Nowadays "Ai Gondolieri" is one of the best Venetian restaurant but its origin dates back to the first decades of the 20th century as the meeting place of the inhabitants and workers of that area. Its signboard is in forties characters and it is protected as historical sign by the Venetian city Council.
The restaurant was then a place where to eat a simple dish, drink a glass of wine and play cards. The current owner, Giovanni Trevisan, has restored and renewed the restaurant in 1987 and he has created a meeting place for culinary art and kind hospitality.
The restaurant is in a quiet area of Venice very close to the Guggenheim Foundation and the Academy Galleries. The restaurant has two rooms and a bar which is at the entrance, where you can still drink a glass of wine or an aperitif.
The men? is a winning idea: it is not a standard fish menu but a series of dishes inspired by the season first fruits and very particular meats.
