Quadri Venice

Quadri sits on the northern edge of St. Mark’s Square. The dining room is steps from both the Museo Correr and the Doge’s Palace. It holds a Michelin star and ranks no. 40 on La Liste.

The room runs smart and elegant. Most restaurants on this square exist to capture tourists with little regard for the plate, but the contemporary Italian seafood here justifies the location. Choosing this over the nearby cafes is the only way to experience the square without the midday crush. While the sightlines across the piazza draw visitors, the kitchen’s focus on modernizing traditional lagoon ingredients makes it a choice for locals, not just a landmark for the crowds.
