    We had really good Italian foods in Rome, so naturally wanted our first meal at Venezia to be Italian as well. Our hotel staff recommended Ai-Do Fogheri. The restaurant was just a short walk away from the hotel. The inside was very nicely decorated & cozy, wasn't that busy when we went for dinner at 8:30 pm. Unfortunately that's all the good stuff I can say about this place. Couple of things made our visit to the restaurant not so pleasant. No.1: after we were seated and given our menu to decide, it took them almost 20-22 minutes to come and take our orders...I already mentioned earlier that they were not busy (less than 50% full) at that time. No.2: one of our knives were dirty. No.3: the menu is in Italian! I guess that's not a complete surprise, but when we were asking questions to our waiter before placing orders he was answering almost 85% in Italian and was visibly annoyed by us (keep in mind, we are not "white people"). No.4: such a confusing menu! Was trying to order something from the "Primi Di Carne, first courses with meat" section and eventually came to know that only 2 dishes out of 5 listed there have meat in them :/ We have been in Italy already 5 days now, and had the pleasure to enjoy Italian food in at least 6-7 different restaurants. But I don't think this restaurant is anything special, items are overpriced and the foods don't taste that good either.

    Traffic copping at Ai-Do Fogheri!

    Always great to stop here for dinner! We've nevertheless sat on the patio before but what a great experience. We were right next to the grill. It was awesome to watch a master griller at work. I had the grilled sausages and polenta. Flavorful and the polenta was perfectly prepared. I also had the gnocchi stuffed with gorgonzola. Yum but a lot of food! Did my best to work it. Friends had the seafood pasta, which was loaded with fresh goodies from the ocean nearby and Lasagna, which is a signature dish here and appropriately so.... its perfect.

    It is very nice atmosphere. I came here to eat alone during my business trip in Venice. The menu has English menu below the Italian menu. It is very helpful. There are only two main menu: steak or fish to choose. All my food orders are delicious. I am definitely came back again.

    Well stocked bar with lots of Chianti from the region.

    Food is average, prices are fair, service is very slow and waiters and waitress are not very pleasant.

    If you are looking for authentic Italian hospitality and quinine, this is a great choice.

    Lots and lots of restaurants to choose from in Venice but this unassuming restaurant is a true gem…read more It's easy to miss as it's tucked in a corner right by a bridge. Once inside they have a couple tables with small window views of any gondolas passing by. We started off with a plate of lightly fried sardines topped with pickled white onions. The fry on the fish was super light and those vinegar-y onions were the perfect pairing. We cleaned that plate. The lasagna was well balanced with the meat, sauce, cheese. The squid ink pasta was chewy/al dente with a subtle touch of seafood flavors giving the cuttlefish. It was very umami but nothing too overbearing. Delicious! It's a Family business that was been around for many years. Grazie to the friendly staff and chef!

    I am so sad to give this restaurant such a poor rating after visiting many times during the last 20…read moreyears and loving it before. The jovial mood with the waiters with big personalities is gone. The menu you can find online is no longer available so you get a very limited menu to choose from--nearly entirely seafood. So if you have anyone in your party that just wants pasta with a red meat sauce or a non seafood lasagne, not available. We were a party of 8. Two people ordered the scallop appetizers. Pretty presentation on shells. 3 tiny scallops in the shells. More like an amuse bouche. Totally disappointing. The linguine with clams as an entree had clams so small you almost needed a magnifying glass to see them. Couldn't taste the clams and annoying to try to eat something so tiny , and just try to eat the pasta with all those tiny shells. The baby shrimp on polenta was actually good. But again the shrimp were like tiny hatchlings tempura battered. Tasted okay except for those that were soggy from the polenta that was very soupy. I wanted the gnocchi with crab which was on the very limited menu but no longer available. The alternative was gnocchi with a sea bass sauce which I chose but didn't like at all. The gnocchi were good but the sauce wasn't at all for me. We had to continue to ask for side dishes for the bread, butter, olive oil, salt and pepper. We will not return. Poor value for your money. Plus there is a cover charge and service included in your bill which was a surprise. Very sad to see our favorite Venetian restaurant decline so much.
