Ristorante Quadri

23 Best Restaurants in Venice

"Quadri's handful of tables pushed against tall windows overlooking St Mark’s square are some of the most sought-after in Venice. With front-row seats like these—nevermind the ones further back, in the plush, glassy interior designed by Philippe Starck—it'd be hard for any chef to convince diners to focus on the plate. But multi-Michelin-starred chef Massimiliano Alajmo succeeds. Alajmo was the youngest ever chef to earn three Michelin stars at Le Calandre, his family’s restaurant near Padua. At Quadri, his extraordinary creations materialize at the hand of his long-time collaborator, executive chef Silvio Giavedoni." - Anne Hanley
