Arca di Noè — Restaurant in Verona

The food moved me to tears.

It's not that this is our first time in Italy.. but the food here in Arca di Noe' have a unique home-sweet-home feeling to it. We ordered: Orecchiette con cime di rapa (orecchiette with red chilli pepper, anchovies and green vegetables called rapa) Orecchiette con pomodorini et basilico (orecchiette with fresh basil and cherry tomatoes) Pollo pugliese (slow-cooked pugliese chicken)

The ingredients were fresh and good. A good Italian pasta does not have to be complex in terms of preparation. That cherry tomato pasta was simple with four ingredients only, but it was so well-prepared that we felt like we were in heaven!

Learned about that cime di rapa dish from an online recipe. And tasting the "real deal" in Italy just made me realize that the beauty of this dish lies upon the harmony of the ingredients. We had such a great time!

Also tried the cold red wine(Rosso Freddo, 18 euros / bottle). Very interesting and pairs well with the food.

We will go back again and try...

My first stop when I come to Verona. I crave their Chicken alla Pugliese when I am away- it’s made by the owners wife and is outstanding.... truly my favorite chicken in the world. And €10. I take myself there for lunch and I’m smiling the rest of the day. Atmosphere? Like your nonna and nonno’s house, and that’s why it feels like home. Personal relics on the walls, photos, a menu comprised of true home cooking. What are you craving? I’ve never gotten the pizza but go here for: *polpo & potatoes *chicken alla pugliese *pasta with butter & cheese

Just brought my bf and we ate our entrees, bread, table wine, and mineral water for €25 total. In the US, that would only cover my 2 glasses of wine... it’s insane how good the prices are for a...

We stayed in Veronetta and decided to eat here. What a gem of a place. Gianni and his wife run a traditional eatery with some great Apulian dishes. Such a change to the usual Touristy dishes available in most of the restaurants in Verona! With starters such as broad bean puree with chicory and deep fried courgette flowers, what's not to like. Main courses of stinko and homemade pizza along with some local wine we had a great evening. If in Veronetta, a visit is well...
