Where to Eat

Dining in Verona is a unique experience that blends tradition and flavor. The city is renowned for its typical dishes, such as risotto all’Amarone, made with the famous local wine, and bigoli con le sarde, a rustic pasta served with flavorful sardines.

Among the meat dishes, the highlight is bollito con la pearà, a creamy and spicy sauce made with bread, pepper, and broth. You’ll also find tortellini di Valeggio sul Mincio, celebrated for their delicate texture. For dessert, don’t miss the sbrisolona, a crumbly and delicious cake.

The restaurants in the historic center and the taverns along the Adige provide warm, welcoming settings, perfect for enjoying these specialties paired with a glass of Valpolicella or Soave wine.
