Experienced tourists, when asked where to eat in Verona, are advised to choose catering establishments away from the historical center. It is there that the Veronians themselves eat, since it is both tastier and cheaper.

The Vecio Macello restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere and a wide selection of dishes, where the average bill for two is about 60 EUR.
