La Colomba restaurant in Venice, a few short paces from the Piazza San Marco and La Fenice theatre, has been a hub of the art scene for more than seventy years. Artists are often short of money, but as they still need to eat, hundreds of them – including Picasso and Chagall -- have left drawings and paintings as payment to La Colomba who displays them over every surface. You dine surrounded by art, a perfect accompaniment to the classic Venetian masterpiece on your plate. But La Colomba has been a restaurant, formerly a favourite with gondoliers and sailors, for more than two hundred years. Historic roots, modern delights. The menu features both typical Venetian and international cuisine, dishes like bresaola with parmesan and rocket salad, veal ravioli with tomato sauce, chateaubriand with béarnaise, accompanied by an entirely Italian wine list. La Colomba is one of Venice’s most famous restaurants and it often hosts groups of tourists, business folk and parties. Both the location and service are excellent for private events.
