About
Since 1979, Mara and Maurizio Martin have transformed an old Venetian tavern into one of the city’s most renowned restaurants.
Refined service and innovative gastronomic offerings have strengthened its reputation over the years.
Maurizio’s warm and welcoming style in creating a friendly, familiar atmosphere, together with the couple’s shared passion for hospitality, are key to the success of Ristorante da Fiore.
Along with their son Damiano, now the restaurant director, they continue to devote themselves with love to Venetian culinary tradition, making Ristorante da Fiore one of the most sought-after destinations for gourmets and travelers visiting Venice.
Wine Spectator described Da Fiore as the best restaurant in Venice. Patricia Wells ranked it fifth among the best restaurants in the world for its distinctive qualities.
Grand Gourmet wrote that the Martin family serves the finest fish in any Italian restaurant.
The New York Times referred to Mara Martin and her husband Maurizio as “the most gracious restaurateurs in the city of Venice.”
The wine glasses and tumblers used in our dining room are crafted by Vetreria Pisani, a Venetian artisanal excellence in glassmaking.
They are available for purchase online, allowing you to take home an authentic memento of your experience at Da Fiore.
