We came across this gem of a restaurant while cruising along the road in the evening for fun after…read morevisiting the Basilica di Monte Berico. Great parking lot on the backside of the birreria. The interior boasts plenty of wooden tables and excellent interior design, spacious and looks like it can accommodate large groups with ease. We didn't have a reservation, but there were tables available on the covered patio. There is also open air seating, and it was a perfect night for dining while watching the sun disappear as we enjoyed our cuisine. A litre of excellent vino rosso cost us €6,50, and was a perfect accompaniament to our bruschetta with salmon (€5,80). My Penne All'Arrabbiata came in also at €6,50 and was a perfect balance of flavors and spice. The wife loved her Bigoli al Ragu, also €6,50. Our daughter enjoyed her Gnocchi with a creamy sauce (€6,50!!!), but I would recommend everyone sharing it as an appetizer as the cream sauce thickens as it cools, and she was pretty much full by that point. Our son went with the Pizza Viennese, which he liked - a large pizza for only €5,80 Cover charge (Coperto) is €1 per person, so add the €2 for water and our total bill came to €43,60 for a chance visit to a most excellent restaurant. There is free Wi-Fi with a password you get from the staff, but it didn't seem to properly connect. There are a ton of pizzas to choose from as well as a slew of beers and other beverages. I noticed a lot of the Italians ordering the Aperol and Campari Spritzers, so we may try that next time on another "bella notte" as we will definitely be returning. See you there!

Give yourself a little extra time because you will definitely want to stop a Monte Berico and enjoy the view and take in the city from above. As for this wonderful dining facility.... They have lots of seating and plenty of large butcher block style tables. Great for large groups. We sat outside and enjoyed the atmosphere along with a fun screen playing 80's MTV videos. It's a little NQR(Not Quite Right), but that was the joy of it. It wasn't loud and didn't take away from the beauty of the restaurant and overall experience. My meal was so tasty. I had the spaghetti carbanara, and my son enjoyed the pizza marinara. The gnocchi was very rich and should be shared. Four or five pieces and you might feel full. They were fabulous, but just too rich to have as an entire meal. This will be a must for any guests coming to visit us.

They do have some classic appetizers, but I suggest saving room for pizza! I always get the Inferno because I like spicy dishes, and it has some good meat on there. I always leave a clean plate. Even though I eat the entire pizza, I never feel bad about it afterwards. The house wine is delicious and pairs well with the pizza eating experience!

FOOD: I had a lot of excellent dishes, but the ones that stand out the most were: - Bigoli con l'arna - thick homemade spaghetti with duck liver sauce - Plate of mixed cold cuts and cheeses - amazing assortment, freshly cut - "Marco Polo" - perfect assortment of ingredients on a expertly cured pizza - Pasticcio di melanzane - Eggplant lasagna (a rare (not on the menu) specialty) ATMOSPHERE: Very open and inviting foyer/bar area. Lots of room for dining with families and larger social gatherings. Eating in their rustic outback area is a treat especially in the summer time (yes they have A/C).
