Amazing combination of quality and efficiency, like a ballet of beautiful dishes under your eyes. Many people including locals come to enjoy the €12 fixed menu with only a limited choice of secundi piatti, which is lovely and generous anyhow. It may be a wise choice since the menu template is just list of hard to resist temptations. Warning for those who may be put off: horsemeat is also served. The piazzetta Chiavica is delightfully cool and quiet, a haven just a few streets away from the crowded center. Interestingly, the restaurant has its own distillery, offering several grappas and other fragrant Italian brandies, but it was noon and hot so we passed on that--a slight frustration and a good reason to come back!

The food is superb! Best meal in Italy so far! My favorite course was the savory pear pie - I never had anything like that before! My husband’s fettuccini with rabbit ragu was equally amazing, with a unique roasted flavor. The waiter eventually warmed to us (after our entrance at 15 min. before closing), and he offered a bowl of plain macaroni for our daughter, which was a hit. Bread is nothing special, so that was easy to pass up, but we didn’t care. House wine pour of both red and rose was generous and delicious. Great homey atmosphere. Casual elegance. Good value.

A lunchtime stopover in Verona couldn’t have been done better - this venue screams authenticity, and the food absolutely delivered. I tried two classic Veronese dishes, ‘(Beef) cheek braised with Amarone and polenta’ and ‘Horse meat stew with polenta’, and they were both spectacular. I also treated myself to a delicious Apple pie with vanilla sauce. More importantly, the service was simply fantastic - everyone was kind and welcoming, even with my extremely limited Italian, with special thanks to Eduardo and Sabrina. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

We ate here during the weekday for lunch so we took advantage of their lunch menu. 15 euro for one dish of pasta, one polenta, water and cover is an amazing value. All dishes were tasty and portions were good too. Coffee was 1.5 euro each. Service was fast and polite. You can see lots of local workers coming here to eat which is a testament to how good value this place is. I booked before coming which i would recommend because it seems to be quite busy although at around 1PM there were quite a few empty tables.

We visited this place for dinner. We have reserved a table for 19:00 but when we arrive they said we should wait 10-15 minutes as they finish they dinner. The staff was not very friendly afterwards too. The food was not bad. They don't serve Amarone for one person. Only 2 or more. They have some good local beers. The deserts where not as the other photos here. The BIGGEST negative was the men toilet. I don't understand how this kind of toilet can be a thing in 2024. I was disappointed and disgusted.

I’m struggling to find words to describe the food here but… I came here TWICE in one day. Firstly I had the bigoli al ragu di cavallo as it’s a typical dish and it was phenomenal. I had the gnocchi for dinner as it was recommended by one of the waiters, and WOW. I’ve never tasted or experienced anything like it. The staff here are so lovely too. If you want to experience traditional and delicious Italian cuisine you have to come here! If I come back to Verona, this Osteria will be my first stop!!!
