Le Antiche Sere
A small restaurant overlooking the brackish waters of Lake Lesina, where everything revolves around the professionalism and experience of chef-owner Biscotti, assisted by his two sons. The menu celebrates the flavours of Daunia, with particular emphasis on both sea fish and lake fish, cooked in classic tradition yet presented with a pleasingly modern and colourful touch. Among the most representative creations is their original dessert – now a true signature – “rigatoni al pomodoro”: puffed-pasta rigatoni filled with whipped ricotta, tomato jam and shavings of white chocolate.

Le Antiche Sere, situated on the Lesina lagoon, specializes in Apulian seafood. Diners frequently praise the exceptional freshness and masterful preparation of ingredients, highlighting dishes like mullet carpaccio, eel, and spaghetti with clams. However, service experiences vary widely. While some appreciate the professional and empathetic staff, others report significant issues with meal pacing, citing wait times of up to an hour for courses and a lack of guidance from servers. The ambiance is generally positive, with the lake-view terrace being a standout feature, though some guests found the lighting too harsh. Value is mixed, with high-quality food sometimes offset by slow service. It is best suited for those prioritizing culinary excellence over speed.
Ideal for diners prioritizing high-quality seafood over quick service.
