Antica Bottega del Vino

Top choice in Verona


While vino is the primary consideration at this historic, baronial-style wine bar (the cellar holds around 18,000 bottles), the linen-lined tables promise a satisfying feed. Ask the sommelier to recommend a worthy vintage to go with your braised donkey, Vicenza-style codfish or Venetian liver – some of the best wines here are bottled specifically for the bottega.
