Able to trace its history to the sixteenth century and celebrated as an eatery since 1890 Antica Bottega del Vino, or Bottega Vini, rates highly amongst Verona citizens and visitors for both an extensive Wine List and homemade Food intended to compliment it.
Purchased by Le Famiglie dell’Amarone d’Arte and Antica Rinomata Riseria Ferron in 2011, a bit of restoration doing nothing to distract from Bottega’s old-world charm, it is with patrons two-deep at the Bar that those with reservations are seated to choose their meal before a Sommelier visits to discus pairings.
Offering off-menu Cicchetti that change frequently, or a plate of 24 month Prosciutto to match €8 glasses of Sparkling Wine, fans of Venetian tradition will be happy to find Baccala served soft atop a bed of Polenta while those seking to simply snack enjoy freshly fried Potatoes served thin and crispy.
Known for housemade Pastas, faultless Bigoli beneath Duck Ragout best suited to Chianti, those willing to spend a little extra will be delighted by airy Dumplings slicked in Butter with a liberal spoon of Caviar plus Chives.
Decorated in Medieval style, heavy woods and varnished walls surrounding wrought-iron chandeliers supporting empty bottles, it is best to allow busy servers to suggest Dolci that include a “Budino” more like Flan adjacent thick Chocolate or Potato Flake “Sandy Cake” complimented by Coffee Cream.
