About
The restaurant is located in Salizzada Ca Zusto, between Campo San Giacomo dellOrio and Campo Nazario Sauro in a very privileged position in the hidden Venice, away from the throngs of tourists yet conveniently close to the centre.The outside seating area is characterized by a plant of vines which embraces the entire facade, creating a pergola which provides welcome shade during the summer heat spells. On the side of the restaurant is one of the narrowest calli (Venetian street or alley) in Venice: two persons cannot walk in it side by side! The trattorias inside decor is warm and inviting: two inside rooms, for a total of 50 seats, with furnishings from the late 19th century, including marble tables, graceful sideboards and glass cases, original thonet chairs, and a collection of paintings by well-known artists which embellish the walls. That alone would be enough to attract connoisseurs in search of a special place to have a meal! But, most importantly, the Antica Besseta provides an excellent cuisine which is halfway between the discovery of traditions and the search of new sensations.Details

Aside from the excellent local dishes, the proprietor was on hand, friendly and had a good sense of humour. I would visit again without a doubt.
Just enough off the beaten path and tucked away from the summer crowds. Great outdoor tables along a low traffic street. We had some of the best beef and lamb paired with a good wine list. Will definitely be back.
