Silvio Giavedoni

Quadri has occupied the same building on Piazza San Marco since 1775. Under the Alajmo family's stewardship since 2011, Giavedoni has brought the Alajmo philosophy of precise, ingredient-led cooking to one of the most historically resonant dining rooms in Italy.

Silvio Giavedoni, born 1982 in Camino al Tagliamento (Udine), Friuli, grew up around his grandfather's bakery-pastry shop. He has worked with the Alajmo family for over 15 years, rising to Executive Chef at Ristorante Quadri on Piazza San Marco — one of Venice's most historic dining rooms.
