Frommer's Review

The unassuming storefront of this longtime favorite does little to announce that herein lies some of the neighborhood's best dining. The name refers to the brothers-in-law of the three women chefs, all sisters, who serve classic cucina veneziana, like the reliably good spaghetti alle vongole verace (with clams) or fegato alla veneziana. The homemade gnocchi and lasagna would meet any Italian grandmother's approval (you won't go wrong with any of the menu's fatta in casa choices of daily homemade specialties either). Equidistant from the Accademia and the Guggenheim, Ai Cugnai is the perfect place to recharge after an art overload.
