We opted to split some ham to start. And it was really quite a nice ham. Next, we had a pasta course. I had a spicy gorgonzola macaroni and my partner ordered the truffle pasta. Both of them were really top notch. The truffle pasta was buttery and subtle with truffle. The macaroni was powerful, spicy and fully of an amazing taste of gorgonzola. For mains I had rabbit with polenta and my partner ordered a steak. They were both perfectly cooked. My rabbit had an amazing flavor and the polenta was perfect (and I usually am not a fan of polenta). I ate everything. We even opted to have a bit of dessert and it was a nice vanilla cream dessert. There were also a couple of very nice wines we had. The service was great, and they bread was replenished when we were finished (Even though there was quite a bit in the basket they brought back). It was definitely at the top of my list of restaurants we went to in the area.

However, we experienced a couple of disappointments. My husband and I had the zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and a local cheese to start. They were quite greasy and TBH, I make better ones at home. For my main, I had another special, the pappardelle with fresh mushrooms. It was Fairly good. My husband had some stuffed crepes that looked a lot like blintzes. He loved them. The hostess who served us, the waitress, and the waiter who served us drinks were all attentive and professional. However, the waiter who brought us our dishes was not. He was brusque and after we had just ordered a cappuccino, we sneezed on his hands without wearing a mask (he was the only worker in the restaurant not wearing one) and didn't wash them. We canceled the cappuccino and he seemed surprised. We tried to explain why to the hostess and she didn't want to hear it. A very mixed experience.

The best tortelli ever!!! The home made desserts were excellent too, the bill was totally agreeable too- say 30 euros each for a complete meal plus the wine.

This is the kind of restaurant which you only find by recommendation of exacting food loving locals. We were lucky enough to meet such a person on our trip to Verona and a tour of the Allegrini winery. No review of Dalla Rosa Alda would be complete without a short descirption of the village San Giorgio. A narrow and winding road brings you to the top of a mountain. (hill?) As far as I could tell the town has a deli, a cafe, a church, perhaps a hotel or two, and this fine restaurant. But, most importantly, breathtaking views of Lake Garda and the Valpolicella region wineries. Here's a brief rundown of the food sampled: Pasta e fagioli soup - I had a bad "bean" experience as a child, so my appreciation for the tender morsels has been slow to recover as an adult. Further experiences with poorly prepared versions of pasta e fagioli in the States hasn't helped. If I was going to learn to love this traditional Italian soup, then now was the time. Here, the soup was perfectly seasoned with firm bites of pasta throughout. Still more bean than pasta for my taste, but the excellence in preparation showed through. My wife loved it. Risotto - As is common in the Verona area, no restaurant will prepare Risotto for you unless you are willing to wait 20+ minutes and order more than 2 plates. This was our last night and we couldn't wait any longer to try it, despite our usual aversion to ordering the same dish. We were rewarded with some of the best risotto I have ever had. Slow cooked beef and polenta - Hugely rich in flavor cut with your fork beef with a side of oh so sticky creamy polenta. Lamb chops - Medium rare in the center, lightly seasoned, perfectly charred bone. Like little meat lollipops. So that's it. A hidden gem, revealed. I'm mostly writing this review for selfish reasons in case I lose the business card. But, perhaps some fellow yelpers will appreciate the goodness that is Dalla Rosa Alda....
