Reviews
Zanze XVI is a charming gem that is blissfully peaceful and off the beaten track of tourists and crowds. The decor is elegant and serene, which completely matches with the stylish and imaginative menu. There are wonderful flourishes, like oil distillations and stone fruit from the chef’s garden. The tastes throughout the meal were exquisite and when asked if I wanted coffee afterwards, I couldn’t bear to allow them to be purged from my mouth! The wine list is also very special with surprising and refined local wines that were truly a treasure. Last but not least, the service is impeccable. One is often treated strangely or sometimes with distain when dining alone, especially at find dining establishments. But last night, I felt like I was dining with friends who just happened to work at the restaurant, which really put the meal over the top. Highly recommended and will definitely return on my next trip to Venice.
Incredible experience and food — so innovative and creative yet locally sourced. Attention to detail impeccable— even down to the detail of the Murano glass silverware holder and the kintsugi china. I had the 5 course menu and was delighted with how much care they took to understand my tastes and pick dishes to fit. The only star I removed was under atmosphere — and not really at the restaurant’s fault. I was seated very closely to a group of four that incessantly complained about everything — it was almost as if they came in with a chip on their shoulders and were simply looking to be miserable. The staff handled them with professionalism and care. It put a bit of a dark cloud over an otherwise lovely meal. The only thing that could have made it better for me might have been if we hadn’t been seated so close. But the group was loud and that’s how restaurants are here. Unavoidable.
Beautiful restaurant, amazing food! Had a 3 course shared tasing menu with accompanying drink selections. The staff are very helpful and welcoming, and expertly informed of the food selections and the drink pairings to go with them. After asking our preferences and items to avoid the chef selects the courses. I could not have selected such wonderful pairings. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and evening.
