Ai Mercanti

Achieving a harmony between tradition and modernity is a frequent issue for Venice eateries, but Ai Mercanti Venice manages it with quiet assurance.This Modern Venetian restaurant sidesteps the usual tourist attractions near the city center, focusing instead on locally sourced produce and cutting-edge culinary methods over outdated conventions.

The chef Nadia Locatello desires to introduce something novel to the regional Italian dining scene. While many places in the city rely on standard seafood pasta dishes, this kitchen looks at the bounty of the Venetian lagoon through a more creative lens. With the help of her son Simone and her daughter-in-law Ania, they turned the place into a gastro-osteria, very unique in Venetian panorama both for the quality offer and the intelligent pricing of the menu.

The food was very good, each dish was perfectly cooked and flavorsome. Their signature dish, the crispy egg served with potato mousseline and Cantabrian anchovies was a knock-out winner.

The wine list was simply amazing, this primarily showcases artisan labels from Italy and France, which are lovingly recommended by sommelier Simone and his wife, Ania.

Simone and his wife, Ania, a pair of multilingual individuals, brought liveliness and energy to the service.

Ai Mercanti is certainly one of Venice's finest restaurants, and chef Nadia Locatello along with her team are undoubtedly deserving of all accolades.
