Traditional dishes of Verona. Where can you eat in Verona? Where to eat in Verona
As with many popular tourist spots in Italy, it is not easy to find
where to eat in Verona inexpensively and tasty. Thousands of tourists from all over the world crowd into this city
all year round.
Especially near attractions in the medieval city center, on
the popular romantic Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza Bra, which
located near the Roman arena.
The food in these places is unlikely to be very exotic, and the bill after the meal can ruin your mood for the whole day. But take the time to wander the tiny streets away from the center and you'll find charming places serving traditional cuisine from the region at reasonable prices, rarely exceeding €15.
Below we have collected places where you can eat inexpensively and deliciously in Verona.
Osteria Sottriva
The establishment offers traditional Italian cuisine. Osteria Sottriva is hidden from inattentive eyes in a gallery on a picturesque street. The warmth and hospitality of the cafe is felt as soon as you cross its threshold. The establishment has almost 300 years of history. At the beginning of its existence, it served boatmen who sailed on the Adige River. Today they prepare healthy dishes such as meatballs, meat pasta and horse meat stew. Osteria Sottriva is a place where you can come and relax, especially
that on the wall of the establishment there is a sign “servizio lento”, which means “slow service”.
The establishment can be found at Via Sottoriva 9A.
This place is very convenient to come to have lunch after exhausting shopping on the nearby Via Mazzini street. Finding a cafe is not difficult - you just need to join the crowd that is leaving the shopping street. The establishment offers its visitors traditional Italian dishes and a soft green interior. Choosing a dish for lunch will not be easy: you will have to choose between pancakes with different fillings, traditional Verona pizza dishes, an abundance of varieties of pastas, and all this will be delivered to your table straight from the oven. Corte Farina also offers visitors a summer playground during the warm season.
The establishment is located at 4 Corte Farina street.
In the very center of the city, just a few steps away from the popular landmarks of the Arch of Scaligeri and Piazza Dante, there is a cozy cafe serving Italian cuisine Trattoriaal Solito Posto. They serve excellent food in the best traditions of Verona and with the freshest
The establishment is located at Via Santa Maria in Chiavica.
offers visitors a superb combination of traditional Verona dishes with new recipes by the talented chef Marco Segattini using the best fresh products of the region. Although the interior of the establishment is very cozy, in summer it is worth sitting in the open area with a sunny terrace. A generous portion of pasta here costs €6-7. One of the most delicious dishes here is a creamy risotto called “all’Amarone”, which is prepared using the best wines from the Verona region. Vecchia Fontanina can please cheese lovers with a large number of dishes with the addition of exclusive varieties of locally produced cheese.
The establishment is located about the address piazzetta Chiavica,5.
On the quiet banks of the Adige River, just a 10-minute walk from the center of Verona, is an establishment that serves Italian home cooking. Trattoria Papa e Cicia. Many locals say this is the best place to eat in Verona. For just 11€ you can order a main course, pasta, dessert, wine or coffee and water. It’s hard to imagine a more complete lunch for that kind of money. Every evening they prepare risotto, the recipe of which is different every day. It can be prepared with mushrooms, asparagus, seafood, meat and Parmesan.
Located Trattoria Papa e Cicia in via Seminario, 4.
A cozy establishment located in close proximity to popular tourist spots in the city center - a real find. This is a unique place run by a married couple. They are also the main workforce of this place. Enocibus does not have a fixed menu. Every day new dishes are prepared here according to family recipes. Instead, the cost of dishes is fixed here - the main course and pasta cost 5.5 €, huge portions of salads cost 6.5 €. The most expensive dish here is fried pork shank, costing 13€. However, the big temptation is the extensive wine list with unique and expensive wines.
Enocibus is located at Via Vicolo Pomo d’Oro, 3.
When going on a trip, we always study in detail information about local attractions and traditional local cuisine. Taking this aspect into account, I will tell you about gastronomic.
As you remember, in my first article about I already mentioned that each region or individual city in Italy is famous for its dishes and products. Recipes for their preparation are carefully preserved and passed down from generation to generation in every family. Also, not a single city holiday is complete without them, which is beautifully called “sagra” here.
Historical reference
Since Roman times, Verona has always been associated with rich and delicious cuisine. The families of local patricians were famous for their large-scale and full of appearances receptions. Medieval chronicles contain references to the lavish dinners that the heads of the famous Verona Church loved so much.
Local residents have carried this love for “delicious food” through the centuries and to this day do not indulge in this desire.
