“ Was a suprise find after wandering through streets of Verona.. it was for sure our best dinner experience. Great service, amazing food….to start with I got the cuttlefish and creamed cod. It was something I generally wouldn’t have tried but have to say it was soo good! And for main I got the veal ravioli 5/5. Finished off with Sicilian cassata which was a delicious treat. But the best part of it all was to enjoy this fantastic mean in a quiet Verona courtyard with setting sky and the historic buildings around. Was a privilege!! ”
“ The best place to eat sea food in Verona in my honest opinion. Fully recommended the dishes talk by itself ”
“ 50m from a lively shopping and pedestrian street. Quiet and romantic outside or also inside this elegant restaurant. Tasty Veronese dishes with fair prices. Advantage over the traditional Osteria dei Pompieri is the quiet outside tables and the more spacious modern design in an antique building ”
“ Nice and quiet restaurant that serves mainly seafood dishes. We found it while trying to escape the rain. Starters were amazing - highly recommend the tomato tarte tatin dish. I thought the main dishes could be improved with better flavours and with the same innovation as the starters. Desserts were interesting and delicious. Different take on tiramisu with ice cream in the centre. Worth a try if you’re in the area! ”
“ We met the owner while getting lost in the city, the restaurant is thankfully in a small remote plaza, just off the main thoroughfare. And blissfully calm. We promised to return, the owner was so nice and talkative, sharing insights about the local restaurant scene. That’s how we learned that this location is the fish offshoot of its more renowned older brother, focusing on meat. But like fish, so we came back here. We ordered 3 equally good dishes, expertly cooked and plated. First came the vongole, very good rendition, lacked garlic and white wine in my opinion, but right on for the salty, briny taste. Then, the linguine with Sicilian sweet red prawns, we have been dreaming since Sicily 3 years ago, that dish was flawless and should be ordered as the thin fish sauce expertly envelops the linguine. A masterclass of execution here. Finally, the vitello tonnato was made to perfection, tender, a slow steam cooked veal opposed to the tuna mayonnaise. We wish we could order that every week and if it is still on the menu (I do not see it?), it should be ordered. Not a lot of restaurants have this emblematic dish of fine Italian dining. We felt we should indulge in the local Prosecco offering and we were expertly guided through the choices, so not a stretch to say that service was flawless from start to finish. Sign of a great restaurant, the owner stopped by our table at the end and shared a local secret. Again, when you deal with the pros, you get pro hospitality. Overall, for the atmosphere, dining and service, we felt this was an outstanding experience and we wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Great value for the quality delivered and really nice people in the heart of Verona. P.S.: if this review and pictures were helpful in selecting a place, please leave a , thank you ”
