Restaurants near Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute

Went for an all American Christmas dinner here while in Venice. From the appetizers of wings, spicy shrimp, and nachos then to our entrees of ribs, salmon noodle bowl, and classic burgers, we were stuffed. The portions were big that we couldn't finish our entrée. There was never ending refills coming our way as well. Our server Fabio and the rest of the staff were courteous throughout our dining experience.

We had a wonderful Christmas Day lunch at Gio’s. With stunning views in the sunshine across the Grand Canal to Saluté and San Georgio we had the most excellent service in these glorious surroundings. The food was first class. Delicate and full of flavour, beautifully presented. We could fault nothing.

Perfect ambiance for a special Christmas. Loved every minute. Beautiful hotel, excellent staff.

Interesting decorations where thousands of Aperol bottles on the selves give a warm orange hue in the restaurant. Staff courteous and professional. Excellent food. The Fegato (liver) alla Veneziana just as it should be. Tables a bit crowded Entrance door right next to some tables was left open be incoming/outcoming customers and an icy draft was present. Overall a memorable Christmas Eve dinner.

Such a great recommendation and so glad I went. It is pricey but as a Christmas treat it was worth every penny!! The staff were so friendly, the food was heavenly and general feel was so welcoming.
