Calle Fiubera

Rosa Salva’s historic home is in Calle Fiubera, in San Marco, a two-minute walk from Piazza San Marco. It is at once a pasticceria, a production workshop and the operational heart of the company: everything you see in the windows of our Venetian shops leaves from here every day.

The shop opened in 1925, on a spot where there seems to have been a beer hall before. Antonio Rosa Salva (1909–2001) used to tell of the day his grandfather sent him to dismantle the old brick oven at the previous premises, which had been brought here by rowing boat. Over the years the shop grew and became intertwined with the production workshop, the offices, the storerooms and the family hotel.

In 2011 a major renovation moved the offices to the first floor and enlarged the shop, making room for seating and a fuller display. The tasting room is up in the offices: a meeting room that, when needed, becomes the place for menu tastings with catering clients.

On the counter you will find the pastries of the day, the sweets of Venetian tradition — baicoli, zaleti, and at Carnival frittelle and galani — savoury pastries and coffee. The workshop at the back works without pause for the Venice shops and for banqueting.
