Ristorante da Ivo

Tucked along a narrow canal just minutes from Piazza San Marco, Ristorante Da Ivo has been one of Venice’s most discreetly glamorous dining rooms since 1976. Founded by Tuscan-born Ivo Natali, the restaurant brought the warmth and robust flavors of Tuscany to Venice, creating a distinctive menu where exceptional meats, handmade pastas, seasonal produce, truffles, and Venetian seafood comfortably share the table.
The restaurant itself is wonderfully intimate—warm wood, closely set tables, polished service, and the feeling that you’ve discovered somewhere despite the extraordinary names that have passed through its doors. Da Ivo has long attracted actors, musicians, designers, international celebrities, and devoted Venetian regulars, yet its enduring appeal comes from something far simpler: excellent ingredients, gracious hospitality, and remarkable consistency.
And then there is the arrival. Da Ivo has its own canal-side entrance, allowing guests to pull directly up to the restaurant by water taxi or gondola. In a city filled with beautiful restaurant entrances, few make dinner feel quite as wonderfully Venetian.