P.S. Let me remind you that here we are talking specifically about this region. If you are somewhere else, I assure you, they will tell you about the unique taste of their dishes and will not lie at all)))) Another feature of the Italians that I really like.
Traditional dishes of Verona
Bollito con la pearà
One of the main dishes of local cuisine is boiled young beef on the bone. To add a special flavor, celery, onions and carrots are added to the broth. The meat is served with la pearà sauce. To prepare it, use broth, to which breadcrumbs, grated cheese (Parmiggiano Reggiano) and black pepper and bone marrow are added.
By tradition, not a single Sunday family lunch in Verona is complete without this dish.
Bigoli al ragù di asino
Bigoli is one of the types of pasta, which is thick-walled and hollow inside spaghetti. In Verona, they are prepared with the addition of minced donkey meat. Tasty? Incredible! It’s impossible to describe, I suggest you try it!
Gnocchi (gnocchi)
Small balls of mashed potatoes, with the addition of a little flour and eggs.
Served boiled with the addition of tomatoes or meat stew.
Pastissada di Caval
Another favorite dish of local residents, which is prepared according to ancient recipes from horse meat.
The tradition of eating horse meat dates back to the mid-5th century AD. In 489, after one of the hardest battles between the king of the Ost-Goths, Theodoric, and the head of a detachment of barbarian mercenaries in the Roman Empire, Odoacer, a lot of horses froze (it was very cold that year). Exhausted by hunger and constant attacks from enemies, the city residents decided to marinate the meat in local well-aged red wine and season it with spices.
These days, the meat is also pre-soaked in red wine and then simmered over very low heat. It turns out very tasty.
The list of traditional dishes is complemented by two very tasty types of risotto
Risotto al Amarone
Prepared with the addition of local Amarone wine, which is highly valued here. The technology of its production is a rather long and labor-intensive process.
Risotto al tastasal
When preparing it, one of the prerequisites is the use of Vialone Nano rice, to which minced pork is added.
And, of course, on any menu you will find the famous polenta.
A favorite dish of the inhabitants of northern Italy. Polenta is made from corn flour, which is poured into boiling water, stirring all the time so that no lumps form. The process is reminiscent of preparing semolina porridge.
Eaten hot or chilled. To do this, pour the hot mass into a mold and wait until it cools down. Then it is cut into pieces and heated on the grill.
In Verona, polenta is served with stewed beans or game meat.
Where to taste local cuisine in Verona
Just recently I discovered an amazing osteria "Al Duca", which belongs to the same Verona family. The idea of the opening belonged to the grandmother of the manager Alessandro, whose business was supported by his mother, and later he himself got involved.
The Osteria is located in the heart of Verona. Literally a few steps from one of the most beautiful and mesmerizing sights of the city - Arche Scaligere.
The restaurant occupies the first and second floors of a building whose construction dates back to the 13th century. By the way, house this one is very popular among tourists, which causes some inconvenience to residents. They say that he lived here himself Romeo Montague (of course, this is a legend)!
The design of the establishment is in a rustic style, which has become quite popular recently. Delicious, home-cooked food, an excellent selection of wines, a convenient location and a warm welcome have made this place a favorite among Veronese families. And our couple is no exception.
I would like to note that literally next door there is another osteria this family "Osteria Giulietta e Romeo".
The menu and address of the establishment can be found on the website, where there is also an option in Russian.
Pay attention to a very pleasant moment. The osteria offers a two-course menu option that you can choose from a list. The cost is 18 euros (the dishes are quite large). There are also options with meat only, the price is correspondingly slightly higher.
Attention! If you plan to visit the establishment on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, then I advise you to book a table in advance. These days the osteria operates in two rounds. At other times it is quite free here).
Well, that's all I wanted to tell you today. To tell the truth, my appetite has worked in earnest)))

Kitchen
The cuisine of Verona, like the entire Veneto region, is very diverse. Verona is the birthplace of many dishes and wines known throughout the world. If you like to try the traditional cuisine of the places where you travel, we have listed below the most famous typical dishes of Verona. Let's start with food:
One of the historical Verona dishes, which is made from potatoes, is gnocchi(gnocchi). These are potato dumplings served with various sauces.
- Another typical first course (and as you know, first courses in Italy are not called soups at all, but pasta and risotto) is risotto with minced pork(Risotto al tastasal).
-
polenta(polenta) - corn porridge served with various sauces (meat, cheese, game, etc.).
- Bollito con la pearà - assorted boiled meat with a very hot sauce made from bread, spinal cord, broth, parmesan. There is a lot of pepper in this dish.
