On Friday, February 17, 2006 trusting in all his lucky stars, Loris Manna inaugurated his new restaurant, Il Fontego dei Pescatori. Loris – better known as “Lolo” – was well-prepared for his opening, having not only over twenty-seven years experience in the mongering of fish, but also serving as President of the Venice Rialto Fish Market for over nine years ... where he still has a vendor operation. These elements, combined with his being a long-time aficionado of both Buona Ristorazione and of simply eating well, made Lolo’s Il Fontego an idea whose time had come.

Supporting him in this inspirational quest is daughter Nicole, along with a passionate staff made up of both experienced masters and younger emerging pros. Il Fontego also benefits from the invaluable counsel of Paolo and Laura Lazzari, the brother-and-sister owners of the renowned Vini da Gigio.
