Venice has welcomed another food destination.
Da Lorenzo – Al Giardino Segreto opened this summer in the famed NH Collection Venezia Grand Hotel Palazzo dei Dogi at Fondamenta Madona de l’Orto.
Led by the six Michelin-starred Argentinian chef Paulo Airaudo, the restaurant seats up to 18 people and focuses on traditional Venetian cuisine mixed with international influences.
The culinary offer includes two tasting menus: one with 11 courses and one with seven courses, with recipes to pair with a wide list of wines and Champagnes.
Among the plates are monkfish with Bagna Càuda (a hot dish made with garlic, anchovies, red wine, and extra virgin olive oil, typical of the Piedmont region) and green asparagus, or raw hamachi amberjack with spicy fennel juice.
The restaurant draws its name from Lorenzo Patarol, a famed collector and botanist who, in the 18th century, created the 21,600-square-foot garden that surrounds the venue.
