Imaginative contemporary cuisine and haute gastronomy.
The culinary experience at Nolinski Venezia is rooted in the legacy of Zeffirino, the historic Genoese institution founded in 1939. Just steps from St. Mark’s Square, Zeffirino at Nolinski Venezia brings the flavors of Liguria to Venice, pairing Italian culinary tradition with Venetian elegance.
On the third floor, Zeffirino Restaurant occupies the building’s former Council Chamber. Open for dinner, the restaurant celebrates classic Italian and Ligurian dishes through thoughtful craftsmanship in an elegant, immersive setting. On the ground floor, Il Caffè Zeffirino opens onto a peaceful inner courtyard, serving Italian specialties throughout the day in a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. Adjacent to the café, the bar channels the convivial spirit of Venetian aperitivo culture with cocktails and light refreshments.
Also on the third floor, the Library Bar extends the lobby’s colonnaded perspective into an intimate space designed for lingering from morning through evening. Wood paneling, a piano, and a curated library of more than four thousand volumes set the scene, while a ceiling fresco by artist Simon Buret adds an artistic flourish. The result is a quiet, cultured retreat for an afternoon escape or an evening drink.
