The founders of Il Fornaio have designed Canaletto to stand as the ideal Venetian ristorante. Executive Chef Maurizio Mazzon - a native of Venice - and Chef/Partner Alfonso Sanna have blended their expertise to unleash a gourmet fantasy at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.

Menu highlights include an abundant selection of fresh seafood from Canaletto's own "Mercato del Pesce," rotisserie and grill specialties, and a variety of risotto preparations and housemade pastas each day. A silver tray bearing traditional Venetian breads begins your meal and desserts created on the premises complete your Venetian culinary experience. The carefully selected wine list featuring little-known wines of Italy's northeast includes a special section devoted to Prosecco, the Italian grape cultivated throughout the Veneto.
