Palace intimacy and lagoon cooking
The restaurant is at Palazzo Venart in Santa Croce, through a sheltered courtyard with magnolia trees. The operator also describes a garden facing the Grand Canal; distinguish those spaces from the indoor dining room.
Ascani’s cooking draws on lagoon seafood, island vegetable gardens and Venetian traditions. Its market-led nature makes the available menu more useful than a promise that a photographed dish will always be served.

An occasion meal with named recognition
The current MICHELIN Guide gives Glam two stars and describes a small dining room and garden setting. That recognition supports its food-led special-occasion role; it does not establish a city-wide best-romance score or prove that it is Venice’s only two-star restaurant.
Discuss the menu, dietary preparation and preferred seating together, and request the current tasting-menu price and any supplements.

Plan the service and arrival
The operator publishes lunch 12:40–14:00 and dinner 19:15–21:00, with Monday and Tuesday closed. The address is Calle Tron 1961, Santa Croce, near the San Stae water-bus stop.
Use +39 041 523 5676 or info@ristoranteglam.com for the actual meal and seating request. Ask about access requirements for the route and dining space rather than assuming a palace address establishes step-free access.

Planning questions
Does a Glam booking guarantee a Grand Canal table?
No. The restaurant has different indoor, courtyard and garden spaces. Agree the exact seating and its availability with the restaurant.
What makes Glam useful for a special dinner?
Its intimate Palazzo Venart setting and market-led lagoon cooking, together with its current two-star MICHELIN distinction, make it a food-led occasion choice.
