VeRo - Venetian Roots: Modern Venetian Fine Dining in Venice, Italy

VeRo - Venetian Roots: A Modern Venetian Experience in Venice

On the Riva Ca'di Dio, VeRo - Venetian Roots presents a fine dining experience that draws its identity from the city itself. The restaurant's name is a promise: an authentic expression of Venice, its history, and its culinary traditions. This commitment to authenticity has earned VeRo a place in the Michelin guide, a recognition of its refined approach to Venetian cuisine.

The menu is a seasonal affair, driven by the changing colors and fruits of the lagoon. The kitchen, led by Executive Chef Carmine Amarante, practices a philosophy of "raffinate semplicità" – refined simplicity. The ingredient is the absolute protagonist, enhanced by contemporary techniques that respect its form and flavor. An internal garden, or orto, supplies fresh herbs and produce directly to the kitchen, reinforcing the connection to the land.

Chef Amarante brings a global perspective to his Venetian roots, having honed his skills in Italy and abroad, including a tenure under three-Michelin-starred chef Heinz Beck and at Armani Ristorante in Tokyo. His style is one of rigor and inspiration, creating plates that are a harmony of aesthetics and substance.

The dining room itself, designed by Patricia Urquiola, blends classic Venetian architecture with a contemporary touch. The atmosphere is one of understated elegance, where the focus remains on the food and the experience of tasting modern Venetian cuisine in a setting that feels both timeless and new.
