The taverna
A true Venetian taverna, steps from Campo San Stin
Taverna da Baffo is a Venetian restaurant in Campiello Sant'Agostin, between San Stin and the Frari: seafood cooking, homemade pasta and bread, pizzas from its own oven and a terrace with tables out in the square. Inside: wood, bare stone, lanterns and an antique piano.
Alex is the one welcoming you in, and he treats this taverna like his own home. Ask him about the catch of the day: he comes back from the market every morning.
The name
Giorgio Baffo, the Venetian behind the name
Da Baffo is not a name chosen by chance. It is a bow to Giorgio Baffo, a patrician, magistrate and poet in Venetian: a free spirit of the Republic whom Casanova called a “sublime genius”.
At the taverna we keep alive his most convivial side: the pleasure of an honest table, a well-poured glass and the time to linger a little longer. Because in Venice a place becomes memorable when it has a story to tell and something good to share.
