The canonical Veronese risotto, Vialone Nano rice toasted in butter. A 2026 TableJourney editor pick with address, hours and what to order inside the entry.

A relatively modern Veronese plate from the second half of the 20th century, the risotto pairs two regional IGP-DOC pillars: Vialone Nano Veronese rice (IGP since 1996) from the Isola della Scala plain south of the city and Amarone della Valpolicella, the dried-grape red from the hills to the north. The dish made the city's reference rice plate by the 1970s and is now on every Veronese trattoria menu, with a strict two-person minimum at the most traditional rooms.