- Brasato di manzo all'Amarone - beef stewed in Amarone wine
.
We advise you not to give up dessert for anything in Verona! Well-known "specialties" of Verona are, for example, macaroons croccante, world famous Christmas cake Pandoro and crumb cake Sbrisolona .
Wines of Verona
Verona is a paradise for wine lovers. The region produces 2 million centners of DOC wine (this is a classification of wine quality, you can read more in English), and ranks first in Italy in the production of wines of such high quality. In the Veneto region, 22 types of DOC vintage wines are produced, and 10 of them are made from grapes grown precisely near Verona, and it is in Verona that two types of wine are produced, which are the only ones with a double quality mark (controlled and guaranteed origin) - Bardolino Classico DOCG and Recioto di Soave.
If you are not very knowledgeable about wine, you may not find the information in the previous paragraph too interesting. Therefore, below we will simply list those brands of wine that you can buy and order in local restaurants if you want to try locally produced wine. A bottle of this wine will also serve as an excellent gift for friends and family.
Red wines: Valpolicella, Amarone, Bardolino,
White wines: Custoza, Durello, Soave, Lugana
Dessert wines: Recioto di Valpolicella, Recioto di Soave
.
Of these wines, perhaps the most interesting story can be boasted by Amarone - a wine with a rather specific taste. This wine happened by accident - according to legend, the producer wanted to make Recioto wine from the grapes, but forgot about it, and it lay in the barrel for too long. The product continued to ferment, soon all the sugar went into alcohol, and the wine lost its sweetness. Contrary to what this wine was supposed to be, it was called Amarone (very bitter).
Restaurants, cafes and bars
The old town has many pleasant restaurants, osterias and trattorias to suit every taste and budget. The main thing is to adhere to the universal rule of any city on earth - turn off the main street and you will definitely find something tastier, cheaper and more interesting. Rule number two: the fewer tourists, the more authentic the place.
For those who doubt their taste, choose Tripadvice.
1. Dodici Apostoli
Corticella S.Marco, 3
On the one hand, the place is touristic. On the other hand, the residents of Verona themselves love him very much and recommend him. The prices are not cheap at all, but the place is very suitable for, for example, a business dinner, or to celebrate an important event, as well as for those who want to immerse themselves in history even while eating. The restaurant is famous for its wine cellar, in which in 1980, during reconstruction, the remains of a church, apparently built in 50 AD, were unearthed, as well as the perfectly preserved ruins of a house built in 1250 from the stones of the collapsed exterior walls of the Verona amphitheater Arena. Just ask the waiter and they will be happy to give you a short tour.

Sunday is a day off
Verona-one of the most romantic cities in the world, famous for Shakespeare's story of Romeo and Juliet. It is located in the north of Italy in the Veneto region on the banks of the Adige River. An excellent choice for spending a holiday with your loved one or with friends. There is something to see, where to go, where to eat deliciously and inexpensively, and where to go shopping. Every February, for Valentine's Day, the "Verona in Love" show takes place in Verona, the whole city is decorated with hearts and illuminations, the romanticism of the atmosphere is off the charts. “If you love someone, bring them to Verona” is the city's February motto.
Direct flights from Moscow Domodedovo Airport by S-7 fly daily at 11.35 am and cost from 6,500 to 20,000 rubles; the earlier you buy a ticket before the departure date, the cheaper it costs. Please note that the S-7 company has different tariffs and if you want to save a little, buy a tariff without luggage. For a 5-7 day vacation, a small suitcase is enough, which is included in the tariff (hand luggage). Also, you can take a flight with a transfer in Chisinau from All Italia and a number of other companies. When making a transfer, for example, in Paris or Munich, you can also see these cities in 4-5 hours). Next, I will tell you how you can visit Verona quite economically and how much it costs. We will consider two options, economy and
option“I work, I can afford it.”
Video Verona. View from a quadcopter.
So, you have landed at Verona Valerio Catullo airport. Next, you have several ways to get to the city:
1. Bus, also known as Shuttle. Where can I find it? It’s simple, we leave the arrivals hall, turn right, we see the same tourists with suitcases five meters from you, here it is – the stop. The ticket is sold directly at the same place in the machine, costs 6 euros and is valid for 90 minutes. This excellent and comfortable transport will take you in 25-30 minutes to Verona Station (Verona Porta Nuova), which is located in the city center. Walking from the station to the Arena takes about 15 minutes at an average pace. Which direction should I go? From the bus, turn left and go straight all the time, with slight deviations due to road junctions.
