The taverna

A true Venetian taverna, in the heart of San Polo

Taverna da Baffo is a Venetian restaurant in Campiello Sant'Agostin, steps from San Stin and the Frari: seafood cooking, homemade pasta and bread, pizzas from its own oven and a terrace with tables out in the square. Inside: wood, bare stone, lanterns and an antique piano.

Alex is the one welcoming you in, and he treats this taverna like his own home. Ask him about the catch of the day: he comes back from the market every morning.

What's cooking

The sea on your plate, the pasta made in-house

Six sections, sixty-six dishes: seafood starters, pasta, grilled mains, pizzas, sides and homemade desserts. These are the ones you won't forget.

The campo is our most beautiful dining room

Our terrace tables sit right in Campiello Sant'Agostin: no traffic, no shop windows, just the lit palazzo, Venetians walking home and the sound of cutlery.

Evening is the moment: lanterns lit, the square emptying out, the moon above the chimneys. The outdoor tables go first, book ahead.
