Nestled in the midst of our vineyards, the Locanda del Bugiardo stands with our Dimora del Bugiardo 300 m distance as our principal hospitality offering. Excellence in cooking, with a tremendous attention to quality will, we promise, leave you breathless.
The restaurant is in the middle of the vineyards. We had dinner outside on the terrace at dusk. Peace, quiet, beauty, luxurious atmosphere.We chose the 'degustazione' menu, 4 courses matched with 5 wines of the Buglioni Bugiardo estates. Each dish was excellent, refined, nicely mixing traditional cuisine with modern creativeness. And the food-wine match really made each other shine.Service was perfectly refined but not intrusive, staff friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to sample the region's wines, including Ripasso and Amarone, and treat yourself to a refined and romantic evening.

We returned to Alla Pieve for the first time in 3 or 4 months and it was immediately clear that things had changed. Almost everything has changed in fact - the staff, chef, decor and the style and sadly the quality of the food. While the service was very polite and welcoming I'm afraid that's really where the positiives end.The chef is clearly very young and inexperienced as the menu is extremely basic and limited. Not necessarily a bad thing if the quality is good but it really was not - we both had a carpaccio which was too thickly sliced and was drowned in a balsamic reduction. Then we each toook carbonara (tagliatelle for me and bigoli for my wife). A hard dish to get wrong but mine was possibly the worst carbonara I've ever had and incredbly my wife's was significantly worse. Other points - we were always made to feel very welcome to bring our dog inside or out and now dogs are no longer allowed inside (to be fair the waiter was good to bring water for him). The wine selection is (as you'd expect in the heart of Valpolicella) great...yet when I asked for a Volpolicella Superiore I wasn't given any options and was simply presented with one that was far from the best...only when I went inside to pay did I discover what I could have had. The bathroom has been redone and looks fantastic now - except for the large hole in the wall that looks right into the bar. One more thing - the prices...I used to say I would happily pay double what I was charged here...not so now, the prices are a good 10% higher per course and the wine had a significant markup. I really do not enjoy leaving negative criticism but I felt my previous review is now no longer relevant as everything we loved about Alla Pieve has changed. I really hope the chef either changes or improves dramatically as paying more for a meal than we ever did here previously for something that is utterly incomparable as regards quality, presentation, style and imagination is not something we will do again.

How very pleasing to find such a quality restaurant close by to your holiday villa!! We went here to eat two nights in a row!!! Staff are highly professional, friendly and helpful in relation to regional wine. The restaurant is part of the Vigna 800 wine making enterprise and offer a lovely range of their own and other wines. Dishes are very fresh, cleverly crafted based in tradition, generous and very tasty. We thought it all very good value and were pleased with all aspects of food, wine and service. Thank you Diego and team.

We were hoping for a nice mountain village place to eat, and I caught a glimpse as we passed by. I turned around and am glad we did. The food was excellent, the menu was interesting, good wine list. The service was super friendly. Try the moustardo.

Off the beaten track country house, hidden among the the hills around Verona. Lovely setting. The restaurant doesn't have many tables therefore an early booking is strongly recommended. It's a family run kitchen preparing a selection of mainly vegetarian dishes, which are served in the style of a generous set taster menu. The starters are enough to fill you in, so it's important to go easy at the beginning of the meal. The food is local and traditional, however the ingredients (pumpkin, home made pasta, pulses, polenta, barley, etc) are prepared & mixed in a modern way; there's also a touch of new and inventive flavours in each dish. The numerous homemade jams, served with a selection of cheeses, present new and interesting combinations of fruit, spices and liqueurs. The service is very friendly and welcoming, however, as the kitchen is run in a simple, family way and all the tables are served with the same range of food at the same time, it takes ages to go through all the dishes. You need to put aside at least 2 hours. The other downside is the noise. It's common to find large tables with lots of people feasting loudly with wine & food, so don't expect a tranquil environment. Very reasonable prices.Â

A small family-owned restaurant, with oparking just aside their premises, rustic and clean. Friendly service, good quality food, local cuisine with a personal touch.

Non un bar, non un ristorante..o un bar e ristorante...Boh...le classificazioni non ci piacciono, ci piace lâatmosfera, la bella gente, il bere bene e il mangiare bene...ci piace che non ci siano regole di stile, ci piace la ricerca...ci piace che la gent
We stayed in San Giorgio and this restaurant is just down the hill. We couldn't find a menu on line, so just went for it. It was different, no expected items, like pasta or rice. There were soups, salads, brushetta, sea food type things. While it was good, I think it could have been a bit larger selection. The person serving us was great (Sorry didn't catch his name), overall a good experience.

We stopped at Ai Torcoli for lunch while touring Valpolicella and its wineries. The restaurant has a wonderful view of the countryside. Our server was friendly and spoke some English. The food and wine were very enjoyable. It was a great place to stop and take a break from the winding roads.

While driving from wineries to wineries in the amazing Amarone region, we came across this little place that our friend Michelangelo had suggested (if you want to eat well in Italy, ask the locals). The love birds at the entrance did announce us in and we were seated in no time by the always courteous service man. We found the place to be quite lovely and the fact of encountering local tenants did tell me that we were in the right place. We did order as usual the local fare and again was not disappointed to try incredible rich and delightful tasting new plates, especially those not found anywhere else. We decided to ask for their advise regarding the wine and sure enough, the bottle was emptied before departing the place. We were very satisfied with food, service and ambiance, so definitely would like to be back again.

Probably this is a family-oriented restaurant, and this explains why there were so many kids screaming and running around like maniacs. I am not against children if they are well-mannered, but when it is too much it becomes annoying for the other guests trying to have dinner and trying to exchange a normal conversation. Food was overall good, a bit over-priced, but what ruined everything was the atmosphere. Not to try if you see kids running around...
