La Cicala In Rivoli veronese

Stunning location, elegant atmosphere, warm welcome. The menu follows seasonality and emphasizes local and zero-mile products. The tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms has remained in my heart.

We went there for lunch. The price was reasonable, we'd gladly come again.

A superb location in the Veronese hills between Lazise and Bardolino, overlooking the village of Rivoli. Surrounded by greenery, among vineyards, and on the road that climbs and descends, the landscape embraces you as you arrive at Cicals and La Fenice. Given the season, the entrance is decorated for the upcoming Christmas holidays. The dining room is welcoming, and the staff is very friendly. The menu ranges from tasting menus to appetizers with local cured meats and phenomenal cheeses. The first courses include risotto l'amaro, tortelli, and more, all flavored with the local wines and aromas. The second courses are superb: the beef cheek with Valpolicella was truly tender and exquisite. The deserts are excellent. The wines, of course, are superb. I lost myself in the hills and then found myself at Rivali at Cicala and La Fenice, breathing in and eating delicious aromas that are well worth trying.

Disappointing... after reading the excellent reviews we went to this place. I would give the food just a passing grade. Normal cured meats and cheeses. Rice described as gourmet. Black cherries and truffles didn't taste like either... perfect service. The place is nothing special. The price is decidedly high in relation to the quality.

Very elegant location, reasonable prices, the quality of the food and the kindness of the staff make the difference...... recommended

A very elegant restaurant with carefully prepared and tasty dishes. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, even for celiacs. Definitely recommended.

Lunch for two. Good, but expensive. €84 for three appetizers and a first course, one bottle of still water, half a liter of wine on tap, and a coffee seems excessive.

A wonderful discovery! La Cicala e la Fenice is a restaurant that captivates you from the first moment. The young woman who welcomed us was truly friendly and kind, attentive to every detail and capable of making us feel immediately at ease. The location is intimate and romantic, perfect for a quiet and refined dinner, with a warm atmosphere that makes the experience even more enjoyable. The food is excellent: carefully prepared dishes, beautifully presented, and rich in flavor. All accompanied by an excellent wine... an Amarone, of course, which made the evening truly special. Highly recommended for those seeking quality, warmth, and a wonderful gastronomic experience.

Excellent dinner, excellent value, choosing one of the four menus offered. Generous dishes, made with quality ingredients; good selection of wines with balanced markups. Attentive and friendly service.

We had lunch yesterday via The Fork. Everything was perfect, from the service to the unique dishes. I recommend trying the elegant atmosphere. We'll be back.
