Osteria la Fontanina

Situated just a stone’s throw from the Roman Theatre and Ponte Pietra, Osteria La Fontanina is one of Verona’s oldest restaurants with a history that dates back over 200 years. The Tapparini family have been at the helm of this friendly restaurant since 1984, and have given it an intimate and hushed feel, thanks to their love of antiques, with old mirrors, prints, silverware and period furnishings adding to the appeal. The cuisine here is rich and elaborate, with a focus on opulent dishes from the Veneto and elsewhere in Italy. Fish takes pride of place on the menu, although meat-lovers have not been forgotten. An extensive and exhaustive wine list completes the picture.
