Lonely Planet review for Caffè Quadri
Powdered wigs seem appropriate attire in this bodaciously baroque salon. A cafe since 1683, it became a Hapsburg hot spot under the Vivarini brothers during the 19th-century Austrian occupation. Venetians with long memories still veer instinctively towards the Florian, missing out on decadent desserts like baked ice cream and the €16 hot chocolate service with panna (whipped cream) and Venetian cookies. Reserve ahead during Carnevale, when the Quadri is packed with costumed revellers partying like it’s 1699.
