What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Trattoria Antiche Carampane is celebrated for its authentic Venetian seafood, with many praising the freshness and exquisite preparation of dishes like grilled octopus and crab sauce pasta. The cozy, traditional atmosphere adds to the charm. However, some diners have noted that service can be slow and occasionally rushed, and a few have found certain dishes overpriced or lacking in flavor, alongside an instance of perceived discriminatory dress code enforcement.
"One of the best meals we had in Venice! We are foodies from Brooklyn and we’ve had our fair share of delicious dinners. Don’t miss the grilled octopus, and the rest of the meal was very well prepared. It was a very full and somewhat noisy restaurant, and service could be a bit slow, but in our opinion worth it and overall highly enjoyable."

"Love this restaurant. Booked for lunch, was seated outdoors in a quiet and breezy alley. Food was spectacular, seafood was so fresh. Loved their glasswares too! Highly recommend and do book in advance."

"An excellent restaurant in Venice, recommended to me by a local. I’m glad I’d made a reservation to dine here. The food was delicious and the environment delightful. I had cuttlefish with polenta, a glass of wine and tiramisu for dessert. I also shared an antipasto - a selection of fish/seafood."
