Trattoria al Pompiere

Verona


Named for its former owner, a pompiere (fireman; note the fireman's hat on the wall), this local hotspot is known for its vast cheese selection and house-cured salumi platter. Make a meal of the starters with wine by the glass, or graduate to plates of pheasant-filled ravioli or goose-egg bigoli (Venetian fresh pasta) with goose ragù. Reserve ahead.
