    My gondolier recommend this spot, but i was not impressed. The anti pasta with seafood was mediocre. The best was the clam in the middle. The tuna was okay as well, The pasta with mussel was fine. The seafood was fresh but the flavors didnt suit my palette. Overall a bit expensive imo.

    Almond Crusted Salmon

    Everything here was phenomenal from the Wine, the Baby Calamari Fritto, to the Almond crusted salmon down to the Tiramisu and the espresso. So glad we asked a gondolier where he eats. This was 100% our favorite place to have dinner in Venice. The ambiance is very nice and authentic with oil paintings hanging on the walls and the Gondolier hats hanging from the ceiling. We will be back the next time we are in Venice for sure.

    Swordfish.

    My wife had the sirloin steak and I had the swordfish. My wife does like seafood, however, she ended finishing half my swordfish and eating half the appetizer of clams and oysters. The food is cooked to perfection! The food paired well with the house Cabernet. We will be back soon!

    Sauteed mussels and clams in wine
    Morgan H.

    We tried this restaurant on our first night in Italy/Venice after looking for a place that had ample seafood options. Our host and server were very attentive, taking our orders and delivering the food promptly. I had the sauteed mussels and clams with tomatoes, lemon, wine, garlic, butter and other herbs. It was extremely satisfying and the main seafood dishes and second courses were very reasonably priced for the amount of high-quality seafood and choices. My brother had the squid ink pasta, which came with large chunks of sauteed squid, green pasta and ink sauce. The house white wine was also excellent. If you are looking for a quieter place slightly away from the San Marco crowds with a TON of seafood options, this is a good option. My only complaint was that they charged 3 euros per person for bread that we did not request. Also, make sure to ask for the check and then pay at the counter as in most places in Italy.

    Pasta with scallops
    Blake W.

    While in Venice, I went here twice with my family (of 4), both times for dinner. Everything at Antico Calice is delicious. Every dish is made fresh and with local ingredients, so the pasta dishes come with a different sauce based on the ingredients available that day at the market. The seafood is amazing. They are able to cook every type of fish on their menu to perfection. I can personally attest to the tastiness of both pastas with monkfish and mussels, respectively, as well as the filet steak, which was juicy and seasoned to a T. We also had the tiramisu which was classic and delicious. The atmosphere is cozy and the presentation of each dish is beautiful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting (or living in, for that matter) Venice.

    The clam pasta is incredible! A large portion for each person. The service is bustling and typical Italian, but it's not about speedy service. It's about taste that changes your world. This is that place! Also got the tris cod and polenta dish and it was delicious! We loved this place! True to Venetian food and experience. Will go back...for our third time this trip :)

    Mixed seafood appetizer
    Sherry C.

    We arrived for our dinner reservation at 7:30pm but found the door was locked. A local friendly Italian woman made them open it for us and they gave us white wine on the house. We were seated at around 8pm and then ordered. Food ordered included mixed seafood appetizer, lobster spaghetti, squid Ink tagliatelle with cuttlefish, grilled eggplant and zucchini. Antipast misto included baccala, octopus, cuttlefish, sardines, squid innards, mini shrimps, scallops and polenta. Everything was tender, especially the inside of the squid. The squid ink pasta had the most tender cuttlefish I have eaten along with homemade tagliatelle with black squid ink. The portions were huge for the pasta. This is another one of my favorite restaurants during my visit to Italy. Will definitely return. They are moving to a larger location soon.

    Tri Cod w/ Polenta.
    Hemraj P.

    Here in Venice expect a lot of fresh seafood options. Group of friends had some really tasty dishes from Tri Cod, Steak and House Lasagna. Service is good, waiter was pretty attentive and helpful for selections. I would recommend this place.

    Best meal I have ever had. It was a seafood dish with vinaigrette and lots of onions. Love it. Went to this restaurant in the summer.

    Best meal I have had. It was a seafood dish with vinaigrette and lots of onions. Love it. Went to this restaurant in the summer, staff was decent, (it was busy) but the food was amazing. I got back to the United states for about 2 months now and I kept reminding myself to put this 'review up'. Would go again..

    The fried fish was ok. My wife's black cuddle fish was ok at best too. But the mood and wine was good. Just average I guess.

    2 words- food poisoning. We came here for dinner on our first night in Venice because of the great…read morereviews. The staff was so kind and helpful! We sat indoors which felt so nice with the AC! The food and drinks were okay taste-wise. I would give the taste a 6.5 out of 10. Good yet not tons of flavor. The food was good for filling our tummies in the moment but not good enough to return. The worst part - food poisoning. I had the calamari and boyyyyy was I sick afterwards. It turned our experience from "okay" to "ouchhhhh". Unfortunately, we will not be returning for more. :(

    Was able to make a reservation for 3 somehow on some local platform (spouse) for 8 pm Sunday…read moreevening in June. Other walk in accommodated as much as possible. Arrived a bit early and seated at window seat inside immediately. The inside is cozy but adequate. The staff hustled and were very efficient and friendly. We ordered the seafood special based upon walking in and seeing a huge pan on fresh seafood on table and thus made it easy for me and the kid to decide. It was their house special at 35 euros per person (minimum 2). Included lobster and a bunch of shrimp, clams, mussels, and calamari in a red broth. Also two large scallops. Takes at least 30 minutes to prep so need the appetizers to get you by. The also close out the special by tossing in pasta after your done with the seafood into the remaining broth. Full disclosure it's a mess to eat. Must use hands. The cover you with s bib. It was delicious. The spouse does not like briny seafood so she didn't eat much but more than enough for 3 (except not for the scallops and lobster portion). We started with a few appetizers. Spouse had the lasagna. It looked good and home made but again I ignored it due to the mountain in front of me. A few drinks and bottle of water. I wish the pasta was available before the end but understand they want to toss it into your pan of sauce. I had originally asked to order a pasta to complement but they said it came with a pasta after ( so I agreed ). Obviously we are tourist so I can't take extra home of which would have been plenty. Total cost about 143 euros. (No additional taxes or tip). Credit card available but we needed to roll home to hotel so left 150 cash on table.
