30/11/2025: On our way back from the Ten Capitals walk, which I recommend, two of us, with a reservation, had lunch at this restaurant. Our first impression was immediately positive. It's an old cellar with a vaulted ceiling; the tables are well-spaced and well-set with classic red checked cotton tablecloths—kudos to them for avoiding napkins and non-woven fabrics. The bathrooms are clean; the only drawbacks are a certain darkness and poor acoustics; the echo is noticeable and, if there are a lot of customers, it can even be annoying and hinder conversation. The young waiters were very kind and attentive, especially a particularly friendly and cheerful brunette: well done, keep it up! We opted for the house antipasto of cured meats and the one with baby cuttlefish and polenta. Both were good and plentiful, and served quickly. At most, I would have added a little salt to the cuttlefish. Next, we had risotto with Amarone, which, as correctly stated on the menu, requires at least 20-25 minutes to cook. The risotto was certainly good, but not the best I've had, and considering it costs €15, I think it could have been more generous. The two desserts were good, but not unforgettable: the panna cotta and the apple crumble cake, the latter not particularly generous. The restaurant has a good wine list, mostly local, and you can also, in addition to the house wine, opt, as we did, for glasses, with three or four options each for red, white, and dessert wines. The white wine, a Soave Pra, was very good; the Valpolicella was average, and finally, the glass of Recioto from the Monteforte cooperative was truly excellent. The prices per glass were more than reasonable, and the two coffees were good. We spent a total of €80, a fair price considering the Amarone risotto is significantly more expensive than the other first courses. I was satisfied with the restaurant; the food is good, there's a good selection, and it has character. I highly recommend it and will definitely return. Reservations are recommended, as it gets quite crowded, especially on Sunday lunchtime.
