The Fiore has become a well-known venue in Venice, and even though it carries Osteria in its name, it is actually more of a distinguished Michelin starred restaurant serving traditional food with a modern twist. We were lucky enough to find available the seasonal granseola (crab meat) for starter, a Venetian delicacy not easily found in some seasons. Main courses included a delicious cod as well as a calamari and pea risotto that was excellent (we heard the truffle risotto is also very good), and chocolate dessert made us finish the night in perfect satisfaction. They also have tasting menus and an extensive wine list. In spring and summer try to get one of the two tables on the balcony, a lovely setting for special occasions. Unlike most Venetian eateries, Fiore is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so plan accordingly.
