Andrea Boaretti

Wistèria occupies a quiet spot near Campo San Maurizio in Venice's San Marco district. The restaurant's founders — one a philosophy student, one from hospitality — brought an intellectual rigor to the project, which Boaretti expresses through precise, thoughtful cooking.

Andrea Boaretti is the head chef at Wistèria in Venice's San Marco district, a contemporary restaurant opened by founders with backgrounds in philosophy and hospitality. He leads a kitchen that applies modern techniques to classic Venetian and Italian ingredients in a refined, intimate setting.
