The menu celebrates the great classics of typical Veronese cuisine, presenting dishes handed down through time that tell the story and identity of these lands. Among the first courses, the traditional pasta e fagioli (pasta and bean soup) stands out, alongside bigoli with donkey ragù, pappardelle with duck sauce and the unmissable gnocchi al ragù, preparations that capture the very essence of the Scaligera table. Polenta, the undisputed star of Veneto tradition, faithfully accompanies many of the house specialities.
The main courses pay homage to the recipes most deeply rooted in the territory: pastissada de caval (slow-cooked horse stew) served with soft polenta, snails cooked according to ancient local tradition, and the rich tris of polenta with gorgonzola, mushrooms and sopressa win over even the most discerning palates. The Amarone-braised stew, prepared with the prized Valpolicella wine, completes a culinary offering that turns every meal into a journey through the authentic flavours of the Verona of yesteryear. A treasured address for lovers of true Veronese cuisine.
