28/08/2024: This is a restaurant located in the historic center of Verona, where most of its clientele are Veronese, who come here for lunch in the middle of their working day.
Its offer is therefore far from the many restaurants for tourists that swarm the area, and to my way of thinking, it makes it extremely attractive for a visitor like me, who in addition to knowing the classic tourist spots, he also likes to try to enjoy a little of the day-to-day life of the city.
A €15 menu of local cuisine made with love, including two courses, bread and water, and a menu with reasonable prices, is one of Vecchia Fontanina's strong points.
The waiters, Veronese from soca-rel (I asked them), professional, but at the same time super attentive and extremely close if you put your foot in them, is the other strong point. It is spectacular to see them moving at full speed, paying attention to everything, with a particular grace, which will be etched in my memory as one of the most beautiful memories I take with me from Verona.
We went there for lunch with my wife and son, by chance, and we all left so delighted, that we did it again the next day. Too bad we live so far from Verona, as we will hardly be able to go back.
By the way, if you feel like trying a dessert, I recommend the Catalan cream with black pepper and mint. A delicious reinterpretation of the traditional recipe that will blow your mind...
