Awards Candidates 2019

31/05/2025: I gave 5 stars because 10 cannot be given. I believe that my vote is worth at least double if not triple compared to the passing tourist as I have been having lunch every day for about a year in this place that I can define as a pearl of our area. There has not been ONE day in which I have not received top treatment, ONE day in which the dishes have been less cared for than other days, never. I go, I am welcomed, I sit down and I am sure of eating healthy, fresh, with a cuisine that respects the seasonality of the products and the territory, with a service that is always cordial and friendly while always remaining more than professional. Nothing to be surprised about, however, when you do your job with passion and dedication the results can only be excellent. Chef Stefano deserves a special mention, every day he 'pulls out of his hat' dishes that are sometimes simpler and more concrete, sometimes more elaborate and risky, always managing to amaze you with how much can be told and made to travel through a dish... a dish that is as original as it is faithful to local tradition. And what can I say about the staff: Paola, Ilaria, Andrea... who always stop to chat with us, even if the place is full. Then the guys in the dining room... Giulia, Sara, Alessio, without whom my lunch break would not be the same. Professional and polite, as well as extremely nice. They have the ability to make you feel at home, remembering your preferences, always... in this way you always feel pampered and spoiled. And I assure you that this is absolutely not a given in other places. Service times: impeccable and constant. It has never happened to have different waiting times for the same dish that perhaps you have ordered on other occasions, regardless of whether the restaurant is more or less crowded. This means only one thing: an organized kitchen and effective communication between the kitchen itself and the dining room, with a team that collaborates. Quality of the dishes: I have already said that they are a strong point, but I also wanted to say a word about the consistency of the quality. How many times do you go to places where you eat well at alternate times... well, this does not happen at Perbellini. For example, I often order the sliced ​​beef and I can assure you that every time it is soft, juicy, with that part of fat that I like so much and that makes it exquisite. Always cooked to perfection, tasty and in a generous portion. Really good. I am not a cooking expert as I work in another sector, but I certainly know how to recognize when behind something apparently 'simple' there is actually great teamwork. Well, the Perbellini bistro is exactly this: a great winning team.

19/05/2025: We were there for a communion on Sunday for lunch, a special day! Very attentive service, professional waiters and attentive to satisfy the customer's needs, very well-kept and comfortable environment, you really feel at ease! Refined and sophisticated food, quality wine list! We found unique hospitality! Thank you so much for putting all this love into your work!

30/06/2025: A place where every return is a pleasure

26/06/2025: An exceptional "osteria" that truly deserves a Michelin star. A very well-balanced tasting menu, with great finesse and haute cuisine centered around seafood - unusual and very tasty recipes. Warm and competent service. High-quality wine list as well. A superb discovery! Want to come back again and again!!

21/06/2025: If you are a person of color, DO NOT come here!! My friend and I came here for dinner and experienced outright discrimination. We asked for a table for 2, and were told there was a 15 minute wait. While we were waiting for the table to get ready, we were told that we would receive a complimentary drink just like the other guests who were also waiting. We never received the drinks, although others who came AFTER us were given drinks. After 20 minutes of waiting, we noticed that other guests that came in much later after us(who were white) were provided a table. This experience was very hurtful and down right unpleasant. I have travelled to this region in the past and have never experienced such disgusting behavior. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT spend your money in this place. The staff is RACIST!! Shame on the owner for allowing their employees to treat people like this in 2025!! Totally unacceptable and unfair treatment!!

14/06/2025: Siciliano Prawns is sensational. Highly recommended and paella seafood was great too I wish I was able to enjoy it more without my health issues

11/06/2025: Delicious dinner!!! Small but cozy place located in the historic center of Verona. Kind and attentive staff, without being intrusive. Excellent and fresh food quality, I highly recommend especially in the evening for a romantic dinner

10/06/2025: Been traveling in Italy for almost a month now and this was without doubt the worst meal ever. The bread was not even fully fermented so you would be having raw dough. Baby octopus was so salty that we had to stop eating half way through. Over priced as well. Avoid at all cost.

14/06/2025: The added value, in addition to the quality of the food, was the service

13/06/2025: Super friendly and attentive service and truly excellent food! Highly recommended

26/06/2025: Sumptuous dinner, refined dishes, a wonderful combination of tradition and modernity. Impeccable service with punctual and discreet presence. Matteo and his staff surround you with care and pamper you affectionately.

