The story
Antichi Sapori — "ancient flavours" in Italian — carries its name as a quiet promise. Located along Viale Tirreno in Chioggia, the small city at the southern tip of the Venetian lagoon, this pizzeria has built a reputation grounded in respect for traditional technique and quality ingredients.
That commitment has not gone unnoticed. Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, awarded Antichi Sapori 2 Slices — a mark of genuine distinction in a country where pizza is taken very seriously indeed.
Chioggia is a fishing town with its own proud culinary identity, and Antichi Sapori fits naturally into that fabric. The name itself signals an intention: to honour older methods rather than chase novelty. Whether through long-leavened dough, carefully sourced toppings, or a straightforward approach to service, the pizzeria has earned its place among the addresses worth seeking out in the northern Adriatic.
For visitors exploring Chioggia's colourful canals and market squares, Antichi Sapori offers a grounded, satisfying stop — pizza made with the seriousness the tradition deserves, recognised by guides and appreciated by locals alike.
