BEPI ANTICO 54 da LORIS

Wonderful restaurant! We had several dishes including the artichoke and lobster, potato ravioli with spinach and ricotta cheese and a shrimp dish. All were very good. We sat inside towards the back. It was quiet and a perfect setting. There was outdoor seating but a wedding was going on next door so kind of noisy with kids out front. There was just two of us and a great place for lunch. Seemed to be a

Now, it makes sense why they force gratuity. Arrived at 7:40. We were seated quickly with no menus, no offer for drinks or water. We waited 15 mins, then my wife had to get up and go around to the front and ask for menus. 15 minutes after that, a woman came (who we never saw again), and we ordered water and fried calamari. 10 minutes later, she took our order. By 8:30, no bread was offered, and no one came by to check on us. Finally, at 8:45, our meals showed up. We had to ask for bread. The bread was sliced and stale, we could hardly bite it. I got the spaghetti with clam sauce with the smallest clams I had ever seen. The spaghetti was undercooked. 30 minutes go by, and after having to remove the pinky nail sized clam meat from the clam, I realized, "we never got the fried calamari." I then taped my wine glass and said loudly, "I have an announcement to make! I want to get the he'll out of here!". Then we waited and waited and waited. Finally, a guy came by and offered coffee or dessert. I laughed and said, "No, we'll take the check. Also, like i said before. we never saw the original woman again...

What an amazing place! The food was delicious, the service very friendly and the atmosphere very special. The recommended wine was great. The prices are very fair too. There’s a lot of locals here. We had a reservation from a few weeks before, and I think it’s best to try to have one. Dinner here was the perfect final chord for our magical day in Venice. Thank you! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Fantastic food and great service. This is the best restaurants I had in Venezia. For sure I would visit this place again in the near future.

Superb food. Service was great. V down to earth and food spoke for itself. House White was incredible value for money.

It’s been burning hot, and the only outside table’s been in the sun. When I asked for a table for one, I’ve been offered to eat inside which was a lot nicer and more beatable than melting like a piece of butter :) the host arranged a table by the bar for me, and I loved the tiny shrimp with salicornia and the spaghetti vongole that came with tons off clams! It’s a very nice traditional eatery loved by locals, too!

This restaurant is amazing a real gem of Venice traditional cuisine. Highly recommend, please book in advance. Everything is perfect the atmosphere, service and the food sublime

Excellent food. We had the soft shell crab, cuttlefish ink pasta, local sea bass, vongole pasta, crab pasta. Everything was very fresh, simply prepared and delicious. Very good prices. No tourists. Unpretentious. And the service was excellent, so friendly. New favorite spot in Venice!
