Trattoria San Basilio - VERONA

A little off the beaten track, this delightful garden trattoria has much to appeal. Just up the road from Porta Vescovo, in an unremarkable street, you 'll see a small patch of shrubbery poking out of the terraced facades. Upon closer inspection, double gates lead you through into a gravelled courtyard, which is sheltered by a massive vine canopy where grapes hang enmasse. The menu is offered by the waitress and it is entirely in Italian no other language. Never mind. Our waitress was very helpful and her English good, although her delight at being told so suggested she thought it was poor. It wasn 't and with her help we had a delightful meal. For antipasti have the 'vegetables ' tomatoes, carrots, peppers etc so fresh and flavoursome it 's like they were just picked. If you 're staying in this part of Verona or just want to be away from the centre, this restaurant is a fine choice.

Il pranzo è stato ottimo, il posto è bello e il personale è cordiale. Abbiamo mangiato un antipasto di cozze cotte, pasta e parmigiana: poco più di 20€ a testa.

Siamo stati piacevolmente colpiti dall'ottimo salame, dai deliziosi piatti di carne e dalla posizione incantevole. Il proprietario è molto preparato e cordiale. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Davvero un delizioso angolo. Complimenti!

Il ristorante è davvero carino, con personale giovane e gentile. Il catering è creativo e delizioso.

This is a superb restaurant, well worth the pleasant half-an-hour walk outside of the main city centre to its much more residential surroundings. We were a party of 6, and the restaurant owner made a real effort to make us all feel welcome. The menu was in Italian, but the owner was happy to discuss the various dishes with us. All of us were spoilt for choice, and well impressed with the options. Our vegetarian friend was well looked after with a number of substitutes happily made by the chef to accommodate her, as well as there being some great veggie options on the menu also. The food itself was fantastic and everyone was very happy with their selections. My favorite dish was the Gnocchi with caramelized onions and pork cheek. Absolutely fantastic! The wine menu was extensive and ranged well in price and offering. The owner took great care in decanting and serving our selections. The service was faultless, even offering us a complimentary glass of desert wine. We were made to feel truly at home. This was emphasized by the rustic Italian dining room feel to the restaurant. Overall; a lovely relaxed experience, with excellent food, wine and service!
