A perfect evening with friends !

This is an excellent restaurant, maintaining a traditional fine dining ambience. I have been here 3 or 4 times and had delicious food every time. First time visitors should be prepared to spend some money; the restaurant requests that each diner order two "piatti salati," literally 'salty plates' in English but what it means is two of anything from the non-dessert part of the menu. it could be 2 antipasti, an antipasto and a primo, a primo and a second course, whatever. On this last visit, they also had a "pranzo menu," (lunch menu) with an antipasto, a primo (pasta dish) and a dessert for 50 euros, a definite bargain compared to the a la carte menu. We chose today's menu, starting with fried prawns wrapped in super-thin pasta with wasabi mayonnaise for dipping (I should have asked for extra wasabi), on a bed of house-made potato chips. The dish was very rich, and served piping hot. I was actually kind of full after finishing it. The primo was a cool-looking pasta called "creste di gallo" (coxcombs) in a sauce based on "battuto di molluschi" (chopped mollusks). Scrumptious, and even though I was full, I ate the whole abundant portion. Dessert was tiramisu', served in a tall custard dish. The custard was fluffy but intense, nicely complemented by the layer of cocoa dust coating the top. The coffee-soaked sponge crust at the bottom was the bonus for whoever could make it down there through the custard. Wine list is extensive. I don't think I've ever made it past the first section of whites, which are from the Venetos. Tons of big-name boutique Soave producers. Given restaurant markups New Yorkers will be accustomed to, these bottles are in line. If you want a bottle, you can get something for as little as 30 euros, and if your money is burning a hole in your pocket, there is a bunch of attractive stuff between 50 and 100. Service is genteel and prompt. I only get to Verona once a year any more (in a good year!), but look forward to coming back next time I do.

Very good restaurant

Good seafood, but ...dietary portions...the "crudino" (small raw fish plate) was indeed such: fresh seafood but really scant in quantity! Good atmosphere, careful service...but deadly slow... In summary, a good fish elegant fish restaurant but not worth the money

Fantastic, but not for the feint of heart. If you love seafood, you must dine here! My wife doesn’t like eyeballs in her food, but crustaceans need to see, right? Our dinners were amazing and the service was perfect.
