La Taverna di Via Stella

Very well done traditional classic Veronese dishes at La Taverna di via Stella in Verona. Red wines by the glass 🍷 invite trying Valpolicella, Valpolicella Superiore, Ripasso della Valpolicella, and Amarone, though I only got the middle two today. They had a special of a whole slow braised stinco di maiale 🐷 for €23, which the table next to me ordered and looked delicious, but I've seen sixteen too many wine braised hunks of meat on my own plate lately. Beware the prohibited games! I opted for house cured pork loin, one smoked, one marinated in Amarone. These were fine and a cut above normal, but I do rarely find charcuterie a representation of the style, attention, or quality of a restaurant - I really should have ordered a more interesting starter. I follow with bigoli (pasta shape) with anatra (duck) ragù - Just as dry but flavorful as those in Bologna. Then a semifreddo and another amaro that I didn't catch the name of but tasted like all the rest, I mean was a wonderful and unique expression of local herbs and bitter forest that couldn't have come from anywhere else but this very spot, which you could taste in every drop.

Great place for a meal! The appetizer was amazing! They explained what cheeses to eat in what specific order, the lady preparing the cheeses even gave us fun facts and information about the different types of cheese and how to eat them! The main meals were delicious and quite a lot of food. We also had a tiramisu for dessert and it was so tasty! 10/10 would recommend!

We went for lunch and the service and food were phenomenal along with their extensive wine list. The steak with amarone reduction was to die for and the chocolate salami was so good, first came bites, then a picture

The food was all delicious. Cannot complain about anything. Staff friendly. Gave everything we asked for. Good recommendations too.

Our favorite meal in Verona. Service was warm and friendly. The wine options by bottle or glass were very good. We had the bigoli all’anatra and a filetto di scottona all’amarone, both of which were fantastic. Also highly recommend the tiramisu, it was perfect in size, texture, and flavor. No outdoor seating that we saw but the indoor space was very charming.

Old fashioned, friendly place with very good food. Great pastas, and the rabbit is excellent! Must reserve to get a table, especially at night. Local crowd.

I have been visiting Taverna Via Stella in Verona for over 10 years, and it is always a wonderful experience. The food is delicious and traditional. Everything is fresh and made with care. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I especially enjoy the pasta and the local wine. The quality has always stayed the same, and I feel at home every time I visit. I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Verona.

A great place with a very local atmosphere. The food was amazing, we had the cheese and cold cuts platter, and those cheeses were some of the best ones I've ever tasted. Liked the truffle, the amarena wine and the blue cheese in particular. We also tried the grilled beef and it was cooked to perfection. So glad we got the chance to dine in your restaurant. Thank you!
