"Fiola at Dopolavoro Venezia" features a sophisticated yet luxurious ambiance coupled with striking architectural details that date back to the 1920s.
The Fiola Venezia menu, a nostalgic twist on traditional Venetian cuisine prepared with a modern presentation, will combine locally sourced seasonal ingredients from Venice’s famous, centuries-old Rialto Market, the Adriatic Sea, as well as vegetables and exclusive olive oil from the private island’s own vegetable garden and olive grove.

    Fiola At Dopolavoro Venezia was extremely disappointing. The food was just ok and so was the service. The wine pairing was terrible, at one point pairing a dark, dark red wine with a light, white fish. I have never been so displeased with paying a bill for dinner, including that they gave us a glass of prosecco to celebrate with and then charged us. I would much rather have had any of the other meals we had while in Venice. Please avoid and just go the bar or pizza parlor on the island.

    The food and services there are amazing. We choose 3 courses by the chef with wine tasting. The chef keeps giving us surprise by offering some extra dishes. I guess the 3 courses finally becoming a 6-7 courses! We can taste the food with different layers of tastes which is very delicious. Finally the chef comes to chat with us and we take a photo with him; a very nice dining experience!

    The restaurant Fiola at Dopolavoro Venezia at the JW Marriott Venice is beautifully located on a private island, which you can easily reach with the JW Marriott boat, departing every 30 minutes from San Marco. The restaurant is one of the best restaurants in entire Venice. Food, service, and the ambiance are extra class. I highly recommend having an unforgettable Dinner at the Fiola at Dopolavore!

    We heard rave reviews from family members that had dined here in the past. Unfortunately, our experience was not the same. The space is lovely and the presentation of the food exceptional. Our reservation was at 9pm, se we opted not to do a prefix menu. We still had a first course, main, and dessert. The first course was the best. One person had the octopus, and it was delicious. The rest of had a beautiful vegetable plate that was fine. The major issue was that all of the main dishes were over salted. The lobster ravioli and monkfish were ruined by amount of salt that was added. In addition, our server kept pouring still water into my sparkling water. I told her I didn't need any more water, and she snapped at me when she saw me pouring the correct water into my glass. She was oddly aggressive, which made the experience even worse.

    Very average, what a disappointment! I’d recommend the pool bar at the hotel instead. The chocolate desert was nice though. Hands down the worst meal / expectation value in the last two weeks in Italy.

    This restaurant is more than just a place to eat. The entire evening was an experience. Unlike many Michelin level places, the portion sizes were very reasonable and we left full, not hungry. The food was excellent, the flavors danced on your tongue, sensing several different ones in the same bite. Presentation was beautiful, the atmosphere relaxed, overall a wonderful evening. We went all out and got the 5 course tasting menu. I highly recommend the gamble, the chef knows what he is doing!

    Excellent food and service, but difficult to find if you aren’t staying at the JW Marriott. It is not at the location of the pin in Apple Maps or the Open Table directions. The restaurant is on the oppose corner of the island from the JW Marriott. My water taxi driver dropped me at the wrong dock and I had a bit of a walk to get to the restaurant. I ordered the five course tasting menu with wine pairings. A “wow!" dish: lobster ravioli in a ginger butter sauce with chives from the garden plus a large chunk of lobster tail on top. It was fantastic! I enjoyed everything except the pigeon and foie gras. Well-prepared but anti-climactic because I'm generally not a fan of foie gras or pigeon. (Although, the server humorously assured me the pigeon was not from St. Mark's Square.) I took a few bites and left the rest. The lesson here is to scan the à la carte menu for things I don't like but might show up in the tasting menu and then mention them when ordering a "mystery" tasting. This was their second night open to the public and there were still some kinks to work out. When it came time to pay the bill there were problems with the credit card machine. The couple at the table next to mine also had issues with paying their check. It would not accept my Bonvoy American Express. I ended up paying with another card, which meant that I lost points despite this restaurant being connected to a JW Marriott.

    We chose Fiola for our 20th wedding anniversary dinner, and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint. Small dining room, personal, attentive service, yet not cold. Everyone serves with a smile. We chose the ala carte 3 course with dessert. Every dish was delicious. I particularly loved my foie gras. It was amazing! The restaurant sent over an extra dessert and a note to mark the occasion. The chef came out and spent 10 minutes talking to us, which went above and beyond. When I go to Venice, I will be sure to visit Fiola again!

    service and food were of very high quality the wine pairing deserves a lot of improvement - we tried the so called premium option and most of the wines came across as disappointing, a bit mainstream and cheap overall, our experience was great and flawless, I would strongly recommend the place!

    It was good but the whole experience was let down by being presented with a bill that indicated that the two bottles of mineral water we had were 10 Euros each.. why do that? Why send people home feeling they had been ripped off Also, our waitress was a nice girl but not v good Didn’t bring a wine list and had no idea how to top up wine She filled my glass too high and didn’t give any to my guest The prices are very high so you would expect better And it’s a bad idea spoil it with 10 Euro water

    The food itself was fantastic. I had the tasting menu and all items were great. The menu was fairly overpriced and the restaurant charges 12 Euro per person as a cover fee and 10 Euro per bottle of water. It felt like a lot to pay 44 Euro for my husband and me just to have a table and water. The waiters were friendly but a bit too present and could have checked in less frequently.

    Great for special occasions and for something different to do in Venice. The complimentary boat ride whisks you away from the bustling San Marco area to a calm and serene island just 30 minutes away. It's mostly just people staying at the hotel that dine there (I was the only person there for much of my dining experience - which was fine), but the food and service are both outstanding and if you time it right - you'll see a magical sunset over all of Venice.
