My last night in Venice and got a recommendation from a Venice native(yes they exist). Enjoyed Antico Calice and as others said, very typical Venetian cuisine. What that means is that it is a seafood heavy menu and if you don’t like seafood, I would go elsewhere. Started with the pasta nero with cuttlefish(black pasta) and it was great. I never had cuttlefish before and it was much more tender than I expected. Followed with the roasted monk fish. I liked it but it tasted more like a roasted fish than the monk fish I was used to. What surprised me was the quality of the vegetable side order I got. A great variety and quite well prepared. Would definitely come again.

Food was good. The seafood/lobster pasta was al dente but we had to peal the seafood if you don’t like that beware. The steak was ok. Order the pasta. The service is excellent. Very friendly and attentive. Bread basket was offered with about 4 types of breads. The frizzante water comes in their own glass bottle. They serve typical«Venezian» food. Bathrooms are clean but no toilette seat. It’s a small restaurant good for parties of 4 and under.

Amazing food at very reasonable prices. The pasta is homemade and some of the best in Venice. Come with an appetite!

This was a place that was recommended by a local. It was amazing! Service was friendly, atmosphere was great. But the food. Oh wow. Had the house wine which was tasty. My husband and I split the lobster pasta, and then had the grilled tuna, which was the perfect amount of cooked and raw. It melted in my mouth. Amazing place, don’t leave Venice with out dining here!

This is a hidden gem recommended by a Venetian local. Hard as Hell to find. The gondoliers hang here.(Like ¾ of the restaurant were gondoliers — was so fun! They have good taste. It is crazy delicious. The monk fish pasta is awesome. I love the tavern-esque atmosphere. Table wine rocked. Such a cool experience!

Great ambiance, warm décor, lively crowd friendly staff. It was described as true venician. Wonderful advice from our waiter. They make their pasta in house all fresh ingredients. Excellent Cabernet! We ordered the mixed fish appetizer that was excellent and the pasta with scallops. We will go back!
