Wine was great. Tiramisu had a peach twist I enjoyed after a week in Italy (yes, I get tiramisu every night...). Service was friendly. Beautiful garden! Cons: tough to get a table if you walk up from the street. They told us they were down a server... But still was hard to excuse how slow everything was for the price (why I took off a star). We waited about 20 minutes for a glass of wine... Tough to get anyone attention after we ordered the food.

Like a lot of restaurants in Italy, they charge more to sit outside -- but it's totally worth it. You're immediately charmed by your beautiful surroundings; it's a great spot for people watching. After an afternoon of shopping and exploring Verona, we stopped at Le Cantine for dinner. Though they were pretty packed, the waiters seated us (a group of 6) immediately. Service was impeccable; everyone was extremely gregarious and friendly, even with the language barrier. LOL. Our waiter, Salvatore, was awesome and extremely helpful. For dinner, I had the special of the day: stuffed zucchini and pasta served with a special sauce. Though the portion was small, it was extremely filling. The light flavors of the sauce and pasta also made this dish easy to eat. The pizzas here also seemed extremely popular (with everyone ordering them), so we also ordered one. Though I don't remember what it was called (see photo), it was delicious. The crust was perfect and it was absolutely stuffed with toppings. Mmmm. My dad ordered Spaghetti alle Vongole (Spaghetti with Clams), an Italian specialty, and it tasted like seafood heaven. The flavors in that dish were extremely fresh and tasty. And who could go to Italy without having tiramisu for dessert? Le Cantine's tiramisu is beautiful and tasty -- I could have eaten a tub of that fluffy concoction. Overall, loved it!

We walked in as a party of 12 after being turned away from 2 other restaurants that couldn't seat us. The owner,mossimo, who was also our server, couldn't have been more gracious and accommodating. He made off- menu pastas for our kids, and everything we ate was more delicious than the next! We tried the cheese plate, prosciutto, gnocchi, veal, scallops, tiramisu, and white chocolate mousse, all fantastic! The wine list is extensive, and ooohhh the grappa! I could not recommend this place more! If you find yourself hungry in Verona, definitely go out of your way to find this gem!

The space is narrow and feels a bit more claustrophobic than it likely is in reality because the back wall is stacked from floor to ceiling with merchandise, and the space opposite it is the counter. There's a narrow strip that's just wide enough for a human to pass through before bumping up against the teeny tiny tables that are shoved up against the wall o' merch. Despite all that, we liked the vibe of the place. It's loud and crowded and chaotic, yes (and this was even during "shoulder season", I can't imagine what the place looks like in the high season!) But the staff was incredibly friendly, the patrons - lots of locals, from the way they interacted with staff and slammed their espresso - were accommodating and the drinks were hot and expertly made. The first round of drinks - on our first trip - didn't take too long to get crafted and served. But on our second stop, my husband made the mistake of ordering a pour-over coffee, which the nice man at the counter said they could do, but it'd be a bit longer. Boy howdy, was he not wrong. It took almost 10 minutes for his drink to come out, and the guy kept giving us updates to let us know we hadn't been forgotten. We were fine with waiting - it was a no-activity day for us - but I did feel like I was getting in other people's way just standing like a lump near the door. The coffees are good and strong, and decently priced, though, and they have an expansive menu that goes beyond coffees, to teas and pastries and beyond. We never got the chance to try anything more than their bean juice, but had we been in the city longer, we might have gone back for more.
