Venissa Il - VENEZIA

We were hoping to have a most memorable dining experience on our last night in Italy. It was memorable, but not in a good way. I hate giving bad reviews as I realize everyone has different tastes and preferences in food. But, like the previous review, we, and almost all other diners present that night, were shocked at the flavours of both the food and the wine. My husband, who is far from being a picky eater, struggled to consume both his and my food and drinks as I couldn't. And when we got the 600 euro bill at the end of the evening it was no longer amusing! Neither a gentleman at the next table nor I ate the food. Did no one working in the restaurant not notice this? I regret not mentioning my extreme dislike for the food and drink presented to us that evening, but it was impossible to do so quietly without disturbing the other patrons. Needless to say, all 9 of us who travelled over to the restaurant and back had much to say about our dining experiences.

A Special birthday treat that did not disappoint. The environmental cuisine approach was really on show with the excellent use of bluefish and blue crab, invasive species that need to be removed and created amazing tartar and pancake. The use of own grown vegetables and herbs in season was expertly deployed with the artichoke and seaweeds real standout on our evening. We decided to try the Venissa Estate wine and were not disappointed with a great similarity to an 'orange wine ' that went with our whole tasing menu. Sweet dishes used pine quite extensively which might not be to everyone 's taste, but we enjoyed the experience and difference. We would definitely return again and loved the buildings, ambience and whole concept and sustainability and really enjoyed our stay and meal experience.

Words can't describe how very special this dinner was. It was more than just a meal... it was an experience. So artistic, so thoughtful, so delicious! Thank you to the entire staff (and what a wonderful group of passionate, artistic people) for a most memorable meal! Amy and Andy Barth, Los Angeles, CA

Pranzo al ristorante davvero memorabile. cucina delicata e mai banale, perfetta abbinamento con il vino. posizione spettacolare. Ottimo lavoro.

Ho vissuto un’esperienza non una cena, il progetto che ruota attorno al Venissa deve essere d’ispirazione per molti. Quello che fanno Chiara e Francesco va oltre la cucina ed è unico oltre che eccezionale.
