    The food here is such good quality and fresh, no complaints about the service. I have only good things to say about the food. I'm a vegetarian and there is a great choice. And I always have the minestrone it's just so good.

    Most definitely the best dining experience I've had in a long time. Could not fault a thing. From the get-go, staff were attentive, but not intrusive. Food was tasty full of flavour and sufficient. I had bruschetta for staters and panzerotti porcini for mains. My friend had chicken wings for starters and lasagne for mains. For dessert we both indulged in tiramisu. The restaurant had a warm welcoming feel where customers were known to and interacted with the lady who owned it. This, in my opinion, is the key to its success, the owner being present. Would highly recommend. I will be back!

    Antica Venezia is a hidden gem. Authentic Italian with a homely feel. Close your eyes when eating and you could be in Italy! The food is made with care and to an extremely high standard. Going in there you can tell the owners are friends and they meet guests by their first name. A great sign customers in the area keep coming back. I would recommend this over any other Italian restaurant food bloggers choose. The owners are also on the floor the whole night serving and taking with the customers which gives it an extra authentic Italian vibe.
