Chef's Choice Tasting Menu at Michelin 2 Star Ristorante Glam in Venice

Behind an unassuming entrance in Santa Croce, Palazzo Venart reveals a quieter side of Venice: secluded gardens, an old magnolia tree, and a historic palace on the Grand Canal. Here, Glam—Venice’s only restaurant with two Michelin stars—brings together the culinary vision of Enrico Bartolini and the distinctive talent of resident chef Donato Ascani. With just a handful of tables, it feels like a discovery worth keeping to yourself.

Settle in and let Chef Donato Ascani introduce you to his Venice. This chef’s choice tasting follows the ingredients that inspire him, drawing on the Rialto fish market, the vegetable gardens of the lagoon’s islands, and close relationships with local fishermen and growers.

Ascani’s cooking finds extraordinary possibilities in this landscape. Seasonal vegetables, delicate seafood, wild herbs, and young shoots become the starting points for dishes that are thoughtful, expressive, and unmistakably connected to the lagoon. His skill with fire adds another dimension, bringing depth to ingredients while allowing their character to shine.

As the menu unfolds, discover a Venice that reaches beyond its familiar sights—a living place of gardens, fishing boats, changing seasons, and deeply rooted food traditions. In the intimate surroundings of Palazzo Venart, take your time over each course and enjoy the pleasure of seeing this remarkable city through a chef’s imagination.
