Verona's lake-fish primer, poached pike from Lake Garda served in a briny sauce of olive oil, capers and anchovies atop grilled white polenta.

Luccio in salsa is the lake-cuisine variant of Veronese cooking, a recipe that travels from Lake Garda 30 km west of the city. The pike (luccio) is poached gently in court-bouillon, dressed with a Mediterranean-style olive-oil sauce of anchovies and capers, and served on grilled polenta. Osteria Caffe Monte Baldo on Via Rosa is the reference room.
