Alcova del Frate In Verona

A great restaurant Fantastic food Excellent service

Overall, a satisfactory experience. A pleasant place, clearly geared toward tourists. The wine bar is good, with dishes whose names hark back to tradition. The real issue, however, is the service. During the wine service, the bottle is not shown nor the vintage verified, despite the fact that the glasses cost €12–15. When I politely asked to see the bottle, I noticed that the vintage didn't match the one listed on the menu. Only then did the explanation arrive: "The menu was wrong." It can happen, of course. But these are details that, regarding wine and price, make the difference between proper service and sloppy service. A shame, because with a little more attention, the experience would have been decidedly better.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a well-stocked wine cellar offering a wide selection. Excellent service, the owner is attentive to all requests. House specialties include bigodi with donkey and horse meat, homemade gnocchi, and fried artichokes. The menu is much more extensive and caters to a variety of tastes. We also appreciated the speed of service, even though we were a large group for work. I recommend it.

Great experience, amazing food, very good recommendation from the owner. We have been so lucky to find this place...

Excellent food and a welcoming atmosphere in Verona. We went here for Valentine's Day and had a wonderful evening. Highly recommended!

Right in the heart of Verona. The food was tasty, but the portions were quite small for the price. The ambiance was very nice, with a large selection of wines. We were there for lunch with a baby and three adults. A high chair was available. The tiramisu was delicious and worth the €10. I would have liked to give it four stars, but because of the small portions and the espresso from the small automatic machine (€3 – which I didn't find very typical of Italy), it gets three stars. Also,

It's expensive, but if you want to enjoy a good meal, simple but carefully prepared dishes, and good drinks, this is undoubtedly the best place.

It deserves 5 stars! When the owner serves you, the care and attention are always top-notch. The dishes are meticulously prepared, the traditional Veronese dishes are excellent, of course, but the fish is also excellent. The wine list is impressive, and there's a wide selection. We opted for a Lugana, a wine that never disappoints. It's best to reserve; we booked online. You won't be disappointed. Extremely professional!

If you're looking for an intimate and evocative atmosphere, Alcova del Frate is a must-visit. Dining surrounded by walls of wine bottles creates a unique magic, making the venue perfect for a special evening. The service was impeccable: the staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, making you feel immediately at ease. Special praise goes to Max, a true host who knows how to welcome and advise his guests with passion. Regarding the cuisine, the sourcing of raw materials is excellent. Each product is of the highest quality, and the dishes reflect uncommon care. The wine selection is simply endless and meticulously crafted, capable of satisfying even the most discerning palates. The value for money is absolutely fair for the level of experience we had. I'll definitely be back!

I had written a great review, we were very happy overall with the menu, the magical atmosphere, and the friendliness, until we checked the receipt once we got home and found that the chocolate scams "offered" to our children (I say offered because we absolutely didn't order them nor knew they existed) were charged to our bill!!! We left a tip for the waiter for his kindness, but instead the kindness was ours in paying for something we never ordered!! 🤣🤣 how great!! We're forced to change our opinion of the place... we first wanted to go back, now we're sick of it!