2. Taxis, there are a lot of them at the airport, they are all absolutely legal and safe, but they are expensive. All drivers naturally forget English as soon as you want to negotiate payment. On average, a taxi from the airport to the center of Verona costs 50-60 euros for tourists who speak English well and 20-30 euros if you speak Italian well (tested from personal experience).
3. Rent a car at Verona Airport. A very convenient option for those who, in addition to Verona itself, are planning to visit neighboring cities (Milan, Venice, Bologna, Vicenza, Ferrara and the surrounding area of Lake Garda). You can rent a car in advance while planning your vacation; for your convenience, this can be done on my website. Rental counters for all major companies such as Avis, Hertz, etc. located in the airport area, it is very easy to find them, just pick up the keys to the car and enjoy free movement around the city. You just need to select “Italy” in the search form, dates and click on search, then select the city of Verona, the location of Verona Airport and the time at which you plan to pick up the car.
Regarding our driver’s license, it is, of course, advisable to apply for an international one at the traffic police department at the place of residence, but no one particularly finds fault with ordinary ones. Have a nice holiday;)
p.s. I promise you a separate article about driver’s licenses for those who want to live in Italy, since Russian ones can only be used for the first three months.
Where to eat in Verona?
So, you arrived in the center, found your hotel, apartment. I talk in detail about how to choose them and book them profitably here. Of course, you are hungry after the flight and want to start exploring the excellent Italian cuisine. I recommend you visit the following establishments where you can have a delicious and inexpensive meal in Verona: pizzeria Bella Napoli, they have the most delicious pizza in the city, be sure to try the pizza that bears the name of the restaurant. The prices are quite affordable, pizza costs from 6 euros, three of you can have a good meal for 15-20 euros. Appetizers, pastas and desserts at Bella Napoli are also excellent. I also recommend for a family or a large group to order a meter pizza, but it really is almost a meter long). Pizzeria address: Via Guglielmo Marconi 16 | Via Guglielmo Marconi 11, don’t be surprised that there are two addresses, this is the same establishment, it’s just that everyone who wants to eat pizza stopped flocking to one restaurant and on the opposite side of the road the owners opened a second, but newer one. The photo shows an old pizzeria. It’s better to book a table for the evening in advance, five years in advance. Once I just went there without a reservation and there was a table... During the day you can almost always eat without a reservation or queues. In general, on behalf of all local residents, I highly recommend this establishment, and I remind you once again that you can try not only pizza there, but also all traditional Italian dishes. You can also take pizza away or order delivery to your apartment or hotel.
Another very nice and tasty place in Verona Cappa Cafe. The prices here are also quite affordable. A very atmospheric place with soft sofas and two summer verandas, one of which has a beautiful view of the Adige River. It’s nice to sit here in a cheerful, noisy group over an aperitif, or spend an evening with your family.
TOURISTS' ANSWERS:
Italy...yes, tourists associate the most delicious memories and extra pounds after trips with this country. So when you go on a trip, be prepared that you will want to go to every cafe and try absolutely everything; moreover, all the dishes and drinks here are very tasty. Especially in Verona, you should pay attention to seafood dishes.
While walking around Verona, you should definitely visit the restaurant, which stands on the ruins of an ancient church. Restaurant 12 apostlesDodici Apostoli was founded around 1750, at that time there was a small tavern where 12 local merchant friends came. Over time, the tavern began to be named after them - the 12 apostles. In the 19th century, the restaurant was purchased by the Giocco family, who still own the establishment. In the 80s of the last century, the restaurant was renovated and under the foundation they discovered the skeleton of a church building built in the 1st century AD, which in turn was built from stones from the already destroyed Arena amphitheater. By the way, the waiters are very happy to show tourists a cellar with the remains of ancient walls. The restaurant is certainly not the cheapest, dinner for two will cost from 70 to 150 euros, but the excursion and delicious dinner are worth it.
Another popular place among tourists is the restaurant. Antico Caffe Dante, there are more tourists here than locals, well, to be honest, I can’t say that the dishes are worth their prices, but this is so, looking ahead. The restaurant was awarded a certificate of quality in 2013, located on the cozy square Piazza dei Signori, 2. The dishes are simply amazing, but the food and taste are the most ordinary, there is nothing here that would make this place the best, everything is tasty, but ordinary. For dinner for two you will have to pay approximately 100 euros. For such a simple salad of tomatoes and cheese you will have to pay 11 euros. 
