the lagoon, the cuisine stands out for its original pairings and refined presentations, designed to enhance every ingredient without ever betraying its essence.
Special attention is also dedicated to freshly prepared vegan cuisine, an increasingly appreciated philosophy that celebrates the use of plant-based ingredients, without compromising on taste, creativity or quality. The restaurant offers a complete vegan menu, from starter to dessert.
A gastronomic journey that tells the story of Venice, interpreted with contemporary sensibility, and invites each guest to live a unique experience between tradition and innovation.

The experience is complemented by a well-curated wine list, where carefully selected labels meet bottles of absolute excellence.
The selection is designed to complement every dish, from classic fish courses to vegan creations, offering pairings capable of enhancing the flavours and making every tasting even more special, also thanks to the support of qualified front-of-house staff.
THE DESSERT.
"...at Mario alla Fava, dessert becomes a sensory experience."
All desserts are homemade with artisan care and freshly made “express” to surprise with freshness and goodness.

Одно из немногих действительно стоящих мест для ужина.Pubblicato su Brian HeplerTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. We had a wonderful lunch here after one of the waiters took pity on a pair of tourists waylaid by Google maps. Lunch was excellent and service was exceptional. THE BEST place for people watching, as everyone comes by and takes the wrong turn then turns around to go the other way.Pubblicato su Joe DodsonTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.

If you are looking for fresh, masterfully prepared seafood that tastes as good as it looks, this place is an absolute must-visit. From presentation to flavor, everything was flawless. The Antipasto We started with an incredible seafood platter featuring perfectly tender octopus salad served over fresh greens, accompanied by scallops served right in their shells. The scallops were sweet, delicate, and drizzled with high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs—the ultimate fresh start to the meal. The Main Event: For the main course, we had beautifully grilled whole fish (orata) cooked to absolute perfection. The skin was wonderfully crisp, the meat was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and it paired beautifully with a side of perfectly al dente spaghetti tossed with fresh cherry tomatoes, garlic, and olive oil. The ingredients are clearly top-tier, and the kitchen knows exactly how to let the natural flavors of the seafood shine without overpowering them. Simple, elegant, and phenomenally delicious. We will absolutely be back!Pubblicato su chenyi zhengTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. 很好吃Pubblicato su Chloë PeekTrustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google.
