"The people who run this place care deeply about their craft, and it reveals itself in every single thing here. All their products are carefully selected and a few are exclusive. The prosciutto comes from a farm nearby, and it’s got just the right proportion of fat to meat. It literally gives you pleasure to have it in your mouth. The coffee, Giamaica Afribon, is only sold to a few places, and it was all the right parts sweet, bitter, and balanced. After the owner talked about the wines they offered by the glass, people at the table next to us commented on what good wines they were. I had a white soave from the region, and it was as perfect as a white could be. Their croissants come from a patisserie that only makes them for them. The chocolate was especially buttery, flakey, and amazing. They don’t just cook food. They have a laboratory elsewhere where they experiment and then bring the winners here. The lasagna was a particular standout—the best we’d ever had—creamy and pink, not alternatingly red and white with chunks of ground meat or sausage. All their recipes are kept under lock and key. We will definitely come back the next time we visit Verona."
