Dining in Venice on a Superyacht Charter in Italy
Sip dark sweet coffee beneath the ethereal beauty of St Marks Basilica, slip away into the tight knit winding streets, peruse the jewelled fruit stalls of the local markets and sigh with delight at the maze of canals that criss-cross the sweetest city in Italy while enjoying your holidays on an unforgettable Venice yacht charter aboard luxury yacht STARFIRE. Of course no luxury superyacht adventure to these shores would be complete without exploring the delectable array of fine food on offer. From traditional trattorias to innovative flavours, take a look at the must experience places to dine in Venice.
Trattoria da Remigio
Hearty, simple surroundings and fresh dressed crab makes Trattoria da Remigio a firm favourite for those who adore seafood served without the fuss. The burst of Italian atmosphere, the clatter of cutlery and the chilled crisp wines make for a fabulous ambience. The gnocchi alla pescatora is a ‘must try’ for melt in the mouth goodness, gentle aromas and bright catch of the day fish that flakes on the fork.

Vini da Arturo
If you fancy rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous over tender steaks and golden artichokes then Vini da Arturo is the place to be. The likes of Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Andreessen have all fallen head over heels with the award winning menu that hasn’t been touched in decades and the pure local feel that lights up the place. The tight narrow dining space delivers an intimate feel and the owner of this hidden gem is always happy to crush a cup of wine with guests.
La Cantina
Avoid the tourist traps that pepper the streets of Venice and head to La Cantina for chic tapas, locally brewed beer and freshly shucked oysters glistening on the counter. The lightly seared tuna falls apart on the tongue, the blue veined cheese softens on oven fresh bread and the ancient charcuterie slices premium cured meats that match the Prosecco with perfection. On sultry days grab a table on the sidewalk and watch the beautiful people of Venice pass by.

El Refolo
This unassuming hole in the wall wine bar is brimming with local fun and is an absolute diamond for starting your night in style. Watch the venetians bustling past with their brown paper bags from the market, the dark-eyed children running by and the sound of wine soaked jazz filtering through the air. On fair weather evenings guests should make the most of the charming courtyard space, celebrating with a house special Bellini and basket of warm bread, olive oil and plenty of cured meats and market cheeses.

Terrazza Danieli
The sunset spot of Terrazza Danieli offers breath-taking views of the Grand Canal from its premier rooftop terrace. Nowhere else in the city can you watch the sky blush pink and the gold sparkle and fade over Venice. Start with a seasonal Octopus Carpaccio, move on to the truffle scented John Dory and finish with a saffron and mascarpone cheese mousse adorned with strawberry coulis.