17/06/2025: When planning our trips to Italy I look for dining experiences. We booked a reservation for this dining room months in advance (party of 3). We arrived at the designated time for our reservation and were warmly greeted and seated. Reservations with this establishment are recommended. Three set menus for the table are offered and if none of them are deemed suitable, you can choose 3, 4 or 5 course tasting options from the ala carte menu. For this evening we built a custom 5 course tasting menu option from the ala carte menu. Each course was plated fabulously and described passionately by our servers. All servers made a point of highlighting the preparation and inspiration when presenting the courses. Every course presented was exquisite and they were consumed as passionately as they were presented. All were excellent. Our menu selections had not included "the Egg". When the course arrived at our table it came compliments of the Chef. They wanted us to experience one of the house specialties. Happy they did as it turned out to be one of my favourites of the evening. Everyone was absolutely fabulous at this dining room. The staff was busy but was always attentive and extremely accommodating. This was an excellent evening. Thank you to all. We recommend this dining room

09/06/2025: Very welcoming, friendly staff. The risotto all'Amarone was excellent

04/06/2025: Excellent experience. High-level cuisine. After 3 years from the first visit I fully confirm the first opinion. I would even say that I found myself even better, as difficult as it may seem, given the perfection of the first time .... I am very sorry that there are people who complain about the price, when the prices themselves are displayed. Dear friends, quality costs, if you are not happy with it go to Lidl and get frozen food .... There you will surely save money ... At Le Petarine you eat quality food cooked by hand with love and dedication

23/05/2025: The place is nice, the service is good. Fair prices

22/05/2025: Where to start? BREAKFAST: my every request and whim was fulfilled, the raw materials were fresh and sought after and carefully selected and explained (every morning different and fresh cold cuts and cheeses) LUNCH: Lunch with a fixed menu with prices from €10 to €15, good first courses, mouth-watering second courses APERITIF: the wine selection is very carefully selected, from sparkling wines to reds, with always different and never predictable appetizers. DINNER: The dinner menu becomes more complete and always carefully prepared, I tried the Uruguayan tagliata and it melted in the mouth, the carne salada was very fresh and abundant ROOMS: Moving on to the overnight stay, the rooms are recent, modern, functional, clean, well-kept and comfortable The management is really attentive and kind, they satisfied all my whims and needs punctually and discreetly, the kindness and professionalism at high levels. If you have an eye for dogs, there is a sweet Golden Retriever that rarely pops up.

19/05/2025: Sehrvgutes und geschmackvollen Essen Bruschetta hervorragend Viele eufen Erzeugnisse Auch Wein und Öle Sehr persönliche Bedienung

15/05/2025: A small but nice campsite with mobile homes. Everything is brand new. Campers even have their own private shower and toilet during their stay. The pool is saltwater. Highly recommended.

11/05/2025: A restaurant in a sensational location. Excellent food. Super friendly service. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

05/05/2025: Yesterday we went for lunch to celebrate our little girl's First Communion. Everything was perfect, the dishes delicious and served hot on a simple and graceful plate, the service professional and friendly. The owner was kind and attentive to all our needs.

29/06/2025: A romantic gem by Lake Garda What a wonderful and romantic hotel! Albergo Gardenia offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are spotless every day, with fresh towels provided daily. The breakfast is truly outstanding – luxurious, varied, and prepared with great care. Everything about this place is just right. Highly recommended!

29/05/2025: Wonderful location right on the lake. Even without staying at the hotel, a visit to the café/restaurant is highly recommended.

27/05/2025: Top of the Top....!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 Linda and Matteo you are always a guarantee...! Highly recommended Nutella Mascarpone puffed rice and a TIP of Banana strictly cut by Matteo

18/05/2025: I've been here several times over the years, and recently it was a rediscovery with my girlfriend. Recommended are the house specialty savory crepes (but don't split them in half!) As a young poet I also wrote a poem that I want to share: The savory ones are special, and only there will you find them. But you don't mind the sweet ones either if you want to finish your meal, or if you want to get over your hangover!

24/05/2025: I had heard good things about it and in fact everything was positive to recommend and so we will return soon. Congratulations

25/04/2025: I would say everything was excellent!

28/06/2025: Very intimate and welcoming place, fantastic and prepared staff, spectacular pizza, if you want something more complex it is the perfect place. Their homemade desserts are out of this world absolutely to try

22/06/2025: The pizza was really excellent, as was the service, the only shame was the uncomfortable seats and stools.

31/05/2025: rustic place, excellent food, snacks galore, great for a short stop and aperitifs with friends..

28/05/2025: Very well-kept place (perhaps a little small), but the owner is very friendly and the dishes offered were all refined, both in flavors and combinations. I will not forget the pulled pork!
