The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Michela offers guests a friendly welcome at this restaurant, where chef Raffaele creates intensely flavoured recipes enhanced by the use of vegetables fresh from the garden. Unmissable dishes include a delicious tortello pasta with sea snails which is full of fresh and decisive flavours, and lightly seared scallops served (in season) with mixed mushrooms and a delicate peach compote, as well as pigeon cooked in two different ways. The wine list features an extensive selection of Italian and international options, including a choice of some vintage labels. The dining room here is contemporary in style, with a beautiful modern fireplace adding warmth on cold winter evenings. Book a table in the wine cellar (only available in summer!) for a unique dining experience.

Ingredient Stars
From Visitor Experiences
Signature Ingredients
- Cipolla di Cavasso: A regional Veneto onion prized for sweetness and depth; San Martino uses this locally sourced ingredient to anchor many dishes in their Venetian-inspired cuisine and emphasize seasonality and terroir.
- Tuorlo d'uovo (egg yolk) paired with Canestrelli: A signature pairing highlighted in reviews, where a luscious egg yolk enriches a dish alongside Canestrelli shellfish, illustrating the kitchen's skill in creating rich emulsions and harmony between egg yolk and seafood.
- Zabajone (zabaione): A dessert centerpiece that showcases the restaurant's fondness for egg-based preparations; a creamy, custardy finish that reflects the house's egg-forward approach spanning savory and sweet courses.
- Seafood-forward cuisine (pesce e frutti di mare): The menu's emphasis on fish and shellfish — a hallmark of Venetian cooking — with Canestrelli and other local catches highlighted in refined, seasonal preparations, demonstrating sourcing from Veneto waters.
