Ai Gondolieri In Venezia

We had a wonderful dinner here our first night in Venice. Excellent service and delicious food! We look forward to returning again soon.

"If I could have one meal before I die, it would be here." We overheard another diner say this at the end of their meal, and I couldn't agree more. This was Venetian cuisine elevated to another level but still approachable and friendly. The potato mousse and mushroom risotto were spectacular... The mousse in particular was unlike anything I've ever had. We paired with a glass of Barbara de Alba at the recommendation of our server, a perfect pairing, with the earthy and black fruit notes of the wine blending seamlessly with the herbal notes of the risotto. We were recommended the restaurant by our hotel, and I can see why. I wanted to clarify a couple inaccurate comments from other reviewers: the restaurant clearly states in bold on the menu that a 5 euro per person cover charge and 10% service will be included automatically. There is, however, zero expectation or pressure to tip on top of that. Also, the restaurant does not have outdoor seating, but the indoor dining room was spacious and lovely. That's no reason to dock a star from a fantastic spot. We found the service to be perfectly paced. Those who are expecting fast food service or cheap eats should go to a trattoria. Slow down and enjoy a refined and friendly meal here.

This is a very cozy, romantic little restaurant with unbelievable food and impeccable service. We highly recommend it!

Was chef Eric there? Amazing food and drinks!

This restaurant is outstanding. The food is GREAT and the service was even better. We had dishes prepared in ways never even heard of before and they were excellent. I highly recommend it here. The lasagna and eggplant were 2 of the most outstanding dishes we had, but the potato moose was also excellent and I highly recommend it.

The best carbonara pasta of my life!

Arrived when the kitchen had just closed they very kindly still served us, although they could have turned us away and had a split break! Very much appreciated as we were super hungry and had been told of the amazing food here by more than one local! The menu was traditional Italian, wide choice with vegan and veggie options. Crudités and beautiful olive oil, and bread while we waited for the food to be prepared. Must try - courgette flowers, absolutely divine. Sit by the window and you can watch the world go by on the other side of the bridge!

Incredible. So delicious (we returned for a 2nd night) during our short stay in Venezia. Everything was absolutely delicious (the melanese was incredible!... Carbonara~ to die for! Rissoto & potato mouse~ wow! No words! We loved EVERYTHING. staff was wonderful, & patient. They should have had a line around the block (doubled) as the food was fabulous. A must visit when in Venezia.

Between the cover and the surcharges, the price is higher than expected, but the food is good. The best part is the relaxed atmosphere between customers and service, making it a super pleasant place to get away from bustling Venice for a while.

Este era un gran lugar para una cena casual. Se llena rápido y la pasta casera, mejillones y postres eran fabulosos.
