The partner's word

Hostaria da Franz, established in the late 19th century by Austro-Hungarian soldier Franz Habeler, is a historic seafood restaurant nestled in Venice's Castello district. Managed by the Gasparini family since 1984, it retains a modest 32-seat capacity, balancing an authentic Venetian atmosphere away from tourist crowds. Located nearer the heart of Venice thanks to Gianfranco Gasparini’s direction, the restaurant honors its origins as a communal gathering spot for lagoon specialties. The menu celebrates Venetian culinary traditions through fresh, daily-sourced seafood from the Rialto fish market, prepared using the region's four classic methods: grilled, salted, fried, and oven-baked. Signature dishes include sarde in saor—fried sardines marinated with vinegar, onions, and raisins—a historic Jewish recipe, alongside baccalà prepared with milk, octopus in wine broth, and traditional pastas like bigoli in salsa and casarecci with sea scallops. Turbot breaded with bacon lard and oven-baked further exemplifies their creative, seasonal approach. Inside, the ambiance is warm and romantic, illuminated by Murano glass lighting combined with artisanal wood and marble accents, reflecting Italian craftsmanship. This refined yet rustic setting, recognized by the Michelin Guide, offers an intimate experience distinguished by focused, personalized service and a deep respect for Venetian seafood heritage.
