We liked it so…read moremuch, we went twice (practically unheard of when we travel, we like to experience as much as possible in our time in a city.) On our first visit, we wanted a full lunch, so even though the cicchetti on display at the front of the store looked alluring and delightful, we asked for a table inside, which we were promptly given. We were all set to order a bottle of wine, but my husband spied "Verona Spritz" on the menu and we quickly pivoted. For my main, I went with their bigoli cacio e pepe and my husband ordered the pappardelle ragu. The Verona Spritz was surprising - crisp but warm, with an herby undertone from the (giant) sprig of fresh mint. The bigoli was perfectly cooked (I have a fondness for thick, chewy noodles) and the sauce was creamy without being too cloying or thick. My husband absolutely loved his pappardelle pasta, with the meatiness and cheesiness and overall flavors merging into a flavor explosion in his face. We were admittedly a bit bummed we weren't able to sample the cicchetti, so of course we went back for a second visit. On that visit we ordered the cicchetti and wine pairing, which was a great deal and so SO tasty. We were served six cicchetti each, and had three wines paired per two cicchetti. The staff did a great job of keeping an eye on us, only stopping by to pour the next bottle when we were ready to move on to the next bite. Each wine was delicious and easy to drink. They did serve two whites and a red; I'm not typically a white wine fan but these were incredible - to the point where I took pictures just in case i can find them locally (or get them imported.) We highly recommend this spot for either a full meal or cicchetti and wine. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming - they had a lot of locals coming in and out both times we were there - and the amount of food you get for the price you pay is a deal.

It was quiet when we arrived at noon and then filled up quite a lot by the time we departed. Clearly, a restaurant for the locals. First course, a big pile of a pasta called "bigolini" which I've not seen before. It is like thick spaghetti with a rough surface. That is needed because the sauce on it was quite thick and another interesting taste - nettles. Definitely different. Second course, risotto made with a red wine reduction. Very flavorful and rich and the pasta was perfectly al dente. We'll definitely need to return to here for dinner! [Review 16980 overall - 185 in Italy - 496 of 2022.]

The restaurant is very cute (free WiFi) and homey feeling with an exposed brick interior and interesting decoration choices throughout the space. If you're so inclined there's also and outdoor patio area. Maybe we just ordered poor menu items but the food was underwhelming and not particularly standout. For our anti pasta course we went with the cured meat trio with polenta. The meats weren't particularly good and combined with the bland polenta it just wasn't a good combo. For our primi pasta course we had the bigoli in a horse (yes horse) bolognese sauce. Of our three dishes this was the best. For our main meat course with did horse cheeks braised in an Amarone wine sauce with polenta. I didn't like the polenta any better on our second dish and the cheek just didn't do it for me. I ended up leaving the bulk of the dish uneaten. All in all-maybe I just ordered poorly but I if I ever make it back to Verona this spot will be a pass for me.

It was not bad in the sense that it was fresh; however, it was overcooked --coming from California, it was definitely far below my expectations. My spouse had the tagliatelle, which was good. The wine list is on an iPad, which makes it a little bit cumbersome to navigate. Most of the guests in my party wanted to have wine by the glass, which was not intuitive on the iPad. The location is very central, but this restaurant is tucked inside of a building that houses multiple businesses -- it has a neon sign that is grammatically problematic in English. That lended to the sense of pretentiousness that characterized the entire meal. I was grateful for the small cookies at the end of the meal, but by the time the check came, I was just ready to run out the door. All in all in exhausting night.
