Locanda Castelvecchio

Located right opposite the Castelvecchio, this place has been called kitsch with old furniture and big mirrors, although many customers find it extremely charming. They serve for example roasted and boiled meats served with many kinds of sauces (try the pearà made of bread, pepper and marrow, green sauce and horse-radish sauce). Also, yummy pasta and risotto dishes are served.

Dining

Veronese cuisine is extremely tasty. Many dishes are meat-based and you should, at the very least, try the pastissada de caval—a horse-meat stew cooked in red wine with polenta (a sort of thick porridge made with maize flour). There are many different kinds of risotto available, such as risi e bisi—with peas, or coi bruscandoli—with herbs, and rich homemade pasta, especially gnocchi. Don’t miss the soppressa all’aglio (salami with garlic).
