April 2025…// Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, the iconic Venetian hotel and former flour mill on Giudecca island, is delighted to announce the reopening of its much-loved Aromi restaurant for the 2025 season, with a brand new menu by Executive Chef Ivan Fargnoli.
Enjoying a peaceful canal-side location with a summer terrace and spectacular city views within the grounds of the hotel, Aromi is an intimate and elegant restaurant with a range of sumptuous signature dishes. Drawing inspiration from seasonal produce and creating a gastronomic experience to delight the senses using unusual combinations of flavours as well as Chef Ivan’s extensive international experience, this season’s menu is an alluring blend of the finest Italian ingredients and oriental spices. Inviting diners to indulge in an unparalleled gastronomic experience, harmonised with curated wine pairings, each dish on the menu sees a chef’s tale unfold on the plate.
The signature dishes on the new menu have been personally created by Chef Ivan and are a true labour of love honed over many months. Stand out dishes include a striking Fassona Tartare, Turnip and Karashi Mustard, Marrow and Whiskey starter that looks almost too good to eat, and Spaghetti with Cuttlefish Ink, Yuzu Kosho Bisque and Sea Urchins.

Describing his signature dish of Roasted Glacier 51 codfish fillet with chorizo powder, zucchini carpaccio, spinach, bouillabaisse and chorizo sauce, Chef Ivan said, “The flavour combination in this dish is sure to surprise. We have used the sweetest of spinach from Japan to balance the flavours of spicy chorizo sausage with succulent codfish and a carpaccio of zucchini marinated in anchovies, capers and lemons. This dish is a true culinary experience for all the senses!”
Additional signature dishes include deliciously light Thai-marinated salmon with a fragrant sauce and salmon caviar, while vegetarian offerings such as Aubergine Parmigiana and Artichoke Risotto with Cynar provide a flavour sensation for every diner.
