"A little research and planning goes a long way, I cannot say enough how thankful I feel for Michelin Guide for us to find Ai Mercanti. We have our 9pm reservation, book about 2-3 weeks ahead of time. Diners were still coming in for later seating so the outdoor dinning area was vibrant the entire time during our stay. The service from the team was spot on. Great recommendation on natural wine by the bottle at reasonable price. For starter we had the marinated sardine with red onions and polenta chips. Yup, amazingly fresh sardine, generously portioned (4 ps) at $13. Wow! Ordered the homemade fettuccine $15, anchovy butter. Perfecto! The flavor with the anchovy butter was just right, not overpowering. The Cod in a lightly spiced coconut $23 was cooked well, with the well balanced-coconut milk broth that compliment the delicate texture of the cod. It was an extremely enjoyable meal, let me tell you this. You need to come check it out the next time you are in Venice."

We dined in the square in front of the restaurant in their dehor Service, carefree and fresh quality raw materials and interesting and not trivial proposal. Unpredicted wine charter. At the end of the dinner we entertained ourselves in pleasant chat with the owner who, very kindly, recommended us for aperitifs/pranzi/cenes of the following days Go to us!

You have to search out this restaurant, it is down a narrow alley and you are welcomed into a courtyard where there is outdoor dining. We sat outside on a Saturday night in early September. The staff were welcoming and very knowledgeable about their wine list and menu. Delicious food made with the freshest of ingredients simply sublime. Could not recommend highly enough a must visit!.

My daughter and I stumbled upon Ai Mercanti 5 years ago, lost and wandering down alleys in Venice, looking for a great lunch spot. It was so amazing we went back for dinner the next night. Five years later, another trip to Italy planned, thus was the first reservation we made. And the food, the ambiance, the service all lived up to the memory. Again we ate there twice. The Spaghetti Aglio e Olio Pepperoncino is epic, the risotto delicious we cleaned our plates. Soritzes and wine suggestions on point. I handed out cards to other travellers we met on our trip recommending this gem. It's once again on my must visit list next trip. View menu

I wanted a quick lunch, but once I entered this restaurant, from the parts of san marco and very nice, seen the menu, I decided to get some dishes that in paper attracted me a lot. and so began with eggs with asparagus, dish for nothing trivial, elaborated with competence and beautifully presented; follow a risotto with asparagus and mussels, very tasty and, why not, a chocolate dessert of different concimances. a glass of an excellent sparkling wine before and an interesting crossroads of beef then, a service of two very good boys (perhaps the managers saw the passion they put us) an account also low for the quality of food and wines. very good and marked among the favorites in venezia.

Great little spot in a tucked away alley. It was a little difficult to find, but nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the more touristy sections of Venice. We were visiting in August, so Venice was absolutely mobbed with tourists. The food and service were great. We enjoyed the steak carpaccio and salad, the apparently crispy egg, pasta with garlic oil and parmigiana, and the roast chicken. All of the dishes were excellent. We also started with some oysters, but we didn 't love them because they were huge. Not a knock on the quality of the oysters, we just don 't like the oversized oysters in general. They also have a good selection of natural wine. Our server recommended a bottle...
