Opus Magnificat
Welcome to the heart of Verona
The voices of the six restaurants come together in a single orchestra.
Al Centro Verona And He saw that it was good
Six restaurants, six characters, one family. From the milestone of the Punto Rosa to the courtyard of La Piazzetta, from the vineyards of La Vecchia Rama to the square of Il Mastino, from the hospitality of the Locanda to the light of L'Angolo di Cavour: Al Centro Verona brings them together in a single work, where the history of the Veneti and the Scaligeri is told at the table.
Through which door will you enter the history of Verona?

In principio
In the beginning there was a square, and around the square a city. Two thousand years later, Verona still meets at the table.
Lapis • Forum • Radix • Memoria • Hospitium • Lux
In the story of creation, at the end of each day “He saw that it was good”. That is how our restaurants were born: one at a time, each with its own stone, its own story and its own music. On the seventh day we look at them together, and that union is called Al Centro Verona.
Dies I·Lapis
The milestone of Verona
In Via Fratta, between the Arena and Castelvecchio, a true hosteria in the heart of the historic centre, recognised by the Accademia Italiana della Cucina: typical Veronese cooking served as if at home, among old walls and new smiles.
Domus There are corners of Verona that feel like home.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
Dies II·Forum
The hidden courtyard in the heart of Verona
In Corte San Giovanni in Foro, on the line of the ancient Via Postumia and a few steps from the Roman forum: an osteria and wine bar tucked away between Corso Porta Borsari and Piazza delle Erbe, with more than a hundred labels under the brick vaults.
Forum Two thousand years ago, a few steps from here, stood the forum: the place where Verona met.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
Dies III·Radix
Where Valpolicella puts down roots
In San Peretto, on the hills of Negrar, where Amarone was born in 1936: an osteria with wood-fired pizza, grilled meats and a veranda overlooking the vine rows of Valpolicella Classica, about twenty minutes from Verona.
Radix There are places where you feel at home before you even arrive.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
Dies IV·Memoria
In the heart of the Scaliger city
In 1262 Mastino I della Scala began the rule of the Scaligeri; today his name lights up Piazza delle Erbe. At number 24, facing the Madonna Verona fountain: Veronese cuisine, pizzas, great wines and cocktails.
Fides The mastiff is the faithful guardian of the house. Here, it watches over your evening.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
Dies V·Hospitium
Guests of the Scaligeri
More than seven centuries ago the Scaligeri welcomed Dante to their court. A stone's throw from the Arena, in Via Marcantonio Bentegodi, the Locanda carries on that hospitality: grilled meats, Veronese cuisine, wines and good cheer, from morning until late at night.
Hospes In Latin, “hospes” means both guest and host. Here they are the same thing.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
Dies VI·Lux
Verona's living corner
In Via Roma, at the corner of the walls of Castelvecchio, the castle Cangrande II had built in 1354: hosteria, wine bar, lounge bar and pizza, from breakfast in the sun on the terrace to the cocktails of the Serate Cantate.
Lux The sun brushes the walls of Castelvecchio and comes to sit at your table.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
Dies VII·Magnificat
On the seventh day no new restaurant is born: the union is born. Like the points of the compass rose in our emblem, each restaurant points to a direction of Verona; at the centre lies the whole city, with its history and its table.
Et vidit quod esset bonum
“And He saw that it was good.”
Vidit quod esset bonum
Every evening, when the lights of Castelvecchio are mirrored in the Adige, Verona says it again: it is good.
In Verona beauty is not only seen: it is heard, breathed, tasted, touched. Six doors into the work.
Visus
Pink marble at dawn, the gold of Castelvecchio in the evening, the Adige mirroring the towers: Verona is a painting that changes every hour.
Auditus
One theme, the Verona theme, passes from voice to voice: the hang and the harp, the piano and the violin, the cello and the guitar, the clarinet, the tenor saxophone. Then the organ and the orchestra unite them all.
Olfactus
The scent of pastissada simmering slowly, of the wood-fired oven, of freshly sliced bread: at the table, memory arrives before the dish.
Gustus
Bigoli with duck ragù, Amarone risotto, tortelli filled with braised beef, boiled meats with pearà: Veronese cuisine, recipe after recipe.
Tactus
The stone of the Arena, smoothed by two thousand years of hands; the wood of the tables, the red marble of the counters: Verona can be touched.
Materia
Grapes dried on racks, oak barrels, the soil of Valpolicella: the matter the great wines of Verona are made of, from Valpolicella to Amarone.
Since 2000 the city of Verona has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our restaurants are right there, among its stones: the Arena, Piazza delle Erbe, Juliet's balcony, Castelvecchio and the bridges over the Adige are all a few minutes' walk away.
The great Roman amphitheatre of the first century, built decades before the Colosseum. The earthquake of 1117 is thought to have brought down almost all of its outer ring, of which the “Ala” remains; since 1913, every summer, it has been the stage for opera under the stars.

