Description

Il Ristorante Marco Polo is an outpost of Venice in Caracas. Its bar is in the form of a ship while generous murals, stained glass panels, decorative cast iron bars and other artistic elements help recreate a Venetian image. Live operatic performances on occasion contribute to this aura and are a bold idea that has been acclaimed by the loyal clientele.

The food is classic Italian, yet varied and enriched with local ingredients, resulting in dishes that are as original as they are recommendable. The ñoquis de yucca (gnocchi made of cassava flour), the risotto con salmón (risotto with salmon), pastel de hojaldre de aguacate (puff pastry with avocado), the pasta dishes and the pastel de manzana (apple pie) are all highly sought-after dishes. The combination of a great menu, highly original atmosphere and personalized attention from the owner himself, have created a group of loyal followers, mostly executives and couples. The average check for a couple is $110, without wine or liquors. But on weekends, you can grab the special menu for $20.
