Verona nightspots – drinking and dancing

When in Verona…. Nightlife

Earlier this year (2008), the Guardian wrote a travel article about the city of Verona, after Venice the most beautiful and romantic city in the region of Veneto, in Northern Italy. Since I am sure the Guardian is much more venerable and knowledgeable than I am, I humbly follow their advice as to what are the most important Verona tourist attractions, restaurants and night life spots.  Night spots – drinking and dancing Dance clubs tend to be outside the center, where there is more parking space, but there are many bars and lounge-style places with deejays and/or live music. Below  a list of more and less trendy places to visit: Osteria Verona (Piazza dell Erbe) – for the local apertivo “spritz al aperol” Square – with a dance club in the basement Casa Mazzanti (Piazza delle Erbe) – sip an espresso on the ground floor of a grand Renaissance palace decorated with pastel frescoes. Bottega del Vino (Via Scudo di Francia 3; 00 39 045 800 4535) – one of Italy’s most extensive wine collections Sottoriva 23 (Sottoriva 23) – free buffet with early evening drinks Viaroma 33 (Via Roma 33) – lounge bar Cantina dell’Arena (Piazzetta Scalette Rubiani) – live jazz Studio 90 (Vicolo del Guasto 90) – bar and (downstairs) dance space Bloom Cafe (Piazza delle Erbe)

A lunch menu will generally set you back between 12 and 15 Euros, but it will be worth it since it will easily keep you going until dinner. Osteria del Duca – (Via Arche Scaligere 2; 00 39 045 594 474) – for a romantic meal next door to Romeo’s palazzo Osteria Vecchia Fontanina – (Piazzetta Chiavica 5; 00 39 045 595 159) Osteria al Carro Armato – (Vicolo Gatto 2; 00 39 045 803 0175) – locals and tourists fraternize around wooden communal tables Il Desco – (Via dietro di San Sebastiano 7; 00 39 045 595 358), two Michelin stars, seven-course tasting menu 125 Euros.
