Guapo In Verona

04/03/2025: Such a great little family run restaurant. Absolutely great👍🏻 Very nice hosts who are easy to talk to. Clear recommendation :-)

26/01/2025: My husband and I ate dinner here on the last night of our honeymoon in September 2024 and it was the best meal we had our entire trip. 'Osteria Al Capitel' is not in the busy town centre of Bardolino and we chanced upon it when walking back to our hotel. The romantic candle lit atmosphere drew us in but what really caught our attention was a sign reading 'No bruschetta or pizza'. We had already had our fill of pizza/bruschetta and considering so many of the restaurants in touristic Bardolino do the same food, it was refreshing to discover a restaurant that did fewer dishes, but did them exceptionally well. Often putting their own twist on the familiar. So we enjoyed pike polenta to start and then I had the most delicious smoked trout carbonara pasta for main, while my husband had steak. For dessert I went for tiramisu which did not disappoint and we enjoyed complimentary orangecello to finish. The vibe was intimate and romantic. A really special restaurant to find and ideal for those who want more authentic Italian cuisine that what you will find off the Bardolino promenade. It was the perfect way to end our honeymoon.
