Da Lorenzo – Al Giardino Segreto

Da Lorenzo – Al Giardino Segreto resides within a peaceful 17th-century Venetian palazzo, overlooking a private garden once cultivated by botanist Lorenzo Patarol into a botanical sanctuary. This setting merges historical elegance with nature, offering guests a tranquil backdrop of Mediterranean and rare plants. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Paulo Airaudo, whose Argentine heritage and international experience shape a cuisine rooted in Italian tradition yet expressed through creative fusion. The menu emphasizes seasonality, clean flavors, and meticulous technique to reveal the purest essence of each ingredient. Guests can select from two evolving tasting menus—a four-course Sensazioni and a seven-course Emozioni—or a concise à la carte option, all supported by thoughtfully curated wine pairings. Chef Salvatore Paladino oversees daily execution, ensuring authenticity and precise flavor balance. Recognized in the MICHELIN Guide 2025, the restaurant provides an intimate, slow-paced dining experience that honors the garden’s botanical legacy.