For a delicious home-cooked Italian lunch, the small café is worth a visit Osteria Da Morandin, which is located just a 10-minute drive from the station, the exact address is Via XX settembre 144. The restaurant has a cozy homely atmosphere, the owners of the establishment are a young couple, very nice and friendly people. Dinner for two will cost approximately 40-50 euros maximum. And the portion sizes are such that one plate of spaghetti is enough for two. 
Another small cozy restaurant in Verona with reasonable prices is Officina dei Sapori, located at Via Giovanni Battista Moschini 26. They serve excellent Mediterranean dishes, especially shrimp, they can literally make you choke on your saliva. The restaurant has a very cozy romantic atmosphere, white furniture with dark upholstery, ideal for a romantic dinner in the city of love. 
It's worth visiting the restaurant for delicious mussels. S. Eufemia, they serve delicious mussels in marinade. Finding an establishment is also not difficult; there is a restaurant not far from the Arena behind McDonald’s (yes, it’s better not to go to this establishment at all in any country in the world). If you are very hungry, then order the entire menu at once, which includes risotto with seafood; I have never tried tastier rice. And you will also be pleasantly surprised by the prices; lunch for two will cost from 30 to 50 euros only. If you stop by for dinner, order a glass of white wine... it might be the most enjoyable meal of your entire trip.
If you want more extravagant dishes, such as grilled swordfish, monkfish with grilled vegetables, then you should visit the restaurant Al Capitan della Cittadella. The restaurant is located not far from the Arena; there is a wonderful atmosphere of an old fisherman's house, simple furniture, blue walls and themed decorations. They serve excellent local seafood dishes and delicious Italian pasta. Dinner for two will cost approximately 70-80 euros, not cheap, but tasty and extravagant. 
If you want sweets, pastries and goodies, go to a small cafe Castelvecchio, located at Corso Castelvecchio 13, near Castelvecchio Castle. You will be pleasantly surprised by the goodies and prices, for example, 4 cookies cost 1 euro, and a portion of apple pie is only 2.5 euros, a cappuccino costs 2 euros, there are “special offer” buns - 10 euros, 9 pieces, the locals simply adore them.
In general, while walking around Verona, I came to the conclusion that an expensive and chic restaurant does not mean unsurpassed and prices for dinner do not guarantee gastronomic pleasure, and in small cafes dinner can be tastier than in a chic restaurant. There are a huge number of star restaurants in Vera, with extravagant dishes and luxurious table settings, but in reality this is all just external show, the dishes there are the most ordinary, no different from the same dishes in smaller establishments. Of course, this assumption is true in any city, but if you are in a city popular among tourists, you should remember this, because it can save you several hundred euros. We have come to the conclusion that sometimes the smaller the establishment, the cozier the atmosphere, the nicer the staff and the more “homemade” the food is prepared.

Guilt
Verona is a wine-growing region, very good wine is made here - every year two million centners of products corresponding to the DOC classification are produced - a total of twenty-two types. Ten of them are produced using grapes grown near Verona. In addition, only in this area are produced two types of products marked with a double quality mark - (certificate of control and guarantee) - Bardolino Classico DOCG and Recioto di Soave.
Local residents and visitors prefer the following brands of wine: among whites - Custoza, Soave, Durello, Lugana, red - Amarone, Valpolicella, Bardolino, and from dessert - Recioto di Soave and Recioto di Valpolicella.
Red wine of the Amarone brand has a specific taste, and besides this, it has its own interesting history. According to legend, the winemaker owes its production to chance. The master’s plans included producing another variety – Recioto, but this barrel was forgotten, which is why the wine stagnated. Over time, it lost its sweet taste, which is why it got its name, meaning “very bitter”...
Gastronomic establishments in Verona
In Verona, there are a large number of pizzerias, osterias, trattorias and restaurants, among which you can choose the appropriate establishment - according to your taste and budget. The first rule for those who are planning to taste the dishes of the truly unique Veronese cuisine should be the well-known life principle that everything real is not put on display. Move away from the central part of the city and observe what establishments the locals eat at - that’s where you can try the local cuisine, and without significant overpayments. Now let's talk about three gastronomic establishments - Al Carroarmato, 12 Apostles and ViaRoma33.
Al Carroarmato
The street on which this wonderful osteria is located is called “Cat Lane” in Russian translation. The interior decoration here follows typical Italian design - no frills. There are not many dishes on the menu - only traditional ones. We recommend trying a variety of pastas, as well as assorted cheeses.
