Antica Osteria Cera In Campagna lupia

It's definitely worth the two stars!

Truly a fantastic experience. The place is beautiful and unique, the food is refined and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, we'll be back. Hats off!

It is genuinely inexplicable to us how this restaurant holds 2 Michelin stars. The space itself is modern and well designed, clearly popular with locals, and surrounded by expensive cars—expectations were high. Unfortunately, the food did not come close to meeting them. The service felt rushed from start to finish. The entire meal lasted about 2.5 hours, when a 2-star tasting menu should unfold over at least 3 hours. Several dishes suffered from basic execution issues: • Three dishes were noticeably too salty • Multiple cold dishes were served on hot plates • Temperature control throughout was inconsistent Most importantly, not a single dish was remarkable. None. That is unheard of at this level. To put this in context: • A 2-star restaurant like La Peca delivered six memorable dishes. • Venissa (1 star) delivered four. • Seafood restaurants we deeply admire—Pepe Vieira, Gueyu Mar, Elkano, Campero—some without stars, deliver far superior flavor and product. • Other 2-star references such as The Smoked Room (Madrid), Coquillage, Anne de Bretagne, and Christophe Hay are consistently excellent. Here, you see good ingredients, attractive sauces, and beautiful presentation—but the taste simply does not match the visuals or the reputation. Expectations shaped by extensive dining across Europe and Asia were repeatedly unmet. Core issues: • Temperature control • Salt imbalance (too much or too little) • Lack of depth, umami, and creativity • Rushed pacing The wine selection was good, though not a precise pairing—still, it was one of the better aspects of the experience. Overall, this was a deeply disappointing meal and entirely inconsistent with what one expects from a restaurant holding two Michelin stars.

Far from the traditional osteria concept, Antica Osteria Cera offers an elegant, modern, and minimalist atmosphere where you can enjoy top-quality seafood impeccably prepared by Chef Lionello Cera. The lunch tasting menu, Monday through Friday, offers excellent value for a two-Michelin-star restaurant and consists of three dishes, each with a choice of two options. The wine list is interesting. The service is prompt, professional, and friendly, worthy of its two Michelin stars. Worth a visit.

A superior experience. My favorite among the Michelin-starred restaurants I've tried so far. Excellent quality, incredibly fresh fish, and revisited traditional dishes. The atmosphere is intimate, elegant, and quiet. A true oasis. The wine list boasts some of the best labels around. I highly recommend it.

Not much to say, except that I'd love to return. Great cuisine, high-level professionalism, and friendliness. Really, really good.

Some people come to this place frequently, others don't. My advice is to treat yourself at least once, perhaps as a personal treat to celebrate a special occasion. You'll remember it for a long time and with satisfaction. Everything was perfect. Thanks to all the staff.

Simply sensational. The interplay of flavors in the dishes and the perfect wine pairing 😍 an experience

Think of one quality a good restaurant should have and take it to the next level! Superlative!
