23/03/2025: This was the best restaurant we ate during our trip to Italy! I'm not talking about the most sophisticated or expensive or different place. It's a local Trattoria, with an awesome service and a very delicious food.
We arrived late at night and even thinking they might not cooking anymore, they received us very well and we were treated like special guests. We ordered bruschettas and some pasta and they recommended a great wine, explaining the differences and talking about our dishes (my wife ordered a gnocchi al gorgonzola and I asked for the Bigoli con il musso, a very local dish). Everything was so perfect we decided not take a risk eating on other place and we returned for lunch on the other day!
For lunch we started with a Polenta della casa and for main course we chose the Risotto all'Amarone, other local dish. Was amazing. For meat we tried the filetto all'Amarone and the cotoletta classica, both just perfect. Again, Mauro recommended a great wine to harmonize with the food (already done with Amarone wine).
We regret not having enough time to try all the other dishes, but its a place we'll always remember the people and the great food they serve. Verona is a wonderful city and if possible I'll be back and will return to this Trattoria. Cheers!
18/03/2025: Trattoria l'Altra Colonna is located in the Piazza Cittadella area and is the second location of the well-known Trattoria la Colonna in the center of Verona.
The house specialty is the cutlet which is offered in different sizes (small, medium, large or giant) and with condiments that satisfy all palates.
You can decide to order the classic one and enjoy it pure; or opt to garnish it with potatoes and bacon, or cooked ham and fontina, or radicchio and gorgonzola or cherry tomatoes and basil, or other options offered on the menu.
The cutlet then by definition calls fried or baked potatoes as a side dish.
The restaurant always serves an excellent homemade mayonnaise as an accompanying sauce.
In addition to cutlets, the menu also offers typical dishes of Veronese cuisine, such as Amarone risotto.
In my opinion, the quality-price ratio is excellent, I have always eaten well here and paid a fair price.
