Baccaladivino

About

Baccaladivino is a cherished family‑run restaurant nestled in the historic district of Mestre, just a stone’s throw from Venice. With a heritage that dates back to 1934, the Favaretto family has preserved the authentic Venetian atmosphere while weaving in the culinary traditions of Norse fishermen from the Lofoten islands. The menu centers around fresh Norwegian cod (“stoccafisso”), prepared in a variety of signature dishes such as “baccalà mantecato”, “caviale on crostini” and a range of classic Venetian pasta. The chefs combine time‑honored techniques with local flavors, offering a restaurant‑grade culinary experience that delights both purists and adventurous diners. Beyond its main dining area, Baccaladivino offers an inviting garden patio for al fresco meals and hosts instructional cooking courses led by Chef Franco Favaretto and his partner Pietro. Whether you’re looking for a leisurely family lunch, a romantic dinner, or an intimate cooking workshop, the restaurant delivers a warm, personalized experience in a setting steeped in tradition.
