Trattoria Ristorante Al Fogolar In Villafranca di verona

08/11/2025: Characterful and informal atmosphere. Very good first courses, but it's a shame we didn't try the meat. Well-stocked wine cellar and attentive, friendly staff.

07/11/2025: I returned to this place after many, many years. I remembered it as an intimate setting. The location has two small rooms, a veranda, and, for the warmer months, an outdoor garden. A table with four or five people laughing and talking in slightly raised tones is enough to make it feel a bit noisy. The location itself is elegant, tidy, and clean. The staff is courteous, attentive, and helpful. The wine list is well-stocked and excellently priced. There's no menu to consult, for those who can't see the prices. We opted for a Florentine steak, which comes with cooked vegetables and potatoes. Despite the fact that meat is the restaurant's "calling card," the Florentine steak was served to us very anonymously: we didn't know the actual weight of our piece (it's sold by weight and starts at 1.2 kg), nor the price per hectogram, nor the breed, nor anything about the aging process. It was served on a pre-heated plate. Perhaps a little overcooked. Let's just say I wouldn't go back for the Florentine steak; I'd probably get something else. The final bill was fair. I'd give it an average rating based on what we ate, but overall it was good.
