In the inner courtyard of Ca' di Dio, Essentia thrives on two complementary souls: the open-air tree-lined garden and the indoor dining room designed by architect Patricia Urquiola. An authentic Italian experience in perfect quiet luxury style: elegant, never formal, where food becomes an occasion to connect.
TRADITIONS & LAGOON
The menu brings together timeless Made in Italy classics like vitello tonnato and carbonara, casual favorites such as Caesar salad and gourmet burgers, and more refined dishes tied to the lagoon—from risotto to the catch of the day—with thoughtful options for vegetarian and vegan guests as well.
A curated selection of wines and mixology creations accompanies both lunches in the courtyard and dinners in the main dining room.
