Il Caminetto di Bogoni Mauro In Bardolino

10/05/2025: I learned about this restaurant via Michelin guide. It is a middle sized restaurant with modern design atmosphere. The service is efficient and friendly. We took the 59 euro tasting menu and I really liked the choices. For starters we had trout and beef tartar. Trout is very finely cooked and beef tartar is quite innovative. For first course we have chosen spaghetti, the flavor is good, too, with a fine touch of pistachios. For main dish I followed the suggestion of the staff and took the pork shank. The cook timing is finely controlled with a nice sweet and sour flavor. It reminds me of Chinese way cooking pork but still this one is crispy on the skin. For dessert we took one Mille feuille and one panna cotta, both are great. I think panna cotta is a little bit lighter in flavor as Mille feuilles have very heavy filling. I do enjoyed my lunch at this restaurant.

10/05/2025: This is our favorite restaurant in Verona. It’s a casual restaurant but the quality of food speaks volume of the quality and passion of the chefs. This restaurant was started by 4 chefs, one of the partner is chef Giancarlo Perbellini who also runs the only 3* Michelin restaurant in Verona, Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli. I had the opportunity to try the fine dining outlet but I personally prefer the food here at Locanda 4 Cuochi. We really enjoyed the food here. It’s creative and fun. Service was also very attentive with English speaking staff. Overall, I highly recommend making a reservation prior going there as it can get pretty crowded.
