"For more than 40 years, this refined, elegant restaurant housed in a Renaissance-style palazzo in the heart of Verona and embellished with beautiful works of art has been the city’s “drawing room”, making it the perfect choice for a special occasion. The menu showcases renowned classic recipes created by talented chef Elia Rizzo, who has now been replaced by son Matteo in the kitchen. Most of the dishes are created by Matteo and have a light, fresh flavour (the scallops in a Mediterranean tandoori masala are superb), although there are also many of his father’s signature dishes on the menu, such as the memorable butter and mascarpone mousse served with bread at the beginning of the meal. The interesting “Capitolo 4” tasting menu explores traditional, regional flavours and includes some of the restaurant’s iconic dishes spanning the period from when it opened in 1982 to the current day." - Michelin Inspector

We loved the food, everything was amazing, also the service.We had a very nice waiter, who knew his way with wines and tasting.Nice manners also.Compliments to the chef and the staff, who really know their job. The table was not very comfortable, as it had a middle block foot and i could not stretch my legs especially as a woman wearing high heels, so i had to sit sideways all the time.Also, it was a little chill inside, but i noticed that's how it is everywhere, in every restaurant.If you wear sweater and winter boots, you're safe.But if you wear a dress with high heels be ready to shiver. The prices are actually cheap.We payed for 2 people around 500 euro 2 menus, a bottle of white wine, 2 grappas and a bottle of still water.In Romania, the same type of food but without the Michelin star, exceeds 500 euro for 2 people.Overall, if you like this type of food, you will love this restaurant. 100% recommend it!

Having ordered, we waited an hour for our starter. Our waitress was efficient but cold in her approach. Having ordered a recommended bottle of Sicilian merlot at 150 euro, I found it fizzy. I complained to the semilion, saying I thought it was corked. He told me it was carbonated and this was to be expected. He told me that as it bred, it would improve. It didn't. He decanted it at my request. It did not improve. A fizzy red merlot from Sicily.😅 I got no satisfaction as the staff were getting aggressive, so I paid and left.

Stunning experience. From the minute you enter the location, you are embraced by very friendly and attentive service. Food is above all expectations, I highly recommend to get a wine pairing - I promise you won’t regret it. We had tickets to Arena on the same evening, and the crew did everything to ensure we have a great evening and leave on time for the show. Can’t wait to be back and come here again without any hurry - because the place is absolutely worth to be the show on its own!

If you’re visiting Verona, and want to taste delicious ceviches, smoked salmon that’s served with literal smoke, sourdough bread to die for, and a duck breast that’ll make you dream of it, then this is the place to go for! The food is incredible, and like most Michelin starred restaurants they take account of any allergies you have. The lovely staff, combined with a pleasant and quaint atmosphere makes this restaurant worth the visit! Highly recommended, and thank you for the amazing dinner!

Truly magnificent experience. From dish to dish, wine selection, aperitivos, and - most of all - chef and the entire team and their exceptional hospitality- this was a wonderful and delicious evening out. Cannot wait to return! Also, there were so many vegetarian options! They called in advance to ensure that proper care was taken for all dietary restrictions, which showed they go the extra mile with their guests. A fantastic place.

What an absolutely remarkable experience! Our wedding reception in the private room was nothing short of perfection. Antonio's service was truly exceptional; he not only expertly handled allergies and food preferences but also showcased an unmatched knowledge of wines. The nine-course tasting menu was a culinary masterpiece, with every dish being sheer perfection. Even when we dined at Osteria Francescana later in the week, it paled in comparison to the culinary delight we experienced at Ristorante Il Desco. Without a doubt, we're eagerly anticipating our return, and we should make that reservation right away to ensure we don't miss out on this exceptional dining experience again.
