Ristorante Antica Sacrestia

We were so excited to visit this restaurant after walking by and seeing how aesthetic and comfortable the courtyard looked. The menu posted on the wall sounded wonderful - and since we were traveling with someone who is a celiac, we had seen that this was a safe option. That being said- when we arrived for lunch, the entire place was empty with the exception of one other table. And they sat us immediately next to them. Which, since there is no music or background noise inside, makes for an awkward "I should whisper" vibe. We ordered two gluten free pasta dishes along with aperol spritzs' - the spritz was good but we were disappointed in the lack of olive after having one at every other place. The biggest issue though was the food. The first thing we noticed is that the portion size for gluten free pasta is less than half the size of a regular pasta dish. The spaghetti with tomato sauce was so undercooked the noodles were hard to chew, and was overly salted. The pasta carbonara though was next level salty - we could not taste ANYTHING over the level of salt- essentially like licking a salt block. The bacon was less salty than the pasta. The wait staff was polite but not very present and we eventually had to flag them down to get our check. This was sadly our least favorite meal while in Venice, and I wouldn't recommend it to other traveling and looking for a gluten free meal.

Great food, cozy premises and gluten-free pasta!
