The Caravelle is the name of the miniature replica of the wooden ship in storefront, but also of this historic restaurant of Via XXII Marco, located just steps from San Moses Church and near Saint Mark Square. The bar, adjacent to the restaurant, was used by famous writers, such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, during their stay in Venice for years after the war. Inside, a cozy atmosphere for a wooden decor that evokes old ships. A distinguished clientele, most often staying at Hotel Saturnia, is located at lunch or dinner, to taste traditional dishes prepared carefully. Beautiful selection of pasta, risotti, seafood, fish… Quick and attentive service. A very good address.

From the moment we step in, we were warmly welcomed by Adriano, who spoke very good English. The food we order came quickly and all of it were delicious and beautifully presented. Has a wonderful time eating dinner here.
Thank you for making our 1st night in Venice special.
Tucked away in the charming streets of Venice, we stumbled upon a remarkable restaurant that epitomizes Italian culinary excellence. It was a cozy haven on a chilly winter evening, and after hearing rave reviews from several sources, we decided to try it out. Thankfully, we made reservations beforehand, and upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with fresh, delicious bread.
Famished like ravenous beasts, we eagerly dove into the menu. The local wine, the server's recommendation, proved to be an excellent choice, perfectly complementing our meal. The risotto was truly outstanding, surpassing any we had tasted in Rome or Florence. The pumpkin appetizer was equally delightful, bursting with flavor despite its simple ingredients. Even the kids' pasta, made with basic ingredients, was cooked to perfection. To cap off the incredible experience, we savored a delectable tiramisu.
Our only regret was the limitations of our appetites, as we longed to try more dishes. This restaurant is undoubtedly a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of authentic Italian cuisine. We will certainly return on our next visit to this captivating city and highly recommend it to everyone.
