Intro: On our first full day in Verona, we were looking for a lunch spot before our reservation at…read moreJuliet's House. Osteria del Bugiardo was located in a good area so we made our way over to this wine bar. Service (2.5/5): Confusing system. There was a wait for a table but no hostess outside. We eventually talked to someone and she said that while there's no list, she will remember our faces and let us know when a table is ready. Not the most efficient system but we waited about 10 minutes to be seated at the bar. Our waiter took care of us pretty well after we got in. Ambiance (3.5/5): Your typical wine bar. Nice ambiance. The only downside for me is that seating at the bar consisted of bar stools. Without back support. Which I have always hated and which hurts my back. It's also pretty tight in there when they're at capacity. Drinks (4/5): Since this is a wine bar, you know what to order. We had glasses of rose. Not the heaviest pour but the price was solid. If you're not looking for wine, they also have things like Aperol Spritz. Food (4/5): You won't find hearty fare here but you will be able to munch on a lot of small plates. I'm talking things like mini sandwiches, croquettes, meatballs, salads, etc. Which is exactly what we did. We shared a couple of tapas between the two of us. It was filling and did the job. I wasn't stuffed but it was good and on the healthier side. Overall: Osteria del Bugiardo is one of the most popular restaurants on Yelp in Verona and it's located in the heart of the city.

Amazing service! Amazing ambiance! Amazing food! Ristorante da Umberto is a gem in Lake Garda's…read morecrown. We enjoyed a typical Italian meal (i.e. 2+ hours) during a long weekend in Brenzone sul Garda, one of many picturesque towns on the lake, just a few minutes up the road from Umberto's. We started with the Gran Frito Misto. Even though it was listed in the menu as a secondi, our waiter humored us and let us have it as an antipasti. The assortment of fried seafood and veggies was delish! I loved the calamari and shrimp. Even the sardines weren't bad! After that, we moved on to antipasti and secondi. My sister and I ordered the lasagne because it's a minimum 2 person dish. My hubby ordered the steak because... well... men like red meat? Y'all. I need to wax poetic about this lasagna for a minute. It was super creamy, bubbly and hot. Layers and layers of fresh noodles with a savory meat ragu sauce on top and prosciutto cotto and mushrooms sprinkled throughout. All served in a GIANT cauldron, easily enough for four people even though it was billed as a two person dish. The steak was good, too. And, we also enjoyed the sautéed potatoes. But seriously. Get. The. Lasagna. If you are still reading at this point (why aren't you on your way to Lake Garda for the lasagna?!), I suppose my last anecdote is that the house red wine was delicious.

While staying in Verona, we found a family-owned restaurant that served typical Veronese food. It…read morewas a white linen joint that didn't blink at our four kids rolling in at 7 PM. We really liked the food, and we loved the staff: mom and daughter were in the kitchen, dad was behind the bar and pouring the wine, and son was waiting tables, translating English, French, and German (that we heard) into Italian. Plus, he has a sharp wit and a keen sense of humor. We decided to go back the next night because (a) we really liked the food and wanted to try more of the menu, (b) we wanted some of the other family to experience the joint and (c) we weren't enamored with the other options in Verona. When we walked in, the son, Andrea, at first looked surprised and then got a huge grin on his face. We now felt like friends. The third night, we convinced the whole crew go back to the restaurant. When we walked in, he welcomed us warmly until we said, "28?" Fortunately, two of the families were unable to join us, so we only took up about a quarter of the restaurant. We tasted everything on the menu, including the specials. It was all great. By the third night, dad was actually smiling when he came around to help the Americans with their drinks. On our way out, mom and daughter came out of the kitchen to say goodbye, and Andrea gave us a hug. We now felt like family. If you ever find yourself in Verona, I highly recommend this place. We will certainly be going back.

We went on a whim because I saw it on a stroll through town and hoped it wasn't a tourist trap…read more definitely not a tourist trap! It's a very cosy small place with a great sense for tradition. You can sit out front to look at the lake or in the back on the street and engage in some quality people watching. The menu is very rich with anything from cheese plates to great traditional pasta dishes (my dad was in love with the carbonara). I found plenty of gluten free options on the menu and had beef filet with mashed potatoes. Sounds simple but tasted amazing! They also have a very good wine list and a very good house wine! If you want traditional Italian cuisine in the middle of the old town then you can't go wrong with this place.
