The Glam Restaurant In Venezia

The restaurant is truly unique. Beautifully decorated, with an elegant atmosphere and only six tables. The staff deserves top marks. From the restaurant manager to the sommelier, right down to the waiters, I must say everyone has an impeccable attitude. They pampered us from start to finish, making our evening unique. The dishes on the Glam menu are all superb. The price is definitely worth the experience.

This was a superb dining experience - from the warmest of greetings on our arrival by boat by the delightful Elena, to the most relaxing experience sitting in the garden overlooking the canal with our aperitifs. The kitchen performed extraordinarily well, producing a series of thoughtfully orchestrated, beautifully presented, and diversely flavoured dishes. The fish and meat were perfectly cooked; succulent and well positioned to absorb their surrounding creative juices. We opted for the Arte, orti e laguna tasting menu. Drawing extensively on the natural resources of the lagoon and wider locality, this is a signature Venetian culinary experience. The wine pairing was carefully considered and well sourced, often from small Italian wine producers; I thank Augusto for his energising, yet empathetic and informed, suggestions - he is to be applauded. The desserts were strong, but did lack some of the high degree of ingenuity which was a hallmark of the previous courses. They are currently being rethought, and we can expect only the most surprising of delights going forward. However, this did not detract from the overall culinary enjoyment across numerous courses. And, beyond the quality of the ingredients and the cooking, this was simply the most fun we have had in a Michelin star restaurant - clearly down to the esoteric personality and bold confidence of the chef, Donato Ascani (no doubt to some extent empowered and inspired by Enrico Bartolini). We were actively encouraged to "play with our food" - hunting for foie gras wafers hidden in a rosemary bush, discovering our favourite sand smelt sauce, gathering up our utterly delicious sea snail piadini with our fingers - the piadini delicately rolled to resemble the most elegant of Moo Shu - and mopping up sauces with the restaurant's moreish freshly baked bread. The staff added to the enjoyment, complementing the highest level of professionalism with an ease of engagement. By far, the most exciting meal we have had in Venice. We will be back!

The generosity with which this place welcomes you is incredible: through the cast-iron gate, you enter a beautiful courtyard, then walk through the magnificent palazzo to linger in one of the few gardens directly on the Grand Canal! The cuisine and service are impeccable, making this the first address in the Serenissima.

Highly reccomended. Excellent ingredients, well combined in amazing dishes. Take your time for the meals, and come hungry [menu is long] Eccellente wine selection PS. Second visit: even better than the first one

By far, the most beautiful gastronomic experience we have ever had. Arriving a little early, we were invited to enjoy a drink on the back terrace before heading into the dining room, where, due to last-minute cancellations, we could have thought we had reserved the entire venue. The wine pairing orchestrated by the Maître d'hôtel & Sommelier is of rare quality, as is his presence. I highly recommend it; generous, with niche products, beautiful complexity, perfectly suited to the dishes. And all this for an excellent value for money given the service provided. The dishes were all (with one tiny exception) a true delight for the taste buds. And here again, we find, as in the wine selection, cuisine of finesse, a palette of flavors of rare quality. Everything was perfect, the occasions where I was able to praise a starred or non-starred establishment so highly over the last 10 years can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

An unforgettable evening at Glam di Enrico Bartolini - a Michelin 2-star gem that truly lived up to the hype. From the first bite to the last, every dish was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Not a single miss - and many absolute standouts. The service was warm, gracious, and attentive throughout. It was the most comfortable Michelin meal we've had. It felt like we can relax and be ourselves without the pretentious vibe and yet stay elegant! Compliment to the team and how welcoming they are to my daughter! My 7 year old daughter was treated like a princess with her own special pasta (which she said was the best pasta ever!) and dessert, and even got to meet the chef behind this extraordinary meal! One of the best Michelin meals we've ever had - refined, elegant, and full of delightful surprises. Already dreaming of coming back someday.

We visited Ristorante Glam in Venice for lunch and chose the classic tasting menu — and we were genuinely impressed. This is not just a meal, but a gastronomic experience where every course is crafted with precision. The cuisine blends tradition and creativity beautifully — nothing flashy, just deep, confident flavors and great respect for local ingredients. The seafood dishes were particularly memorable, and the pasta was delicate yet full of character. Wine was perfectly matched — each glass enhanced the dish, and the sommelier’s recommendations were spot-on: professional, low-key, and confident. We came during the day, and the dining room was bright and filled with natural light. It created an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere — refined but never stiff. Service was outstanding — attentive without being intrusive, with a natural sense of pace. And most surprisingly — we left full and satisfied! That’s not something you expect from fine dining. The portions, though refined, were generous and thoughtfully structured across the menu. Yes, it’s expensive. But the quality, creativity, and overall experience fully justify the price. If you view cuisine as a form of art, this is absolutely one of the must-visit restaurants in Venice — whether for a special lunch or dinner. Prise for 2 persons

An outstanding Michelin-starred restaurant in a quiet location, offering a beautiful view of the hotel's inner courtyard, which is beautifully landscaped with plants. The overall ambiance is very elegant yet cozy. The service is very attentive, friendly, and excellently trained. All dishes are beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. Some are modern interpretations, but fundamentally they are regional dishes made with the highest quality local ingredients. The aromas are outstanding, and the wine pairing was perfectly matched. For a special occasion, this is the perfect choice in Venice.

One of my favorite meals in Italy. Would go again. (Ottavio, I hope you like Albania!)

We visited glam for our anniversary and I’m afraid the experience wasn’t fully to our satisfaction. First off the room isn’t particulate pleasant - we were sat at an awkwardly large round table and had to move our chairs closer to be able to talk to each other. The room itself isn’t particularly pleasant with a wallpaper of questionable taste, where we’d expect a cosy and warm atmosphere this felt rather cold and sad. The service was fantastic but the dishes were hit and miss. At over €300 per person one expects perfection on all aspects and this wasn’t it.
