It ain’t bad, but somehow the price performance ratio is off: Restaurant MAZì im Morgarten (5. August 2024)
It’s a bit ago since I’ve last been to the MAZi im Morgarten, so it was time to give this place another try. Especially in the summer month when you get to ist outside, the MAZi is quite lovely. Just make sure, though, that you find a spot with some shadow as else it gets […]
Truly eventful drinks prepared with a lot of dry ice in a Harry Potter themed bar: L’Alchimista (3. August 2024)
To finalise the evening, we decided to have a few last drinks in a bar with a good rating and found the L’Alchimista. The name sounded promising and a 4.8 on Google with over 300 reviews as well, so, we entered. Now, the first challenge I felt was the heat and the lack of AC. […]
Exquisite food, but bad service: Restaurant Al Capitan Della Cittadella (3. August 2024)
One says “Clothes make the man” and I suppose this is entirely true. Frankly, it was quite surprising to see how much they actually looked upon us when we entered after a day of sightseeing in very touristic clothes. Yes, admittedly, the place is somewhat fancy, but not overly so. So, in any case, you […]
A good stop before dinner – if you’re into beers or simple Italian drinks: Santa Maria Craft Pub (3. August 2024)
Usually not a place I would end up in since the place has a focus on beer, I decided to go with some traditional Italian cocktails like the “Negroni” (EUR 8.00), which was good and, frankly speaking, rather on the intense side of things in terms of flavour. Still, overall enjoyable. The “Spritz” (EUR 4.50) […]
A revival lunch after 14 years – still good, but lost its glory: Restaurant Torcolo (3. August 2024)
Back in June 2010, I’ve been to the Torcolo da Barca, and I’ve tried one of the best pastas in my life (click here for the review from 2010). Since I was in Verona again, I decided to give this place another try. When entering the place, I was a bit surprised as it had […]
A great pre-opera experience with outstanding service: Restaurant Il Desco (2. August 2024)
Since the plan for the evening was to see Tosca in the Arena di Verona and since I had been looking for a restaurant, which accommodates with the timing of the opera, I booked the Il Desco, which – it turns out – has 1 Michelin star. You’re welcomed in a friendly and caring way […]
Lovely ice cream flavours worth trying: Q.B. Gelato (2. July 2024)
Of course, if you’re in Italy you have to try Gelato at least once, and since the Q.B. Gelato was located very closely to the climb to the castle, this kind of turned out to be the perfect stop. And it actually was also so from a flavour profile perspective. I went for the “crema” […]
A bit hidden away on a quiet piazza with surprisingly excellent food: Restaurant Antica Torretta (2. August 2024)
Since we hadn’t booked a place for lunch, we had to decide a bit last minute where we wanted to go eat. Given, most of the places, which had a terrace and/or a view were booked out, we ended up going somewhere in the vicinity, which was rather lovely, respectively turned out to be rather […]
