Rosa Salva is Venice's historic pastry shop and catering house: seven generations of a single family since 1879, purveyors to the Royal House, with the coat of arms granted by King Umberto I in 1900. Today, six locations across Venice and Mestre, the family's artisan workshops and the online shop carry the same tradition forward.
One family,
six ways to live it
“Seven generations, one family recipe: our history is made of gestures handed down, not secrets kept.”
“Every banquet is a stage set of flavour: our experience turns an event into an unforgettable memory.”
“Every bite is a small journey into the most authentic Venice, the one that tastes of sugar, spices, art and tradition.”
“Welcoming is our oldest art: in Venice every guest finds a home, not just a room.”
“A coffee at the counter, a chat, a pastry on the go: in our shops Venice lives its daily ritual.”
“A parcel tied by hand, a flavour that travels far: bringing Rosa Salva home is bringing home a piece of Venice.”
Since 1879,
purveyors to the Royal House
From Andrea Rosa's travelling kitchen in the Brenta villas to the royal coat of arms granted by King Umberto I: over 150 years and seven generations of Venetian confectionery.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Rosa Salva in Venice?
Rosa Salva has six locations, five in Venice and one in Mestre: the historic headquarters are in Calle Fiubera, San Marco 950, which also houses the workshop. The other Venetian addresses are Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo, Campo San Salvador, the Gran Teatro La Fenice, in the Sale Apollinee, and the Cafè Mariona at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia. On the mainland, the Mestre location is in via Cappuccina.
Does Rosa Salva provide catering for weddings and events?
Yes: Rosa Salva has provided catering and banqueting since 1879, for weddings, institutional events, conferences and corporate events, social events and private parties. The work takes place in historic palazzi, foundations, museums and mainland villas, and lagoon logistics are the most delicate part of the service. The process has six stages: the request, the site visit, menu and tastings, logistics, the service, handing it back.
Can Rosa Salva sweets be ordered online?
Yes, through the shop, with the one exception of the artisan gelato. The great leavened cakes, the biscuits and the Venetian specialities — panettone, colomba, baicoli, zaleti, bussolai — are shipped, as they are made to last. The gelato is made and eaten only at Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo.
