Gastronomy · Valpolicella · Negrar
The restaurants and trattorias we recommend to our guests - starting from those reachable on foot to destinations worth the journey.
Agriturismo Igino does not offer on-site dining, but Valpolicella is a land of trattorias and osterie with an authentic gastronomic tradition. Below are the places we recommend wholeheartedly - from wood-fired pizza to a memorable meat meal, with a good glass of Amarone always close at hand.
The closest to the agriturismo - less than a kilometre away, reachable even on foot. Family-run trattoria and pizzeria in the heart of Valpolicella, with local cuisine and pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven with natural leavening dough. Indoor tables and outdoor space, informal and welcoming atmosphere.
In the main square of Negrar, next to the village church - the rustic, family atmosphere you would expect from a true Veronese trattoria. Andrea prepares everything by hand: pasta is made fresh every day, dishes follow the season. Genuine atmosphere, honest prices, hard to find a table without booking at weekends.
A few minutes from the agriturismo, in the heart of Negrar near the parish church. A genuine place with the atmosphere of old-style trattorias: classic Veronese cuisine, generous portions, family management. Ideal for an unpretentious dinner - good food, good local wine and fair prices.
In Torbe, in the upper part of Valpolicella, with a view of the valley that alone makes the journey worthwhile. Classic Veronese cuisine without reinvention: handmade lasagnette, tagliatelle with ragù, seasonal main courses. The osteria has a long history and a loyal following - one of those places you always return to.
Historic pizzeria in Negrar open since 1979, with three indoor rooms and a summer terrace overlooking the Valpolicella vineyards. The pizza uses natural leavening with local zero-kilometre products - local cured meats and cheeses as star ingredients. Veneto cuisine alongside pizza, for those who want both options.
In Torbe di Negrar, with three spacious panoramic rooms and a terrace overlooking the Valpolicella valley. Traditional home-made Veronese cuisine - the tagliatelle with Amarone and the herb-roasted leg of pork are among the most appreciated dishes. The space and atmosphere are also ideal for groups and special occasions.
In Marano di Valpolicella, nestled among the vineyards in a local stone house - Locanda Badin is the right place for a special dinner. Carefully reinterpreted Veronese cuisine: beef tartare, grilled meat cuts, seasonal risottos. Portico with vineyard views, attentive service, well-selected wine list. Booking recommended.
For smaller restaurants (Dalla Bice, Locanda Badin, Trattoria da Andrea) booking is recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings and in high season. Enrico and Francesca are happy to help you choose the right place for your evening.
