Caffè Filippini

In Verona most of the apéritivo bars are located in piazza Erbe, the oldest square in Verona which offers an amazing view. The most famous one is undoubtedly Filippini where you can have a coffee or a cool drink like Prosecco while watching people slowly wandering around. If the hunger kicks in, do not worry, they serve food too.

Bars & Nightlife

People in Verona – and in the northeast of Italy in general – like to meet in osterias (canteen) during the day and drink wine, white from midday till late afternoon and red in the evening. Hence the (false) myth that people in this area are often drunk – in fact, they usually limit themselves to just a glass or two all day and always combine their wine with canapés, salami and other snacks. In the winter and spring, Verona’s night life is rather quiet, and if you want to meet people you will need to visit an osteria or try the clubs and discos. In summer though, things brighten as many people choose to sit outside or walk through the streets of the city centre.
