Brilliant Michelin-starred restaurant on Mazzorbo, just a short walk across a bridge away from the crowds and so-so eateries of Burano. Great service and wonderful food, enjoying wine from the vineyard that we were overlooking from the terrace of their "Osteria". A most excellent lunch was had.

One of the best concepts I've ever seen at a restaurant. Loved the fact that they serve the invasive species of the Venice lagoon.

As a couple or with epicurean friends. The place is exceptional and the service is of very high quality. The chef's commitment to virtuous cooking is rare enough to be notable.

A 10-course journey that offers ideas not only on a gastronomic level where the study and pursuit of perfection is tangible, but also of a solid environmentalist philosophy that does not want to shout, but work towards new goals. The wine pairing did not excite me, both for the fact that not all of them were wines, so it is a mistake to call it wine pairing, and for the fact that they did not always complete and enrich the taste experience of the dish, but sometimes they completely eliminated it. In my very modest opinion, to be reviewed

Venissa Ristorante in Burano is a truly exceptional culinary experience that combines the exquisiteness of Italian cuisine with the unique charm of this Venetian island. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere is captivating. The restaurant is located in an idyllic setting, surrounded by vineyards and stunning views of Burano, creating a relaxed and sophisticated atmosphere at the same time.
The food is, without a doubt, the main attraction. Venissa offers an innovative gastronomic proposal that highlights the traditional flavors of the region, with a focus on fresh and local ingredients, many of which come directly from its own vineyards. The dishes are a work of art in themselves, perfectly balanced in flavor and presentation. Each bite reflects the chef's passion and dedication to offering the best of Venetian cuisine, with contemporary touches that make each dish memorable.
Wine pairing is another of Venissa's strong points. Their selection of local wines, particularly those produced in their own vineyard, offers a unique experience that perfectly complements each dish. The extremely professional and attentive staff is always ready to guide you in choosing the ideal wine to accompany your meal.
In addition to the quality of the food and wine, the service at Venissa is impeccable. The servers are friendly, knowledgeable, and make sure every detail of the experience is perfect, from the welcome to the farewell.
In short, Venissa Ristorante is much more than a meal; is a celebration of culinary excellence, service and environment. If you are looking for a unique dining experience in Burano, Venissa is, without a doubt, the place you should be.

English: The restaurant is located in the beautiful setting of the island of Burano, reachable only by boat. The restaurant offers a transfer service from multiple points which is very convenient. However, it was necessary to request details via email on the exact location of the meeting point for departure, as they were never provided after booking. The restaurant is very well presented. Cleanliness and organization are the first things that catch the eye. Chef C. Pavan welcomed us and each customer once we entered the main room. We chose the chef's table option, with which we were able to appreciate "live" the preparation of the dishes in every detail; recommended! This option includes wine pairing, which we asked to replace with a bottle of our choice (paying any difference). Unfortunately, faced with this request, we could not help but notice the chef's disappointment, who from that moment on stopped serving us and explaining his creations, leaving this task to a colleague of his for the duration of the service. English: We were in fact given a tablet with an extremely extensive wine list, which took us some time to understand that we needed help and advice on choosing a wine that would best match our itinerary. After consulting with the sommelier, we opted for a really good champagne. However, we did not appreciate the chef's response, who after telling him that the wine was "very good", replied with an "I know", dismissing us in a hasty and inappropriate manner. Apart from this small parenthesis, the service continued in a very good manner thanks to the waiting staff and chef Pavan who reached out to us several times to make sure everything was okay. She even granted our request for an encore of a plate of gnocchi, which in our opinion were delicious. The preparation in general is of a high standard, and the philosophy behind each dish is relevant to the context in which we find ourselves. The recycled and exclusively local raw materials are enhanced and transformed into excellent dishes. It should be noted that, however, at the end of the service, the attention of the waiting staff slackened a bit. The return was scheduled for around 4:30 pm with a taxi boat to Piazzale Roma. However, at the end of the service, without any prior consultation, we were informed that given the slight delay in the service, they had scheduled a new transfer in about 1.5 hours. Since we only had to drink coffee and pay the bill, we asked if it could be brought forward, saving us an hour and a half of waiting, and we were told no. Given the situation, we had to finish dessert, drink coffee and pay the bill very quickly.
In the end, it was a positive experience. However, some not very professional oversights prevented it from meeting our expectations. Especially because we took a plane to enjoy it. However, we appreciated the attention from chef Pavan and the rest of the waiting staff in trying to put us at ease.

A few years later I returned to this place that has something magical as soon as you cross the walls delimiting the property that includes the restaurant, the Mazzorbo gardens and the Dorona vineyard.
This time, with a nice group of friends, I tried the Venissa tavern where I was able to try a tasting menu in a convivial style as befits an tavern.
Very vegetal menu but with some hints of lagoon fish and not.
Very positive experience also for the present and precise service.

We visited the restaurant of chefs Pavan and Brutto on a pleasant March day.
We took advantage of the convenient transfer service offered by the restaurant itself: convenient and fast, it takes you directly to the entrance of the estate.
On the island of Mazzorbo there is an atmosphere of tranquility, in some ways an introduction to the experience that awaits us.
The restaurant is pleasant, very large, with excellent separation between the tables and is tastefully furnished, the kitchen is open and you can admire the care with which the chefs prepare the dishes.
The menu is in some ways surprising but also intuitive for those who have followed chef Pavan's path: it can be summed up with an adjective "sustainable", and here the green star is more than deserved.
Whether they are recognizable or less well-known products, the balance between the flavors is what most surprises: the curiosity introduced by the explanation of the dishes results in a pleasant surprise with every tasting. There are no predominant notes that characterize this type of cuisine (perhaps sweet and savory in the perfect combination, rather than acid), the palate is delighted.
The chefs were kind and helpful, the dining room staff always attentive and courteous.
An experience that begins by setting foot on the boat and leaves you with a delightful memory.
An experience absolutely worth repeating.

Anni fa visitando burano, mi sono innamorato del posto. Poi ho conosciuto la storia che ruota attorno all'uva dorona, e ho deciso di prenotare per il mio complenno. Soggiorno presso casa burano e pranzo il giorno dopo. Gentilezza,disponibilita e professionalita sin dal primo contatto mail. Esperienza unica a pranzo. Io non amo il pesce ma ho gradito tutto e mi sono divertito tanto tra spiegazioni e sensazioni al palato che ricorderò. Se amate i servizi formali ed eleganti, andateci. Se non vi piacciono...andateci! Perchè l'atmosfera è distesa e cordiale ed è facile perdersi in piacevoli conversazioni con lo staff!....

Our farm to table experience was delightful from start to finish. The private boat ride set the mood for a special evening. The dining staff are friendly and attentive. The rustic but elegant atmosphere and lovely pottery set off the creative cooking from the chefs. We enjoyed the unique wines and drinks. A memorable experience!
