In a city that runs almost entirely on fish, Vini da Arturo chooses to serve meat and pasta instead. The tiny San Marco dining room – wood-panelled, walls dressed with drawings and photographs – has been turning out the same menu for over fifty years. The signature is the braciola all'Arturo, an enormous double-breaded pork chop finished with sharp wine vinegar.

Founded in 1936 this is a cosy wine bar with an extensive wine list. Order a glass of wine, or two, along with some yummy "ombre e cicchetti" and settle in for the afternoon, or for the evening. 

A truly sumptuous intimate hotel with old-world charm & impeccable service. Situated in the former Palazzo Papadopoli perched at the edge of a canal, the rooftop bar is one of the prettiest to view a sunset in the city. 

For a piece you'll wear for years to come, visit Antonia Miletto's intimate Venetian atelier. Working instinctively with gold, wood and natural stones, she creates sculptural pieces that feel both contemporary and timeless, celebrating the quiet beauty of raw, honest materials.
