La Bauta Restaurant
A refined bistro set within Nani Mocenigo Palace, our sister property just a short stroll away in Dorsoduro.
True italian taste. with the signature of two‑star chef Gennaro Esposito.
La Bauta Restaurant unfolds around a historic Venetian courtyard and a light-filled winter garden, creating a secluded setting for dining. Here, Venetian classics meet flavors from across Italy in a culinary journey that moves naturally between local tradition and regional inspiration.
At the helm of the kitchen, Executive Chef Raffaele Iasevoli brings this vision to life.
After formative years at the two-Michelin-starred Torre del Saracino, he refined his craft in Paris alongside chefs such as Alain Ducasse and Amaury Bouhours. His cooking balances the lagoon’s time-honored traditions with the bold flavors of the Mediterranean.
Two souls, one vision.
The menu creates a dialogue between Venetian culinary identity and the sun-drenched Mediterranean philosophy of Chef Gennaro Esposito, mentor to Executive Chef Raffaele Iasevoli.