12 Apostles
This gastronomic establishment is a tourist restaurant, but locals also like to visit it. The 12 Apostles have an enviable history that is a separate reason for pride. When the wine cellar was being renovated - in 1980 - under the restaurant they discovered the foundation of an ancient church, which was built in the first century BC, and in addition - the walls of the building, which was erected in 1250 AD. (stones from a destroyed local amphitheater were used for its construction). The restaurant's waiter will be happy to show you these ruins - you just have to wish it. As for the cost of dishes, it is high here - for lunch you will have to pay from 35 to 70 euros. But, having been here, you will be imbued with the spirit of the city. It’s a good place to celebrate memorable dates or meet business partners.
ViaRoma33
Finding this establishment is easy - its name and location make it clear. It is located next to Castelvecchio Castle. The interior design follows the traditions of Italian establishments - here you will find dark furniture, white walls and tablecloths. The material for the construction of one of the walls was empty bottles. This cafe organizes entertainment events - art exhibitions, musician performances and thematic show programs. The owners of ViaRoma33 nicknamed the establishment “non solo cafe” - “not just a cafe.” You can view the program of entertainment events on the cafe’s website.
Having lunch here will cost about forty euros. Cafe ViaRoma33 is closed on Sundays.

Italy has always been famous for its delicious and original cuisine. And Verona, as a true Italian city, is no exception. In local establishments you can find a lot of traditional dishes that simply cannot leave you indifferent. So, what should you try first in Verona to get acquainted with its gastronomic traditions?
Firstly, this gnocchi (gnocchi), which are a kind of potato dumplings served with some kind of sauce.

Another unusual but very popular dish in Verona is Bollito con la pearà, spicy meat served with a sauce containing broth, bread and Parmesan. You can often see on the table polenta (polenta), corn porridge with sauce. In general, it should be noted that various sauces are an integral part of Italian cuisine, and each dish has its own unique sauce addition that emphasizes its taste.
Italian ones deserve no less attention. Dessert . The sweets that Verona is proud of are croccante macaroons, Pandoro Christmas cake, and Sbrisolona cake. Each of the Verona desserts is so unique and original that it is remembered for a long time, making you want to eat at least another portion...
When talking about Italy, it is impossible to keep silent about the place guilt in her kitchen. After all, this is a real wine-making paradise. By the way, the region in which Verona is located occupies a leading position in the production of fine wine in the country, and the city itself produces two types of wine of the highest quality on the market. These are Bardolino Classico DOCG and Recioto di Soave. In addition, among local brands one can highlight Amarone, Bardolino (red wines) and Custoza, Durello, Soave (white wines).
As for some specific establishments in Verona where you can have a good time and taste local cuisine, it must be said that in the old town there are many cozy cafes and restaurants, among which you can easily choose something according to your taste and budget.
One of the most popular restaurants, both among city residents and tourists, is Dodici Apostoli(Corticella S. Marco, 3). The place, of course, is not cheap, but very interesting. Firstly, it is famous for its cuisine and good wine cellar. And secondly, by asking the waiter, here you can take a real underground excursion to see the remains of a church from the beginning of the new era and the ruins of a 13th century house, discovered about 40 years ago during the reconstruction of the basement.
Not far from Juliet's house, at Vicolo Dietro S. Andrea 1/b, there is a beautifully decorated restaurant Osteria da Ugo, whose menu features seasonal dishes prepared from the freshest ingredients. Especially famous here are ravioli with meat, as well as meat with duck sauce and porcini mushrooms with Venetian onions.
On Vicolo Gatto 2a there is a typical Italian restaurant Al Carroarmato, offering its visitors amazing pastas and delicious cheeses.
For those who want to have a quick and inexpensive meal, we recommend going to one of the pizzerias. After all, Italy, among other things, is famous for its pizzas . For example, there is a good pizzeria on Piazza Bra Ippopotamo, where for 7 - 10 euros they will bring you a very cute, and most importantly, delicious pizza.
Good and inexpensive pizza can also be found in pizzerias Pizzeria Vesuvio(Corso Sant’Anastasia, 20), where it will be cooked right in front of you in the oven.
If you are walking near the castle of the old Castelvecchio castle, you can take a break in a cafe Castelvecchio, where for a nominal fee (around 1-2 euros) you can drink delicious coffee and snack on a pie (a piece for 2.5 euros), cookies or buns.
In general, we can say that Verona establishments are characterized by special hospitality and comfort; their guests are truly welcome here. So feel free to wander the streets, don’t be afraid to leave the main road in search of a good place and focus on the places where the locals themselves eat.
