THE PHILOSOPHY OF COMPLEX SIMPLICITY
Ai Barbacani is a historic place in Venice. It was once an ancient coal depot. Its exposed beams testify to this, which today leads the guest to a romantic experience. The name derives from the presence of the barbacani, shelves that come out of the wall structure to allow the houses on the upper floors to be larger than those on the ground floor.

Immersed in an enchanting and sensational situation, you will be able to taste our delicacies with a fabulous panoramic experience! We offer a choice of à la carte menu, the experience of eating seating at the table by the canal, or spending a special occasion with your sweetheart.

Unique experience
I called a few weeks in advance to reserve the table by the canal which is for two people but there were three of us. The staff was very kind to settle us there for lunch. The location is very romantic and one of a kind...

Wonderful experience!
I had dinner at this restaurant with my fiancé for his birthday. We had reserved a table inside without knowing there was an outside table overlooking the canal. When it was free they immediately satisfied me by moving us to finish dinner at that romantic table...

Great frying, top location!
We came back a second time, a few months later, attracted by the table by the canal and I had dinner with my girlfriend in this place in the center of Venice. Excellent and well cooked food, trained and courteous staff... We will be back!

A Romantic Evening in Venice
The Ai Barbacani restaurant is the ideal place to celebrate a feast day, especially in some corners of the venue, where the right atmosphere shines through to experience Carnival, Christmas and New Year’s Day as a couple or with best friends
Christmas and New Year's Eve
One of the most evocative seasons to visit the lagoon city is undoubtedly Christmas when the streets are illuminated by lights and the magic makes Venice even more fascinating...
