The food was so delicious and the service was outstanding. Loved it!
3.5
Overall, we were disappointed with the meal. The highlight was the potato moose. The red wine reduction on the beef fillet tasted of nothing but vinegar, looked amazing, but lacked any other flavor. Asparagus was over cooked. Service was average, water spilt everywhere, not even food in the mouth and the waitress was asking how the meal is! A very dated setting, not to our taste.

The food, wine and service were excellent! Thank you for looking after us so well doing our brief visit to Venice - we are so happy that it did not disappoint. We will definitely visit again!

The service was very professional and friendly. The setting (outside) is also very pretty - at the end of a small bridge. The food was acceptable but really nothing too special. Inside, we found the restaurant to be a little dated and dark. Also, unfortunately there was a musty smell throughout.

Aspirational restaurant in a great location. Welcome and service very warm efficient, big wine list but expensive by Italian standards (bottle of Amerone was nearly 4x UK retail price) food was good but a couple of plates didnt quite hit the heights they were aiming for

Ai Gondolieri is consistently one of the best restaurants in Venice. Attentive and welcoming service, excellent food, attractive interior, and great wine list. I’ve been going for years and am always delighted to dine there.

Located in a very charming spot, Great food! Perfect wine! The Chef’s risotto was simply amazing. A little on the expensive side but at the end of the day it is definitely worth the visit! Would do it again for sure!

This intimate Venetian gem delivers a dining experience of exceptional skill and subtle innovation. Each dish balances classic Italian tradition with thoughtful, modern reinterpretation: risottos, pastas, and meats are executed with precision, depth of flavor, and effortless elegance. Presentation is refined yet unpretentious, and even the most challenging requests are handled flawlessly, reflecting the chef’s mastery and respect for ingredients. The atmosphere is quietly sophisticated, just removed enough from the city center to feel discovered, and service is impeccable — attentive, professional, and seamless. This restaurant embodies artistry, precision, and culinary confidence; a truly remarkable experience that elevates Venice’s gastronomic landscape and deserves recognition at the highest level.

Food was excellent! Beef tartare was one of the best we’ve ever had.
9.0
Lovely little restaurant at the end of a beautiful canal. Quiet spot with very friendly service and a lovely meal. Perhaps a little overpriced really but the meals were good. It was very quiet when we visited which was lovely but perhaps detracted from the ambience - I quite like a bustling happy dining room

We returned after 9 years for a resplendent evening of fab wine and liver and onions. The best place in the world for Liver and onions without a doubt. Add onto that the rest of the remarkable food and wine and I can assure you of an amazing evening.

The service and food were amazing. The filet steam with Borolo sauce was the best I've ever had, and the wine pairings were fantastic. Great small and intimate restaurant!

Not good with allergies; told the server I was allergic to nuts and was served pistachio. Server was unable to accommodate a special request, had to ask him to speak to the chef about it before he actually agreed to accommodate.
