About Ai Gondolieri
Ai Gondolieri is on the Fondamenta de l’Ospedaleto in Dorsoduro, just behind the Guggenheim. Unusually for Venice the menu is built on meat and regional cooking, and the cellar is deep in whites, reds and sparkling wines.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Ai Gondolieri before you go.
