ANTICHE CARAMPANE

San Polo, Venice, Italy

Restaurant | €€€ | Italian

Deliberately hidden and pretty famous for being so. An institution that absolutely deserves its reputation: a proper Venetian seafood restaurant with no pizza, no lasagna, and no tourists who haven't done their research. The fish crudo to share as an antipasto was excellent. Book well ahead and do not be late. One thing to know: the signs in the surrounding streets actually point visitors away from the restaurant. This was a deliberate decision by the owners to keep the clientele exactly as they want it.
