I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Verona

19/05/2026: We were completely disappointed and absolutely cannot understand the many positive reviews. For the "Fish Platter with King Prawns," I was asked which side dish I would like. Naturally, one assumes that a side dish offered is included. Among the options were fried potatoes – however, we only realized on the bill that these were suddenly charged at an additional €6. This hadn't been mentioned at all beforehand. If a side dish isn't included in the price, this should be clearly communicated. We find this misleading. Even more disappointing: The dish is called "Fish Platter with King Prawns." However, I was served only prawns – no fish. If a dish is described as a fish platter, one expects fish on the plate. Otherwise, the dish should simply be renamed. In my opinion, this is simply setting the wrong expectations for the customer. The fried potatoes themselves unfortunately bore little resemblance to proper fried potatoes – more like small pieces of boiled potatoes, briefly fried in oil, very dry, and without any particular preparation. Overall, the value for money was an absolute disaster. In addition, some of the dishes at our table were missing ingredients that were explicitly stated to be included. When we pointed this out, they initially tried to explain that these ingredients were supposedly already there. Only later were they reluctantly provided. Instead of responding in a customer-oriented manner, we got the impression that our comments were seen as a nuisance. Things got particularly unpleasant afterward: Once the situation was resolved, staff members talked about us behind our backs and gossiped about us—so loudly that it could be heard across several tables. This kind of behavior is completely unprofessional and disrespectful to paying customers. As the evening progressed, the staff became noticeably less friendly. This impression was even reinforced the next day when we happened to walk past the restaurant: One of the waiters pointed at us and was clearly talking about us with a colleague. After the previous day's experiences, this left a very negative impression. We also noticed that almost all the tables around us received a bread basket—except for ours. This might seem like a minor issue on its own, but unfortunately, combined with the rest of the experience, it fits the overall picture. Overall, a very disappointing visit – not just because of the food, but especially because of the way guests were treated. We definitely won't be back.

18/05/2026: I also cannot understand the positive reviews here. The pizza wasn't as ordered; it was missing ingredients listed on the menu. The waiter was very unfriendly and initially claimed everything was fine. Only after pointing it out twice was the pizza finally finished with the missing toppings. The waiters were very loud about it, so the other guests could hear it too. Absolutely not recommended – very unprofessional, especially if you're a family of six and want to eat there. Even two days later, the waiters were making fun of us when we walked by. There are much better ways to spend your money in Bardolino for good food. So, definitely not recommended.

10/04/2026: Unfortunately, this was the worst wine recommendation we've ever received. After enjoying a rather robust and good red wine, we wanted to try another one and asked for a recommendation. The recommended wine, objectively speaking, was a taste disaster. It was also lighter than the one we had just tasted, which, in addition to the already poor quality of the wine, highlighted the incompetent recommendation and the staff's lack of knowledge about their own wines. Nevertheless, the location is pleasant, and if you don't ask for recommendations and just drink what you already know, it's alright.

09/04/2026: That's it! We've been regulars here for over 15 years. It's practically our "men's hangout" for the ladies shopping at the "Alexandra" boutique. And of course, we had the simple but excellent Custoza by the half-liter... with a refill. So, two half-liter glasses of wine. So far, so good... as always... delicious snacks and classically friendly service included. And then came the bill: €32!!! This will likely be the end of our tradition here. The price-performance ratio has completely gone out the window, and they've slipped into tourist traps... from now on, and this is a good advice for everyone: even in places without restaurants and simple bars, study the menu before sitting down!

21/05/2026: We've been going to San Martino regularly for over 10 years. The food and atmosphere were always very good. This time, however, we were disappointed. Even attractive dishes and slate plates couldn't compensate. The main course—grilled squid, about ten pieces the size of walnuts, accompanied by various green, white, and red sauces and a garnish of lamb's lettuce—was meager. €20 for that is outrageous. It was only suitable as an appetizer. A slightly more elaborate salad for €12 was the final straw. The service listened to our dissatisfaction briefly and patiently, without any complaints. As walk-ins, we were waved through... but there will be plenty of customers in the coming days. Fortunately, Bardolino has numerous good restaurant alternatives.

14/05/2026: We were served quickly and had a good table; our order was taken promptly. The appetizers were okay. The vitello tonnato was too dry. The tagliatelle with seafood was good, as was the grilled sea bass. The potatoes were lukewarm, the grilled vegetables cold. We complained and immediately received a new portion, again cold. The third plate was only lukewarm and also only half full. We had only taken a small sample from each of the previous plates. The dessert, tiramisu, bore no resemblance to the picture on the menu, but it was okay. What also bothered me was that a €5 cover charge was added to a bill of over €100 for two people. Very disappointing.

04/06/2026: Waitress could not lift herself away from phone to even take more order. Left after others served before us. Rude poor service.

04/06/2026: Worst bar in town, most unfriendly waitress. Never ever again

28/05/2026: Unspeakable. The website says it's open, I arrive at 1:00 PM and the shutters are down after a half-hour drive.

23/04/2026: Coming back from a meeting in Verona we went to this place, super professional and friendly, excellent food

15/05/2026: It's always a pleasure to come back here

12/05/2026: I recommend you go somewhere else - the food here is not even average quality.

10/03/2026: Finally, a trattoria as you'd expect. Good food, generous portions, pure tradition. More than affordable prices. Friendly and courteous. Mantuan dishes.

19/02/2026: The best risotto all'isolana I've ever eaten in my life! Kudos to the two owners, you're wonderful!

17/05/2026: A very positive first experience at Pigno; well-kept surroundings, spacious, clean rooms; unfortunately, the temperature didn't allow us to enjoy the pool; a special mention goes to the owner, Laura, who was very attentive and pleasant to be around. All in all, very positive.

30/04/2026: Loved this place, really cool vibe, lovely cocktails and very good food

23/04/2026: I've always gone there for an aperitif and I was very impressed by the Asian cuisine, super top!

18/04/2026: We booked through booking with a "booking confirmation" attached, but upon arrival we discovered that the hotel pizzeria was closed... but not for the weekly holiday... abandonment is proof! ... So tell us!!!!

26/01/2026: We were at lunch on Sunday. We ordered two large plates, but the fish was nonexistent. Spaghetti was a portion for one person on a diet, sea bass was decent, and baked potatoes were served on the side. We waited a little longer, but they arrived a bit late and were burnt. There were no desserts; for €90, it was too much. WE WILL NEVER COME BACK, THANKS FOR THE RIP-OFF.

24/05/2026: We stumbled upon it by chance, and ordered two lasagnas with three bowls of sauce to assemble: ragù, tomato, and peas. Very good and actually quite generous. A liter of water and a half of wine plus two coffees. Cost: €40. The food is good, but the price is excessive.

03/05/2026: Top-notch, simple, traditional cuisine, a varied menu, and authentic ingredients. Congratulations, well done. Recommended by someone who frequents 100 restaurants a year. We always return with pleasure.

08/09/2025: He was only open this weekend, Saturday, September 6, 2025, and probably only because there was an event. Word is he won't be cooking here again until the end of the year...

21/08/2025: Everything is fantastic!! But one star deduction because it's only open Fridays to Sundays and there's no way for residents of the Residence to get anything during the week.

29/03/2026: Honestly, we always go there for an aperitif and even for a simple toast, kind and helpful!

30/11/2025: A good coffee and a dry pastry with jam. Everything was fine.
