Verona travel guide: where to stay, what to do and where to eat in Verona, Veneto, Italy.

Veronese cuisine is rooted in the Po plain and Lessini hills: polenta, rice, potato gnocchi, horse meat, boiled meats and freshwater fish. Valpolicella wines, especially Amarone and Ripasso, appear in sauces and risotto as well as in the glass. Verona hosts one three-star Michelin restaurant and several other starred tables, alongside modest osterie.
