There are excellent wines by the glass and little plates of tapas (vegetables breaded with capers, potato and egg torta etc.) that could make a light meal. The gentleman behind the bar (the owner?) was welcoming and knowledgeable and happy to explain the local wines to us in English (we speak very little Italian). Highly recommended.

Intro: On our first full day in Verona, we were looking for a lunch spot before our reservation at…read moreJuliet's House. Osteria del Bugiardo was located in a good area so we made our way over to this wine bar. Service (2.5/5): Confusing system. There was a wait for a table but no hostess outside. We eventually talked to someone and she said that while there's no list, she will remember our faces and let us know when a table is ready. Not the most efficient system but we waited about 10 minutes to be seated at the bar. Our waiter took care of us pretty well after we got in. Ambiance (3.5/5): Your typical wine bar. Nice ambiance. The only downside for me is that seating at the bar consisted of bar stools. Without back support. Which I have always hated and which hurts my back. It's also pretty tight in there when they're at capacity. Drinks (4/5): Since this is a wine bar, you know what to order. We had glasses of rose. Not the heaviest pour but the price was solid. If you're not looking for wine, they also have things like Aperol Spritz. Food (4/5): You won't find hearty fare here but you will be able to munch on a lot of small plates. I'm talking things like mini sandwiches, croquettes, meatballs, salads, etc. Which is exactly what we did. We shared a couple of tapas between the two of us. It was filling and did the job. I wasn't stuffed but it was good and on the healthier side. Overall: Osteria del Bugiardo is one of the most popular restaurants on Yelp in Verona and it's located in the heart of the city.

WARNING: Unsafe, Aggressive Owner - Do Not Go Here…read more I feel obligated to share a serious warning about Del Vecchio Fossato in Sirmione after a disturbing and violent experience with the man who claimed to be the owner. My cousin and I were initially confused by the layout, as there is another restaurant directly across from Del Vecchio Fossato. The two patios appear connected, and many tables were visibly open. When my cousin asked the server if we could sit outside, he told her there would be an hour wait. When she asked about sitting inside (thinking the other patio belonged to the same place), he simply said, "we're not serving inside," rather than clearly explaining that the other restaurant had nothing to do with them. When I arrived just five minutes later and spoke to the same server, he suddenly told me there was no wait at all, despite the empty tables being there earlier. When I politely questioned why he hadn't explained the patio belonged to another restaurant, he turned his back and marched away rudely without a word. But what happened next was genuinely frightening. While I was retrieving our stroller from the public pedestrian street between the two restaurants, I was approached by the owner of Del Vecchio Fossato. He began shouting, cursing, and aggressively ordering me to leave the public space. I told him I had a right to be there and that he had no authority to threaten me. At that point, he started swinging a glass bottle of wine at my face, behaving in an erratic and threatening manner. Fearing for my safety, I pulled out my phone to record -- and as shown in the video I uploaded -- he struck my hand and violently knocked my phone to the ground. This was not a misunderstanding or heated argument -- it was physical aggression from a man who clearly lacks control or regard for others. And it didn't stop there. While we were finally seated (safely) at the completely separate and polite restaurant across from them, the same man returned, came up in front of our table, and gave me the middle finger repeatedly, continuing to intimidate and harass us. This man is not safe, and he should not be operating a business that interacts with the public. His behavior was hostile, physically violent, and absolutely unacceptable by any standard -- especially in a tourist destination where people come to enjoy themselves. There are many other wonderful, respectful restaurants in Sirmione. Del Vecchio Fossato is not one of them. I urge all visitors -- for your safety, your dignity, and your peace of mind -- to stay far away from this establishment.
