Make your break a masterpiece
Our Café faces the internal garden, one of the most charming in Venice, designed by Carlo Scarpa in the early 1960s.
Unusual and welcoming, it is perfect for a coffee break, an aperitif or a work lunch.
The cuisine of Peace’n’Spice offers a wide choice at the counter and serves dishes that originate from the encounter between Italy and the Middle East, from where the founders Hadi Noori and Ali Khan Qalandari started, from the lands they fortunately crossed and from the ones of those who shared paths and meals with them: Iran, Syria, Turkey.
Inclusion, contamination, research are some of the values in which the Querini recognises itself. They are also expressed through migrant and colorful gastronomic proposals, which find their place among Maria Morganti’s contemporary tapestries.
Turn your break at the café into a convivial journey of exchange and discovery between art, architecture and flavours, along unimaginable routes.
Take a break in the fresh air

The exterior of the Café in dialogue with the garden designed by Carlo Scarpa
In 2017, Maria Morganti engaged with the café designed by Mario Botta and transformed it, creating the permanent installation ‘Svolgimento di un quadro’ (‘Development of a painting’). The artist covered the walls with tapestries, produced in collaboration with Vicenza-based company Bonotto, one of the world’s most creative textile manufacturers.
“I thought about a painting expanding, as if every single layer were to be peeled off three-dimensionally into the surrounding environment. Through a prevalence of greens, blues and a strong presence of red, the painting multiplied into lots of separate pictures. I sensed the architecture of Mario Botta, I felt it was the place that would give my colour the chance to settle, to stay, to take its space”.
Turn your break at the café into a nice stop along a journey of knowledge amidst art, architecture and flavours.
