Il Grappolo In Verolavecchia

24/01/2025: All in all a positive evening, we ordered a mixed appetizer of cured meats with very good polenta and raw horse meat, the flaws begin with the second courses: we ordered polenta (as good as the appetizer) and not the best sausage, some cheese plate which was also not very good, furthermore we ordered a cut of beef with rosemary: a cut arrived which, in addition to being devoid of rosemary and salt, did not have the features or the flavor of a cut of beef, we asked the girl if it was a horse cut (a dish on the menu) citing a possible mistake of distraction, the dry and grumpy response of the waitress, we tried tasting it again but the flavor still didn't recall the cut of beef, to a second request for explanations we received the same response. If it had truly been a cut of horse we would have had no problem "forgiving" a careless error due to a complicated job that both my girlfriend and I do. If it was beef then there are added questions about the quality of the meat. The doubt remains about the lack of explanation of the situation. I conclude by saying that the cut was taken off our bill, a gesture that we appreciated, not only for an economic factor but also for a question of kindness and seriousness, despite the owner's continued remark that we were wrong, added by someone who did not veiled dose of grumpiness. I repeat, a pleasant evening, the other waiter was very kind and competent, a beautiful and sweet, tasty place, but the disappointment for this mix-up remains

16/01/2025: Pleasantly informal and rustic environment. Staff friendly but not expansive. Homegrown food. Adequate portions. Good grilled meat. The stew is too spicy. Adequate and honest prices on first and second courses, less honest on grilled cheese.
