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.
It is simply impossible to list all the best restaurants and cafes in Verona, let's just say a few words about a few interesting establishments. Those who love expensive "author's" cuisine should book a table at Locanda 4 Cuochi (address: Via Alberto Mario, 12). The Vecio Macello restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere and a wide selection of dishes, where the average bill for two is about 60 EUR.
Want to try a gourmet fish menu and are willing to pay 200 EUR for a dinner for two? Visit the restaurant L’Oste scuro. Not far from the Amphitheater there is a more affordable "fish" restaurant of Verona with Mediterranean cuisine - Al Capitan della Cittadella, the average check for two in which is about 70 EUR.
In the tourist descriptions of Verona, you can find reviews of the restaurants "12 Apostles" (Dodici Apostoli) and Antico Caffe Dante, famous for their interior and spectacular presentation of dishes. Lunch for two here costs 100-150 EUR.
There are also more affordable prices in Verona's restaurants.

And for very budget-friendly options, there are pizzerias like Il pizzino da Guido and Pizzeria Vesuvio 3, where you can order pizza and other snacks starting from 4-6 EUR per serving, including delivery.
Well, what about Verona's cafes and their prices? The city has quite a few cozy and affordable establishments where you can enjoy a cup of cappuccino with delightful pastries for around 4-5 EUR (for example, at the Castelvecchio café).
