Traditional dishes in Verona

On every corner in Verona, you'll find a restaurant or café, a trattoria or osteria (a simpler and more affordable restaurant), a pizzeria or tavern, a bakery or pastry shop.

Those who prefer to cook for themselves can visit local food markets, delis, and grocery shops. Wine bars and enotecas are open all day — keep in mind that more than 20 types of fine local wines are produced here. Fast food chains like McDonald's and Burger King are also available.

Enjoy the local cuisine. Try seafood and horse meat dishes, cheeses from local farms, traditional Italian risotto with pork, cornmeal porridge (polenta), and Veronese potato gnocchi. Most tourists speak highly of the local desserts — apple pies, almond cookies, the "Sbrisolona" cake, and Italian gelato.
