6/10When we arrived at the restaurant we discovered a table set for a very large group (well over 20) behind us. In a small room it meant that as soon as they arrived we couldn’t hear each other talk. The restaurant hadn’t warned us when we confirmed the booking and couldn’t move us because they had no other table. We were seated by the pass door as well which wasn’t great especially as one member of staff kicked it open instead of pushing it open. The noise meant we abandoned all thought of either the tasting menu or our usual lovely relaxed holiday meal. We ordered starters to share, a bowl of pasta, and a bottle of wine. The food was very good but the restaurant is expensive so it wasn’t a great evening for circa £250. When we left at 9pm there were tables free in the other room. If they had offered to move us in there for pudding/coffee it would have changed our evening. We won’t go back; the place is too small to cope with a group that size and other bookings.

6/10Not a good quality price ratio. Honest food but with poor attention to detail and presentation for the prices

10/10We had an amazing experience at Ai Gondolieri, from ambiance to service to our meal and final cocktails. It was around the corner from our Airbnb and was not only convenient but a wonderful gem! We also loved all the local students congregating our front by the local pub on the steps - it made the experience feel even more authentic. Also, if you happen to be there during white truffle season don’t miss the risotto! Thanks for everything, Ai Gondolieri! Can’t wait to be back next year.

10/10We loved the tasting menu — delicious flavors in just right amount! The setting was romantic for the table near the window. Francesca and her team were kind, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you for a wonderful night.

10/10My husband and I chose this restaurant after researching reviews we found online and was situated in the beautiful and quiet area of Dorsoduro, and conveniently was a five minute walk to our hotel to our hotel on The Grand Canal. We were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary and were greeted with congratulations and a complimentary glass of fizz🥂 We had the tasting menu which was delicious, we did not choose the wine pairing as we are ignorantly red wine lovers 🍷🍷… being a Michelin starred restaurant I would have expected it to have been more expensive, but was actually very reasonable, even the wine list was not overly priced. Also I have a food allergy and the menu had a full description on the back cover to allay any fears. To top it all off the ambience was gorgeous, with Billie Holliday quietly singing away in the background ! Thank you for an amazing evening 🙏

10/10We chose the tasting menu with matching wines. The fried zucchini flowers were slightly disappointing, rather too much batter, but the other courses more than made up for it and the wines, particularly the reds, were very well chosen. Good value.

7/10Food was very good and delicious. Ambiente: in a room with only 5 tables in a row, tiny room, stiff atmosphere. Service was friendly, but not as perfect as could be expected from a restaurant with such high prices! And in the end there was 10% tipp on the bill, calculated even on the coperto! The most expensive dinner of our holidays.
