"we went there to celebrate a birthday and it was our first time in antica osteria. as responsible for the arrangements, I chose it because of the excellent reviews and the promising menu. a amateur cook itself (when a more dedicated) I am always interested in high-quality ingredients and properly balanced aromen and exactly delivered. the yellow fin tuna carpaccio was absolutely perfected. the calamari fritti may look easy to cook but to get it right, which is crispy on the outside and on the inside is not easy: undercook it and get the texture of rubber bands; overcook them and all aroma is gone. antica osteria has it not only right: it also has the best I have eaten in the old. as made for the house pasta, it is all that must be good pasta, the right texture cooked to perfection and improve the delicious aromas of sauces and its ingredients. desserts were at the same high level and the limoncello gelato should not be missed. the service is excellent and the personal friendly and very helpful. combined with the great eating and a beautiful ambiente, all this adds to a wonderful culinary experience worth every minute and every dollar. I'm sorry I needed so long to go there, but I'm more than ready for many return."
