Osteria Giulietta e Romeo — Restaurant in Verona

The table (red) wine was delicious, the donkey bigoli was also very tasty and I scoffed the lot. The horse tartare was rather more minced than I had expected (perhaps I was expecting something similar to beef tartare- more of a fine dice rather than a straight-up mince) and the mustard, capers, salt, pepper, and olive oil were placed in front of me and I could season it to taste. Probably. But it was my first horse tartare and I really didn't know how to season it myself. It was good quality meat and there was plenty of it, but finishing it was a slog. Perhaps I should have gone for the horse steak.

On hindsight, perhaps the horse dish was more a pesto or paste than a tartare, which was what it was called in the menu. Had I known it was a paste of horse meat, I don't think I would have ordered it. But for what it was, a pesto, it...

Well having lived in Italy 7 years, I can tell you honestly places to go and not to go…This one is definitely not to go one although it seems like high rated among others in Verona. Since Verona is very touristy place, do not trust stars or ratings too much cause most of them were given by tourists whom doesn’t have any idea of an authentic Italian food.

Do not go...

Ordered the penne with meat sauce that was described as a bolognese and there was literally no sauce and no flavor. It was just dry ground meat (horse?), grease, and penne noodles. It was honestly the worst meal I have had in Italy (almost 20 days traveling here) and possibly one of the worst pasta dishes I have ever had, and that includes the vegetarian air plane pasta that gave me food poisoning.

If you want good pasta look basically anywhere else. This place is beyond bad and is reasonably...
