Our Story
About Us
Found on the Adige River in Northeast Italy, the town of Verona is renowned for its stunning architecture, romantic stories, and artistic heritage. Each year, multitudes of visitors arrive in the ancient city; some fall in love under Juliet’s Balcony, others to live in the past at the Verona Arena, but everyone comes to experience the food. At the city’s informal trattorias, you can find food that is honest and spirited and distinctly Verona. Generations of families, pairs of lovers, and groups of friends gather not only for a meal but for the pure enjoyment that an evening of exceptional food, memorable conversation, and togetherness brings.
With our thoughtfully chosen menu and locally sourced ingredients, Bar Verona strives to deliver cuisine that is fresh and uncomplicated, yet unique and refined; honest and spirited food and drinks that our nearby neighbors and out-of-town guests will remember about us as delicious and will want to bring their loved ones back to experience for themselves. Bar Verona is also a peanut, tree nut, and sesame free kitchen.
So, linger over lunch with your friends, flirt over one more glass of wine at dinner, or host a private event with us, because you’re in Verona and it’s time to vivi la bella vita.
