Wistèria
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
A Michelin-starred kitchen on a quiet rio in San Polo: Andrea Martin and Max Rossetti out front, chef Valerio Dallamano cooking modern Venetian. Terrace tables under actual wisteria.
San Polo 2908, on the Rio de la Frescada, fifteen minutes from anywhere. Andrea and Max have been partners since the '90s; they opened Wistèria after a long stretch running a humbler place around the corner, and the Michelin star came in 2021. The restaurant is named for the wisteria vines that cover the outdoor terrace from April through June (book the terrace then, only then). Six- or eight-course tasting menus, no à la carte, vegetable-forward without being precious. The matzo meatball with mustard and onion is the surprise; the Sant'Erasmo radish course is the room's loved one. Reserve three weeks ahead.
