La Taverna di Via Stella

We had dinner here and were truly impressed by the outstanding food and impeccable service, perfectly complemented by an excellent and diverse wine selection. I strongly recommend booking a table in advance—we were lucky to get one, as several guests were turned away due to the restaurant being fully booked. The daily ragu pasta was delicious, as was the horse meat with polenta. The cured ham starter was outstanding, and the desserts were just as impressive. The wine list is remarkable, and the waiter recommended an excellent local white wine that paired beautifully with our meal.

La Taverna di Via Stella is a great choice for a relaxed, traditional lunch or dinner in Verona. Service is genuinely friendly, and the pasta dishes we tried were well executed and satisfying. The menu also leans into local classics, including traditional Veronese specialties like horse ragù, which adds to the sense of authenticity. A dependable place if you’re looking for something local rather than touristy. Quietly rated: worth stopping.

Delicious food, excellent service and incredibly tasty wine. By far the best restaurant experience you can imagine. We will definitely be coming back next time when in Verona!

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.

We had dinner here and arrived right at opening time (7:15 pm). Within minutes the place filled up and it was already very busy - even on a Monday night, which says a lot. The food was incredibly authentic and delicious, and the service was polite and pleasant throughout. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Sono stata in questo ristorante a Maggio e devo dire che si mangia veramente molto bene. Ottimo servizio e atmosfera. Ci tornerei!

Fresh cured meats, well-cut, and delicious. Delicious cheeses! I had one, then ossobuco with polenta.... So delicious!! My companion had pasta with cod and cherry tomatoes!! Yummy!! And we were so full we even had dessert! Guys... go there! It's true, it's not cheap, but it's totally worth it!! Delicious!!! Don't miss it!

Piatti veramente gustosi e preparati con cura, secondo tradizioni locali. In due abbiamo preso: bigoli al ragù di anatra, fettuccine con il musso, polenta con brasato di cinghiale e polenta con trippa, un tiramisù, 1 bottiglia di vino, acqua e due caffè. 109€, in linea con ristoranti di simile fascia in zone centrali/turistiche. Servizio eccellente, cameriere di cui si notava una certa esperienza oltre che cortesia e professionalità. Consigliatissimo, se ripasseremo da Verona torneremo a cena qui.

Highly recommended, spectacular food and service

Excellent Veronese cuisine with attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The only "flaw" is the slightly "small" portions, but beyond that more than deserved 5-star rating... I will definitely be back.
