Antiche Carampane

Antiche Carampane Review

Since its appearance in the first of Donna Leon's Inspector Brunetti mysteries, Piera Bortoluzzi Librai's trattoria has lost none of its charm but gained considerably in elegance. You'll find all the classic Venetian fish dishes ranging from a mixed seafood antipasto to fish soups, pasta, and perfectly grilled fish. Updated plates such as seafood and fruit salads for starters and entrées like turbot with citrus sauce also delight diners. Chocolate mousse, panna cotta, and sweet wine with biscotti make delectable desserts. Francesco, the son of Franco and Piera, whose family recipes elevate many of the classics, is responsible for some of the new presentations.
