Antica Osteria Cera
Venetian Seafood · Venice · Campagna Lupia, Venice province · Michelin Two Stars · Chef Lionello Cera
Antica Osteria Cera lies along a quiet canal road in Campagna Lupia — the flat, watery farmland between Venice and Chioggia. What began as Lionello Cera's family osteria has evolved into one of Italy's most idiosyncratic fine dining experiences: a seafood-only restaurant that serves the Adriatic in all its complexity, from raw Venetian crudo to charcoal-grilled whole fish, across 12 courses illustrated and narrated by Cera himself.
