Venissa
Where Burano is a bombastic rainbow of an island, its neighbor Mazzorbo is quite the opposite. Green and serene, there are no tourist attractions to be found once you cross the Ponte Lungo, a pedestrian bridge connecting the two, but head straight through a gate and you’ll discover the real reason anyone visits Mazzorbo: the Venissa Wine Resort.
tenuta venissa’s walled compound not only contains a working vineyard and extensive nursery, but the Michelin-starred Il Ristorante and delicious Osteria Contemparanea as well. So whether elevated, creative (and costly!) cuisine is your thing, or you prefer farm-to-table ingredients served in a more wallet-friendly manner, Venissa is a superb dining spot for food lovers. Everything they serve is local, beautifully-presented and modern, while still remaining authentically Venetian.
Plus, if you have too much to drink, the Venissa Wine Resort also includes a Mr. & Mrs. Smith-selected hotel where you can crash.
Closed Wednesday!
