Located on the outskirts of Venice, accessibility to the restaurant can be a problem, but worth the hassle at the first bite of the marvelous seafood cuisine locally sourced. What impressed was the skill and precision with the delicate seafood to maximize freshness while retaining the natural flavors with good wines to pair. The presentation was especially superb.

The quiet rural setting plus an elegant dining room with welcoming service made the farewell to Venice dinner all the more memorable, and among the best fine dining experiences.

A two Michelin stars restaurant.

Did 1 star last week and here we were trying a 2 star restaurant, and the experience was fantastic.  Definitely there were subtle differences between the two restaurants.

FOOD: We're ordered the lunch special (3 dishes) and two dishes from the ala carte menu. Of course, before the meal, they prepared welcome dishes to jump start our taste buds. Every bite sized snacks were fantastic and then the warm homemade bread showed up. It was fun sampling these dishes. The main course was fantastic. Lunch menu had an appetizer (seafood sampler), pasta, and the main (grilled sea bass). Tasted great and pleasantly presented. We also ordered seafood pasta and raw fish stew from the menu. I was wondering how you could have raw stew, but they pour the stew/sauce over the fish. Great idea and tasted great. We liked the sauce so much that we scrapped the bowl with the bread. And then the meal ended with their desert samples. Not too sweet and a perfect way to finish the meal.
SERVICE: Fantastic. They were quick with the meal and explained each dish. very friendly and definitely two star worthy. Little over two hours and never felt slow or rushed.
LOCATION: Easy to find. On the main street and plenty of parking.  Also,  inside is big and tables are well spaced out.
PRICE: It's two star. So, not cheap but it's for the meal and the experience. I thought it was worth the price. Meal and drinks (one glass of wine and coffee) were about €170.
MISC: not an expert but I noticed that the service and the presentation were slightly more noticeable (to me) than a one star restaurant. I definitely recommend this two star restaurant and you are looking for a two star restaurant in Veneto

One of my best meals in Italy when I visited in 2016. The Pastry Chef here was voted #1 in Italy in 2016 and wow it was obvious when we got to the dessert courses! The flavors of the whole meal were incredible, the ambiance was relaxing and intimate. So much attention to detail in every course and an excellent staff! Very knowledgeable and friendly. The Sommelier was great and helped me to pick the perfect wine for my meal at the peak age. I would love to come back some day and very much hope that I can. The pictures don't do it justice! Thank you for a wonderful Birthday Dinner to everyone at Antica Osteria da Cera
