Tucked along a quiet canal, Gatto Nero is widely considered Burano’s finest restaurant, and one of the best places in the lagoon for elegant yet deeply traditional seafood. Family-run and Michelin-recommended, it focuses on fresh, local ingredients with a touch of refinement — without ever losing its soul.

Expect beautifully plated dishes like tagliolini with spider crab, seasonal risottos, and expertly grilled fish. The canal-side setting is quiet and timeless, far from the crowds.

Tip: Book in advance. Ask for a table outside, and let the staff guide you — they know exactly what’s best that day.