It was the forum of Roman Verona, and it is still its heart: the Madonna Verona fountain, the Lamberti Tower, the Casa dei Mercanti, the frescoed palaces and the daily market.
The nearest restaurants: Il Mastino Bistrot · La Piazzetta
In Via Cappello, the most famous courtyard and balcony in the world: the medieval house that tradition links to Shakespeare's Juliet, visited by lovers from every continent.
The nearest restaurants: Il Mastino Bistrot · La Piazzetta

The nearest restaurants: L'Angolo di Cavour · Hosteria il Punto Rosa
Verona's oldest bridge, dating from Roman times, at the foot of the hill of San Pietro. Blown up in 1945, it was rebuilt with its own stones, recovered from the Adige.
The nearest restaurants: Il Mastino Bistrot · La Piazzetta
The bridge of Castelvecchio, built by the Scaligeri as the castle's escape route across the Adige. Destroyed in 1945, it was reborn as it was, brick by brick.

Verona has been a city of encounters for two thousand years: Romans and Goths passed through, the Scaligeri ruled, Venice governed. Our six restaurants live within this history, a few steps from its stones.

From the Arena to Piazza delle Erbe, from Castelvecchio to the hills of Negrar: six restaurants, six characters and a single idea of hospitality. They are the restaurants of the Trentin family, open every day, from the first coffee of the morning to the last glass of the night.
Ad aeterna mundi
Some stories Verona never lets end. We wrote this one to last.
Al Centro Verona and the websites of the six restaurants are published on the Internet Computer, a blockchain designed to host websites and applications directly on the network. Three acronyms explain how.
IC
The pages are served by canisters, programs that live on the blockchain and run on a network of independent data centres around the world: the website does not depend on any single server.
NNS
The network is governed by the Network Nervous System, a fully on-chain DAO: anyone who stakes their ICP creates “neurons” and votes on proposals, which, once approved, are executed automatically.
ID.AI
To manage the website you sign in with Internet Identity, now ID.AI: no passwords to steal, only your own device's passkeys, with your face, fingerprint or PIN.
Verona's beauty has lasted two thousand years: its story deserves to last too.

Answers to the questions Verona's guests ask us most often.
There are six, all run by the Trentin family: Hosteria il Punto Rosa, at Via Fratta 12/A; La Piazzetta, at Corte San Giovanni in Foro 4/A; Il Mastino Bistrot, at Piazza Erbe 24; Locanda degli Scaligeri, at Via Marcantonio Bentegodi 7; L'Angolo di Cavour, at Via Roma 34, in front of Castelvecchio; and La Vecchia Rama, at Via Tomenighe di Sotto 6, in Negrar di Valpolicella.
A few minutes' walk from the Arena you will find Locanda degli Scaligeri, in Via Marcantonio Bentegodi, Hosteria il Punto Rosa, in Via Fratta, and L'Angolo di Cavour, in Via Roma, in front of Castelvecchio. They are open every day, until late in the evening.
Il Mastino Bistrot is at Piazza Erbe 24, with its tables facing the Madonna Verona fountain. La Piazzetta is just a few steps away, in the quiet Corte San Giovanni in Foro, between Corso Porta Borsari and the square.
The dishes of the Veronese tradition appear again and again on our menus: Amarone risotto, bigoli with duck ragù, pastissada de caval with polenta, boiled meats with pearà. Each restaurant has its own menu, which you can browse online on its website.
L'Angolo di Cavour opens at 8:30 am, Il Mastino and La Piazzetta at 9, Locanda degli Scaligeri at 10. In the evening Il Mastino stays open until 2 am; the Locanda, L'Angolo di Cavour and La Piazzetta until 1 am; Punto Rosa until 12:30 am.

La Vecchia Rama is in San Peretto, in Negrar di Valpolicella, about twelve kilometres from the centre of Verona: some twenty minutes by car. There is a large car park next to the restaurant.
L'Angolo di Cavour hosts the Serate Cantate, with live music, karaoke and themed evenings; at La Vecchia Rama, on some evenings, you can dine to live music. For the dates, it is best to ask the restaurant.
Each restaurant has its own online booking and its own phone number: choose “Book”, then the restaurant, and complete your request on its official booking system. You can also book by calling the restaurant directly.
