DAMA Restaurant
At a glance
DAMA Restaurant is the contemporary dining restaurant at Ca’ Bonfadini in Cannaregio, Venice. Its Venetian cooking includes seafood alongside meat dishes, with a choice between à la carte and tasting menus. Choose it when the format and setting of a special dinner matter; it is not an exclusively seafood restaurant.
Tasting menus and individual dishes
The October 2026 dinner menu lists Piccolo Capriccio and Gran Capriccio, both served to the whole table. Gran Capriccio includes duck and foie gras, so it should not be booked on the assumption that every course is seafood. À-la-carte fish dishes include cod ravioli, lobster with roasted Carnaroli rice and stuffed red mullet in a mussel-and-clam stew. DAMA is listed in the MICHELIN Guide.

Dining room and dinner reservations
The dining room includes tables made from restored lagoon navigation posts, or briccole. Ca’ Bonfadini gives dinner service as 19:00–21:30 and lists its entrance at Fondamenta Savorgnan 462. The hotel’s café and waterside bar are separate services: a dinner reservation does not establish an outdoor restaurant table. Use the restaurant page’s table-booking link, rather than the hotel’s room-booking button.

Does a dinner booking include the waterside bar?
The hotel describes the bar separately. Ask for the precise dining space you want; its waterside seating is not an automatic part of a restaurant reservation.
