In Piazza San Zeno, next to the basilica of the patron saint of Verona, Al Calmiere is a historic typical Veronese restaurant that started as an osteria for wine serving in 1919. The establishment maintains a strong connection to the city's tradition and offers authentic, rich, and convivial cuisine. The menu features handmade pasta artisan first courses, grilled meats, and local specialties prepared with attention to quality. The restaurant's pride is the boiled meats trolley, composed of various types of boiled and roasted meats, a symbol of the most genuine Veronese cuisine. The atmosphere is historic and welcoming, ideal for lunches, dinners, ceremonies, and events, in one of the most characteristic corners of Verona.

Great food great service, we have been there two times, and got to try different dishes (about 6 different dishes). Every single one is good. With a well thought out menu, you can see the chef cares about the food. The staff were extra nice, super friendly and genuinely care about customers’ experience. They even remember where we sat the other time we visited. In general, very wholesome vibe. Great view of a church plaza. Enjoyable, relaxing, would definitely recommend. From all the restaurants we tried in Verona this one was our favorite!

The absolute best place in "fair Verona". Having Pietro and his team as host is an absolute treat. We have been treated, my friend and I, like family and we'll definitely be coming back as soon as possible. The meat is cooked to the perfect point and wine pairing is a masterpiece. Just go and enjoy and say hi to Pietro from the french girls ☺️

Nice place, a little bit fancier than the other restaurants in the corner. The food was delicious and the service really cool and helpful. It's what you wish when you think about going to an Italian restaurant.

I have been to this restaurant some years ago and had loved it, so when this time travelling with my girlfriends and had a stopover in Verona I took them here - and was not disappointed. We all had different dishes and every one was very fresh and very delicious. The staff is very friendly and helpful, offering extra plates and cutlery to share a dish, advising on wine and calling a taxi for us. The whole atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, the location very nice and off the bustle of the touristic centre of town, we very much enjoyed our meal.

Beautiful location in Piazza San Zeno. We had lunch outside on a beautiful spring day, shaded by the cool trees. The staff was friendly and helpful. Traditional dishes with a few innovations! Generous portions. The interior is spectacular, with a magnificent open fireplace (we'll definitely return in the winter)! Fresh ingredients and sublimely cooked dishes!
