26/06/2024: Verona, city of art, culture, tourism and cuisine. City with many now touristy restaurants, lacking refinement and quality. However, fortunately, high-level realities still exist and, as always, I always try to find new ones. So, just before going to see my first opera, I entered the pedestrian streets of the center and, a few steps from the Arena, I found "La canonica".
The place is small, with a preference for tables for 2/4 people. The kitchen is open, with the possibility of admiring it while walking in the nearby street, and the table is elegant, modern and refined. For my personal taste, I really appreciated the presence of the tablecloth which, nowadays, is often not used.
I particularly liked the wine list as it also consists of niche wineries with a particular section dedicated only to macerated wines, a type that I adore. Last but not least are the end-of-meal offers.
The service was friendly, elegant, pleasant and competent. The customer is pampered, advised (if he wishes), accompanied on this journey without being intrusive or fast.
The menu offers few dishes (in a positive sense) distributed between vegetables, fish and meat. All designed to not waste anything and give olfactory, visual and palate value and emphasis.
A particularity that I found in the dishes I tasted was dictated by the consistencies. I have always found balance in every sense and this, in my opinion, is an added value.
Elegance and refinement accompanied this dinner which, also from an economic point of view, I found to be reasonable and honest.
In short, "La canonica" was a sweet and exquisite experience that I am sure I will do again.
19/06/2024: 10/10 recommend this place. Firstly, it’s in the cUTest little part of town. The walk getting there was a treat. Chef Luca was INCREDIBLE — he is so talented and Super friendly and you get to interact with him during and after the meal. The menu scared us a bit at first haha but OH my gosh it blew our mind and we got to try so many cool dishes. The BREAD! Oh my god I’ve never had better bread in my life. Please please go here if you have a chance to experience this treasure…. Deserves a Michelin star!
