We ask what the soup of the day is: we're told it's with vegetables and beans.
It actually comes with potato and bean soup.
The nettle bigoli were tough.
The truffled horsemeat tagliata was a very small portion despite the price (20 euros).
The zaletti were old, and the wine they were paired with wasn't clear.

Certainly an osteria frequented mainly by tourists but of good quality and prices.

We had dinner at Hostaria Vecchia Fontanina in Verona and overall it was a good, but not particularly memorable experience. It was nice to try their house specialty risotto all’Amarone, made with the local red wine Amarone della Valpolicella – it was flavourful and well cooked, but a whole plate of just rice becomes a bit tiring halfway through.
The menu includes several meat dishes based on horse meat, and if you’re a bit picky or sensitive about that, it doesn’t leave you with many appealing alternatives to choose from.
In summary, a decent place to try once, especially if you’re curious about their traditional Amarone risotto, but for us it wasn’t a spot we’d go out of our way to return to.

A top place to eat local dishes in Verona. Unbeatable value for money, fast and friendly service. We'll be back.

I can't wait to go back! We went for dinner (without a reservation) and were seated right away. The value was excellent: two starters and wine for €43. I had the horse meat ragù and it was truly excellent. The staff was very kind and welcoming. At the end of the meal, they even offered us some homemade licorice—excellent!

Marco gentilissimo ci ha prenotato un tavolo fuori all’aperto. Atmosfera incantevole e romantica. Prima le cicale poi le rondini. Servizio eccellente. Cucina tipica ed autentica. Ottimi i calamaretti con polenta e la bistecca di cavallo. Per non parlare del sorbetto al limone con liquore di liquirizia. Eccezionale! Grazie e a presto

Seconda volta qui, una garanzia…
Ieri sera siamo stati in questo locale stupendo nel centro di Verona, i bigoli che fanno sono imbattibili: sia con carne di cavallo che con pesce.
Personale attento e gentile.
Che bontà! 🍝🫶🏼
