Experts' Choice Award Al Fontego dei Pescatori
What the experts agree on
Former merchant warehouse turned elegant seafood spot where fresh fish shines in simple, locally-inspired dishes. Spacious dining rooms and enchanting garden seating make it feel special without pretension.
“This classy restaurant offers classic Venetian seafood with a slight twist (polenta with scallops, for example), but nothing too off-the-wall.”
