Antica Bottega del Vino — Restaurant in Verona

One of the most remarkable wine restaurants in all of Italy! The interior, with antique wine barrels, iron chandeliers made from wine bottles and Biedermeier furniture, takes you back to a time when life was slower. The absolute highlight is the cellar: one of the most beautiful in the world and the most important in the Veneto, with 14,000 labels from five continents and around 120 wines available by the glass every day. A special feature is the Coravin system, which lets even the most precious bottles be poured by the glass without uncorking them. The wine list runs to 180 pages. The kitchen revolves around Venetian traditions, with the risotto all'Amarone and the pork cheeks braised in Amarone as absolute highlights: dishes in which wine isn't the accompaniment but the star. The pastissada de caval (horse meat stew) and the roast Brogno lamb from Lessinia are also classics on the menu. The risotto all'Amarone was in fact invented here.
