A Michelin Plate seafood restaurant in the rural hamlet of Peseggia, I Savi delivers traditional, unfussy fish and seafood cookery at a €€ price point that is hard to beat in the Venetian hinterland.

I Savi is the seafood restaurant to book when you are in the Venetian hinterland and want serious fish cookery without the formality or pricing of a destination fine-dining room. Holding a Michelin Plate in both 2024 and 2025, it delivers traditional, unfussy fish and seafood dishes in a welcoming rural setting in Peseggia, a small hamlet within the comune of Scorzè. At a €€ price point, the value is clear. If you are visiting the area and want to eat well without planning a long detour, this is where to go.

I Savi sits on Via Spangaro in Peseggia, a rural hamlet that most visitors to the Veneto would pass through without stopping. That is the point. The restaurant draws a local following precisely because the cooking does not chase trends or perform for tourists. The Michelin Plate recognition, awarded in both 2024 and 2025, signals that inspectors found the cooking consistent and genuinely accomplished, not just locally beloved. For a €€ restaurant in a village outside Venice, that carries weight.
The cuisine is seafood, prepared in a style that Michelin's own notes describe as traditional and unfussy, full of natural flavour. For a special occasion dinner in this part of the Veneto, that framing is an asset rather than a limitation. The focus sits on letting quality produce carry the plate, which tends to reward guests who want clean, direct flavour over elaborate construction. If you are travelling from Venice for dinner, the contrast with the city's tourist-facing seafood restaurants is exactly what makes I Savi worth the trip.
The dining rooms are described as welcoming, which in a rural Italian context typically means family-run warmth rather than boutique-hotel polish. For a celebration dinner or a date where conversation matters as much as the food, that atmosphere is a positive. It is not the right room if you want the ceremony of a tasting menu service. It is the right room if you want to eat well, drink local wine, and feel like a regular rather than a tourist. Pair your visit with a look at our full Scorzè wineries guide if you want to explore regional producers before or after dinner.
For comparable seafood experiences at different price tiers in Italy, Uliassi in Senigallia and Alici Restaurant on the Amalfi Coast represent the higher end of the category. Gambero Rosso in Marina di Gioiosa Ionica offers a useful regional point of comparison for traditional seafood in an understated setting. I Savi occupies a different niche from all three: it is the neighbourhood anchor for quality fish in an area that otherwise lacks recognised options at this level.
The Google rating of 4.5 across 481 reviews confirms that local opinion matches the Michelin assessment. A high review count at that score level, for a village restaurant, indicates consistent delivery rather than a one-visit spike. That consistency is what you are booking when you reserve a table here.

I Savi is a Michelin Plate seafood restaurant in a small rural hamlet outside Venice. The cooking is traditional and direct: fish and seafood handled without heavy technique or elaborate plating. The price range is €€, which makes it accessible relative to the quality on offer. Come expecting a welcoming, local atmosphere rather than a formal dining room. It is the kind of place that rewards guests who let the kitchen dictate what is fresh rather than arriving with a fixed agenda.
The database does not include a confirmed menu, so we cannot point to specific dishes without risking inaccuracy. What the Michelin Plate recognition tells you is that the fish and seafood cookery is consistently good. In a restaurant described as traditional and unfussy, the safest approach is to follow the server's recommendation for what arrived that day. Ask what is fresh and order around it.
Yes. A Michelin Plate restaurant at €€ pricing is good value by any measure. You are paying for quality seafood in a respected local room, not for theatre or brand cachet. The 4.5 Google rating across 481 reviews supports that the kitchen delivers reliably at this price point. For comparison, equivalent seafood quality at a higher award level , such as Uliassi in Senigallia , costs considerably more.
The database does not confirm whether I Savi offers a tasting menu. Given the €€ price range and the traditional, unfussy style described by Michelin, the format is likely à la carte or a set menu rather than a multi-course tasting progression. Confirm with the restaurant directly when booking.
Yes, particularly for a dinner where quality of food matters more than spectacle. The welcoming dining rooms and Michelin Plate recognition make it a credible choice for a birthday, anniversary, or celebratory meal in the Veneto. It is not a white-tablecloth ceremony venue, but if you want to eat seriously well in a warm room without the cost of a starred restaurant, it works well for the occasion.
No group capacity information is available in the database. For groups larger than four, call or email ahead to confirm availability and any table configuration options. The address is Via Spangaro, 6, Peseggia VE , direct contact through local search is the most reliable route since no phone or website is listed in our current data.
San Martino is the closest local alternative in Scorzè, offering modern cuisine at a comparable level. For higher-end dining in the broader Veneto region, Le Calandre in Rubano is a three-Michelin-star option if budget is not the constraint. If you want to stay within the seafood category and are willing to travel further in Italy, Uliassi in Senigallia represents the ceiling of the format.

Comparing your options in Scorzè for this tier.
I Savi operates from welcoming dining rooms in a small rural hamlet, which suggests a mid-sized, informal setting rather than a large-format venue. Groups of 4–6 are likely manageable, but larger parties should check the venue's official channels before assuming availability. Given the rural location and €€ price point, it is not a banquet-hall operation.
The address is Via Spangaro, 6, in Peseggia — a hamlet that navigation apps may not handle cleanly, so confirm your route before you go. This is a traditional, unfussy fish restaurant: expect natural flavours and classic preparation, not modernist plating. Michelin has awarded it a Plate in both 2024 and 2025, which signals consistent quality at a €€ price point that is rare for that recognition.
The kitchen focuses on fish and seafood dishes that are traditional in style and built around natural flavour rather than elaborate technique. Michelin's own notes describe the food as unfussy, so lean toward the simpler preparations where the quality of the seafood itself does the work. Specific dishes are not listed in available records, so ask the staff what has arrived fresh that day.
At €€, yes. A Michelin Plate two years running at this price range in the Venetian hinterland is an overperformer on value. You are not paying for a prestige address or a formal dining room — you are paying for quality fish cookery in an accessible format, which is exactly what the restaurant delivers.
No tasting menu is confirmed in available data for I Savi. The restaurant's profile — traditional, unfussy, €€ — points more toward an à la carte or daily-catch format than a structured tasting progression. Verify the current menu format when booking, as a rural Venetian seafood specialist at this price point may vary its offerings by season and supply.
Within the Venetian hinterland, options at this price and quality tier are limited, which is part of I Savi's appeal. If you want more formal seafood with higher production values, Dal Pescatore in Mantova operates at a different budget and format entirely. For the closest comparable experience — quality regional cooking without the Venice markup — I Savi holds its ground.
It works for an occasion where the food matters more than the setting. The dining rooms are described as welcoming rather than formal, and the €€ price point keeps the bill accessible. If you want theatrical surroundings or an extensive wine program to anchor a celebration, look elsewhere. If a relaxed meal of serious fish cookery is the occasion, this fits well.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
