Latteria Verona ristorante — Restaurant in Verona

I travel a lot and I’ve had amazing Italian food all over the country – from Naples to Florence to little hidden gems in Sicily. So believe me when I say: this place is a complete disaster.

I stopped here because of the good reviews (big mistake!) but I should’ve known better. The food was absolutely terrible. It’s the kind of place that survives off tourists who don’t know what real Italian food is supposed to taste like.

The staff were very attentive but not pushy. He even recommended the perfect dessert to finish the meal. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy dining there and would go back in an instant.
