The Glam Restaurant In Venezia

I'm still thrilled by my experience at Glam. The location is stunning, the ideal setting for what I consider to be true Italian excellence. It was a sensory journey through traditional dishes that never taste stale, but instead resonate with an absolute contemporary feel. Each course is a surprise, aesthetically beautiful, but above all explosive in flavor. Ranking them is impossible because everything was exceptional, but the risotto and spaghetti with 'nduja and Fassona gave me moments of true happiness. The lamb liver was also absolutely superb, a display of mastery that was never dull. At every meal, the Chef amazed us and provided us with a rare taste experience; we returned home satisfied and deeply contented. Even the bill was a pleasant confirmation; given the quality and number of dishes served, the price was absolutely justified. Making everything perfect was the impeccable staff, professional and precise, yet at the same time kind and fun, making us feel at home, among friends. Special thanks to the restaurant manager, Ottavio Licitra Venditto, a wonderfully kind and professional, and to the lovely Elena Lanza (Restaurant Manager Supervisor), as well as to the entire staff. It was an honor to personally greet Chef Donato Ascani at the end of the meal to compliment him—an immense talent and exquisite kindness. A place of excellence I'll be talking about for a long time and will definitely return to. Bravo!

I think everything wonderful that can be said about Ristorante Glam has been said in the previous reviews, so I won't be repetitive and encourage anyone considering eating at Glam to read them. I'll go in the direction of "food as art" here, with the context being that it is art, for me, anyway, that replenishes and enriches our souls and spirit, and that endeavours to reach us at a deeply emotional level. My experience at Glam was that of experiencing an exquisitely curated exhibition of fine contemporary art, with the individual pieces solidly based in classicism. I realize I am probably coming off as pretentious - I don't mean to be - but my takeaway from lunching at Glam was that of having been to a fine museum or exhibition of artwork that blew my mind and moved me at an emotional level. It was that good. Something else that Glam gets perfectly is the presentation of the work(s). The best possible meal can be ruined by poor service; by that I mean service that is cold, or pretentious, aloof, or arrogant. Service is such an integral part of the dining experience, much like curation is integral to a successful showing of art. The service at Glam was professional, knowledgable, precise, elegant and, most importantly, warm and friendly. No pretence, no arrogance, no making you feel as though they're doing you a favour by serving you: I think it was the best service I have ever encountered in a restaurant, and I've eaten at hundreds if not thousands of great restaurants all around the world. So Glam gets a 10 out of 10 from me. I'm sure to return again (I'm lucky in that I live close by, in Florence), next time my soul is craving culinary replenishment and enrichment.

I went with the staff recommendations and had a wonderful culinary experience. The restaurant is also away from the very crowded areas which made it even more enjoyable.

The service was impeccable. The food was stunning to look at and exquisite to eat. Each course was very exciting to taste. Paired the meal with a bottle of Conterno Gattinara 2019. Like a culinary Andrea Bocelli concert. Best Easter meal ever. Highly recommend.

Everything about this restaurant is breathtaking. My wife and I eat at Michelin restaurants all over the United States and Europe. Glam is operating on the level of a 3-star restaurant.

A true 2-star experience, just as you'd expect! First of all, the setting is magical and magnificent. The service is extremely friendly and attentive; all our requests made beforehand were acknowledged, communicated, and respected. And the meal was so generous that we couldn't even have the last dessert. The dishes were beautifully presented and truly delicious. A wonderful experience.

We returned to this restaurant last night , having dined here in 2025 and it was EVEN BETTER than last year! The dishes are even more exquisite to look and and to taste, and the staff make you feel welcomed and special. The words I wrote last year are still absolutely correct...... "This restaurant provided us with a magical experience. The restaurant looks gorgeous with a beautiful garden outlook. Every element of the crockery, cutlery, glassware and linens is carefully selected for maximum visual appeal. The service is warm, personal and exceptional. Every effort is made to make the guest feel appreciated- we are gluten free and this was accommodated superbly. The food is spectacular- in presentation AND taste. Not just clever but truly delicious. Every dish creates the desire to lick the plate clean!!! I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We enjoy fine dining but sometimes a Michelin star restaurant can be disappointing. Glam puts the M into Michelin!!!"

Superb dining experience. Glam does an excellent job of providing world class service and food without overdramatizing or making the environment pretentious. The attention to detail was truly impressive from the 5-6 table dining room to following up about reservations and our preferences we felt cared for each step of the way. I could go on and on about how their team went out to their way to make our experience special for brevity just know no stone was unturned. The food was just as good. Not every dish was for me, as to be expected with an experience menu, that said it was all carried out well. I would recommend Glam to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious dining experience. This is not an inexpensive option by any means, but if you can stomach the price it is truly exceptional.

It's one of the most spectacular Michelin-starred restaurants I've ever been to! We were amazed at every course. Each bite was like an elixir. IMPRESSIVE!! We'll be back

Lunch was nothing short of perfect, the location was splendid and evocative, the dishes were absolutely fantastic and the staff were excellent, well done!!
