While it follows the form of apertivo, primi, segundi, dolci, this is not traditional Italian cuisine but what I've seen termed as "Italian contemporary cuisine." That means world class, innovative food. And we loved it. Simone Ferrigno, the manager, greeted us when we arrived and seated us at an elegantly laid out table. We ordered wine and our food, and the show began with beautiful dish after beautiful dish. And fabulous wines. We chatted with the German couple at the next table who had ordered the vegan tasting menu and they were in heaven. Alas I cannot for the life of me find the receipt with the names of the dishes we ordered. If I find it, I'll update my review. I'll just say this, exquisite food, world-class service in a beautiful ambience. After we had paid our bill (thank goodness the dollar is up relative to the Euro) and we started walking away, Simone ran after us to ask how our experience was and to thank us for our patronage. Note: A reservation is essential at L'Evangelista. I just noticed that Yelp has two Euro symbols to indicate the price is moderate. I'd actually give it four Euro symbols. L'Evangelista is not for you if you're on a tight a budget.

After spending 12 days in Italy, I can confidently say that our meal at La Taverna di via Stella…read morewas one of my absolute favorites. A quick note on getting a reservation--we had trouble making reservations since we could not call as we did not have service. We were able to squeeze into the beginning of the lunch service after being turned away the night before due to a full house, but I would recommend making in-person reservations a day or two ahead to make sure you get the chance to eat here. This restaurant is the perfect little Italian restaurant with an inviting and simultaneously impressive atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly and spoke great English, providing wine and food recommendations. Since I was not able to narrow down the options to just a single dish, my friend and I shared the donkey pasta and the Amarone risotto. Both dishes were absolutely incredible. Anybody visiting Verona must try to the risotto since Amarone is the big wine from the region--though it was quite rich, it was the best risotto I have ever had. I was really excited to try donkey for the first time and the pasta did not disappoint, it was cooked perfectly and the flavors were incredibly tasty. All of the prices were very fair; in fact, they were actually on the cheaper side of what we encountered in Italy. I cannot recommend La Taverna di via Stella enough--if you find yourself in Verona, you must give this restaurant a try!!

Yum!!! Tucked away in an alley we found a delicious lunch!…read moreThe service was fast, friendly and we were seated quickly which was surprising due to it being lunchtime. I had the truffle gnocchi which was unlike any gnocchi I've ever tasted. The texture was unlike gnocchi in America so at first I was surprised, but I kept eating and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was wonderful and although the portion seemed small, it was more than enough. We also happened to be there while a men's choir was eating lunch so we had a front row seat for many songs being sung during our lunch! Truly a wonderful Italian experience!

Oh my, where do I start with this place! The only good…read morething from this night was the amarone risotto. Made with local amorone wine, The risotto was cooked to the proper level and it had good flavor. That was literally the only good thing about this meal. We ordered the house red which was warm and terrible. For the love of God, keep your red wines at the proper chilled temperature. The lady ordered the lasagna. It was probably the worst dish we had in Italy. It came out lukewarm, the pasta was mushy as it had been overcooked, and it just lacked proper flavor. The worst part is after we paid the bill and we're walking back to the hotel, the lasagna struck again and the lady had to double time it back to the hotel and the toilet. Terrible food poisoning. This is off the list.

However, we experienced a couple of disappointments. My husband and I had the zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and a local cheese to start. They were quite greasy and TBH, I make better ones at home. For my main, I had another special, the pappardelle with fresh mushrooms. It was Fairly good. My husband had some stuffed crepes that looked a lot like blintzes. He loved them. The hostess who served us, the waitress, and the waiter who served us drinks were all attentive and professional. However, the waiter who brought us our dishes was not. He was brusque and after we had just ordered a cappuccino, we sneezed on his hands without wearing a mask (he was the only worker in the restaurant not wearing one) and didn't wash them. We canceled the cappuccino and he seemed surprised. We tried to explain why to the hostess and she didn't want to hear it. A very mixed experience.

Just what I was expecting in Italy!…read more Liked the space. The kitchen was literally right up front when you walked in. We were lucky to get a seat on a Wednesday night in early October around 8:15. After us, it was all reservations and no walk-ins. They had an English menu and fully bilingual staff, which made everything easier. Very gluten-free friendly, to the point of bringing of GF roll without asking. It was nice and crusty. Explored the wines of the region; loved the Santa Sofia, Valpolicella Ripasso. Nice, smooth, with a good blend of fruit and acid. Started with the steak tartare; split between two plates, with one including the glutenous cracker - appreciated that. Also appreciated that the seasonings for the tartar (pesto, mustard) were on the side and could add as wanted. Pesto was a great topping - never thought of that. Next was the pumpkin risotto. Somewhat surprisingly, it was not cooked as long as we would typically do it back in the states. It was just shy of crunchy - it would stick to your teeth. The pumpkin cream sauce was nice, but a little bland. Could have used sage, salt and pepper at a minimum, and maybe some fennel. The mains included beef cheek, which for us was essentially a pot roast type of dish. The meat was rich and succulent and fell apart at the touch. It came with celeriac foam and celeriac fried strips. The strips were a really interesting textural complement, but the foam, not so much. The other was pork shank, that was cut into three large pieces with a crispy, sweet fried skin, with tender pork underneath, that melted in your mouth. It came with sauteed shredded cabbage. The beef cheeks came with very hot, potato cubes/small wedges. They were well cooked but bland - needed at minimum salt and pepper. The pork came with a side of vegetables - mushrooms, zucchini, carrots - that was in a rich thyme and butter sauce. The aqua frizzante, was also very tasty.
