Fodor's Review:
If you're tired of fish, this is the place to go, as meat dishes from the mainland are menu mainstays. Despite the tourist-trap name and proximity to the Guggenheim Museum, it's a favorite with Venetians looking to splurge. Feast on filetto di maiale con castraure (pork fillet with baby artichokes), duck breast with apple and sweet onion, or more traditional dishes from the Veneto hills such as horse meat and game, gnocchi, and polenta. The wine list is above average in quality and variety.

Overpriced
Posted by NT from England on 11/13/07
Having read various reviews on a variety of websites we decided to try AG. Very disappointed. Prices are high (we paid about £120 ($240) for 2 courses and a good bottle of wine) - which we don't mind if you get good quality but the food was average. My wife had dep fied zucchini flowers for a starter for which we paid something like $20 and veal cheeks with polenta which was about $30 -both very ordinary. We paid something similar at the Metropole the previous evening but it was worth every penny. AG is just not in the league that it likes to think it is in.RATING: 3.2
Nice Experience
Posted by Kathy from Philadelphia on 8/23/05
We enjoyed our meal here. The decor of the restaurant is a little boring, and we were concerned we were in for a dull meal. We were pleasantly surprised that the food was quite good. My husband ordered the lamb chops. They were lightly fried with a breading, but perfectly pink inside. We've never had lamb chops prepared in this way, but they were great. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful.RATING: 3.6
