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.

But ask a local person where to find Naneti's, and they will know, for this is Treviso's most famous Osteria. Here local delicacies abound on the shelves and counter. You can savour local wines along with the traditional local cicheti snacks, featuring bologna ham, fresh country sausage and ossocollo and selections of cold cuts and cheeses served on wooden cutting boards. Beppe and Fabio, the joint owners, immediately make everyone feel at home. They'll hand you morsels to taste and try if you're not sure what you want. The decor is hard to describe. No-one seems to know how old is Naneti's, but it houses some weird and wonderful food- and wine-related implements, a collection of ancient bottles, and the walls are pinned with newspaper cuttings and notices dating back to the 19th Century. The wines are arranged within reach around the walls. Just pick one and hand it over the counter to be opened. There's no seating - everyone just stands and talks - and the crowds overflow into the alleyway outside. You cannot fail to make friends here - I met Max, my closest Italian pal, here over a glass or two of Cabernet Franc. Customers drop in after work to buy produce and wine that will be their evening supper. They usually linger for a chat with friends. Go there!

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.

Grab a seat or just stand by one of the barrels at the front entrance. Open till late.

This was probably one of the best lunches I had in my entire Italy trip and also one of the cheapest. I finished it off with a tiramisu and an espresso. My favourite part of not only the restaurant but Parma is the lack of tourists. I was the only none Italian in the restaurant and there were practically no tourists in the city. A very welcome change from more touristic areas like Venice and Florence.
