 Best Restaurants in VeronaAn idea that many tourists might have a hard time swallowing is
that the Veronese are keen eaters of horse-meat. The dish known as
is a local speciality and adventurous travellers
should try the
, a horse-meat stew cooked in Amarone
wine and paprika and served with polenta. It''s also not uncommon to
find bullocks'' testicles and calf''s brain on restaurant menus
here. Other traditional Veronese dishes include
(pork casserole),
(mixture of boiled meats) and
, a traditional accompaniment of fruit and
vegetables in mustard - and don''t miss out on the delicious
(salami with garlic). Thankfully, for
the unadventurous, ''regular'' Italian fare is tasty and most
travellers will be familiar with dishes like risotto, ravioli,
pizza, pasta and other delicious grills. |
