A wonderful traditional, romantic and quiet restaurant a few streets away from the touristy centre of Verona. They specialise in risotto dishes, yet the menu has a lot on offer, from pasta, gnocchi, various meat dishes.

I loved all of it, maybe would have picked a different starter or a second one to share, eg the ‘Pinzimonio di verdure fresche’ (fresh seasonal vegetables served with extra virgin olive oil). They have some quite adventurous regional meat items on the menu. Notably gnocchi with donkey, horse meat with polenta, spaghetti with wild boar. . . We were very intrigued, however decided to go with our safer choices as we had no idea...

I had a simple meal here, a plate of risotto made from some of the best cheeses and mushrooms I have had in Italy together with a glass of Amarone, the signature wine of the Verona area. These are the experiences that make...
