Chiara Pavan
Cheffe of the Michelin-starred restaurant Venissa, Venice
Chiara Pavan is Cheffe of Venissa, the Michelin-Starred Restaurant – which she guides alongside Francesco Brutto – set within the Venissa estate on Mazzorbo Island, in the Venice Lagoon. With her cucina ambientale, she strives to create a true taste of place while also adopting sustainable practices around the sourcing, production, and preservation of food. In her restaurant she cooks vegetables from her own garden and the current menu focuses on invasive species from the Adriatic Sea.
Chiara trained at ALMA and has worked in various Michelin-starred restaurants over the last ten years. She took over the kitchen at Venissa in 2017.
