About Hostaria da Franz

Hostaria da Franz is on the Salizada Sant’Antonin in Castello, towards the Arsenale. The MICHELIN Guide traces it to the late 19th century, when it was founded, at another address, by an Austrian soldier; today the owner, Maurizio, runs the room, and fish is the speciality.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Hostaria da Franz before you go.
