Ai Gondolieri - VENEZIA

Wonderful place for dinner! Great A/C if it’s hot and muggy outside. The Proscuitto and Melon was a fantastic starter. The special risotto of the day was Fab! The Carbonara was amazing! Wonderful Tiramisu for dessert. Great cocktails and wine. Service was fantastic. Make a reservation today!

I booked this restaurant for a special anniversary surprise for our friends we were travelling with. Ths booking was confirmed via email. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was locked up with a note on the door syaing they were closed for holidays. I called the number on their confirmaiton email and was told to go to another restaurant which was just a bar. I can't comment on the food, but their lack of customer care, or service is atrocious. I wouldn't even give them one star.

I went in to ask for a table for the evening. The two gentlemen I spoke told me that they were booked tonight, all over the Easter week and right until 21st April (a few weeks away). I got a sense they were just telling me a lie and I emailed to book a table for the evening and low and behold a table was available. I don’t know what it was about me which made them decide I wasn’t worthy of eating there, however if you are wanting to avoid a judgemental service I wouldn’t attend.

Stopped in here on my last night in Italy, having spent about a week in the country. Nice, romantic atmosphere coupled with efficient and kind service went to make it a good choice. The food was excellent, too, if a bit pricey, but at an establishment such as this, you are paying for the overall experience and memory. A lasting memory is certainly what I'll be left with of Italy, and this meal was the perfect send-off...

Great food, ambience and staff. The staff are very attentive, and the food is exquisite. Pleased to have visited whilst in Venice.
