RESTAURANT LUPO NERO

The Osteria del Lupo Nero is a typical Venetian restaurant with cicchetteria located in the center of Mestre, specializing in Venetian cuisine and with a pleasant summer terrace.
At the restaurant counter we offer a wide assortment of Venetian cicchetti to accompany with a spritz or a  glass of wine  to choose from dozens of wineries.
Among the specialties of our tavern there are fried cicchetti at the moment (mozzarella in carrozza, meatballs, sardines, cod) but also oysters from Brittany.
In the menu of the Restaurant Osteria Lupo Nero we offer, in addition to the classic cicheti, all the traditional Venetian dishes and we prepare fresh pasta, gnocchi and desserts at home.
Our dishes are born by selecting every day the best of the raw material, choosing quality and freshness products, following the rhythm of the seasons and favoring the organic zero kilometer supply chain.

Among the restaurants in Mestre the Lupo Nero is always presented with a renewed wine list that is the result of a constant and rigorous work to guarantee a selection of the best Italian and foreign productions that emerge in terms of wine quality every season.

For lunch, from Monday to Friday, in the restaurant we offer set menus for a quick meal.
