Ristorante Il Desco

Spectacular culinary experience! From the moment you walk in, they greet you with a warm, welcoming smile. The restaurant setting is elegant and rich in culture. Each dish is a pleasure for the taste buds. This was a great choice, and we will surely be back.

We loved the food, everything was amazing, also the service.We had a very nice waiter, who knew his way with wines and tasting.Nice manners also.Compliments to the chef and the staff, who really know their job. The table was not very comfortable, as it had a middle block foot and i could not stretch my legs especially as a woman wearing high heels, so i had to sit sideways all the time.Also, it was a little chill inside, but i noticed that's how it is everywhere, in every restaurant.If you wear sweater and winter boots, you're safe.But if you wear a dress with high heels be ready to shiver.
The prices are actually cheap.We payed for 2 people around 500 euro 2 menus, a bottle of white wine, 2 grappas and a bottle of still water.In Romania, the same type of food but without the Michelin star, exceeds 500 euro for 2 people.Overall, if you like this type of food, you will love this restaurant.
100% recommend it!

Lovely Veroneses ristorante. Modern, michelin, tasteful, delicious. We loved the service and the food. Would go back again and again.

Amazing experience. I've had the best salmon of my life.
True family-run restaurant with sophisticated but yet not pretentious food. Pre-opera menu serves its purpose perfectly.

Beautiful intimate restaurant with exceptional fine dining. Service is to the expected Michelin quality, polite and unobtrusive. The dishes are an art, individually selected plates beautifully presented and with exquisite matching of flavours and textures. An a la carte 3,4 or 5 course menu are matched by similar tasting menus reflecting the restaurant's history. The wine list is expansive but the sommelier expertly guides you through to enhance your personal experience to your budget. A lovely experience on every level.

Simply fantastic. We had the tasting menu and it was all superb. Lovely wine, impeccable service, will definitely go back next time I'm in Verona.

If you’re visiting Verona, and want to taste delicious ceviches, smoked salmon that’s served with literal smoke, sourdough bread to die for, and a duck breast that’ll make you dream of it, then this is the place to go for!
The food is incredible, and like most Michelin starred restaurants they take account of any allergies you have.
The lovely staff, combined with a pleasant and quaint atmosphere makes this restaurant worth the visit! Highly recommended, and thank you for the amazing dinner!

Truly magnificent experience. From dish to dish, wine selection, aperitivos, and - most of all - chef and the entire team and their exceptional hospitality- this was a wonderful and delicious evening out. Cannot wait to return! Also, there were so many vegetarian options! They called in advance to ensure that proper care was taken for all dietary restrictions, which showed they go the extra mile with their guests. A fantastic place.

Stunning experience. From the minute you enter the location, you are embraced by very friendly and attentive service. Food is above all expectations, I highly recommend to get a wine pairing - I promise you won’t regret it. We had tickets to Arena on the same evening, and the crew did everything to ensure we have a great evening and leave on time for the show. Can’t wait to be back and come here again without any hurry - because the place is absolutely worth to be the show on its own!

Absolutely stunning menu. Every dish is very well made and delicious, service is very accurate too and the atmosphere is nice. Definitely recommended if you want a special experience

A gift to my husband. We loved it. Food is fantastic and the staff are very very friendly. We deffinetly recommend and we will return!

What an absolutely remarkable experience! Our wedding reception in the private room was nothing short of perfection. Antonio's service was truly exceptional; he not only expertly handled allergies and food preferences but also showcased an unmatched knowledge of wines. The nine-course tasting menu was a culinary masterpiece, with every dish being sheer perfection. Even when we dined at Osteria Francescana later in the week, it paled in comparison to the culinary delight we experienced at Ristorante Il Desco. Without a doubt, we're eagerly anticipating our return, and we should make that reservation right away to ensure we don't miss out on this exceptional dining experience again.

O the desco. We had such a fantastic night here, the food and service were very special. This was our first time to a Michelin star restaurant and it did not disappoint. Very creative food and we left just the right amount full. Waiters are very helpful with the wine list. We loved it.

It’s in the center of Verona with restricted traffic, I use to park in the parking house in piazza isolo and walk over the bridge in case I don’t find any free parking.
Food is really excellent, we had a 7+course menu and every dish was a real treat in appearance, fragrance, textures and flavors, just Wonderful! Service is good, very professional in a comfortable and not to stiff way. They are very interactive if required and t’s a pleasure to listen and ask about the food and wine served and they’ll take their time to explain it to you.
The ambient is also very nice, warm and cozy and 5 hours just slipped away like nothing.
Sincerely I could recommend every single dish I had, Al excellent but if I had to choose 2 I would warmly recommend the foie gras Bon Bon that just melts in your mouth revealing an explosion of delicate flavors, such a firework of taste, I never have enough of them!
And the sour prune sorbet with shiso and coconut foam/Cream that so much reminded me of the traditional Japanese sour prune bon bons, in a reviewed, enriched and brought to art, way.
A dinner at desco is absolutely an experience to repeat once in a while 👏🏻

First and foremost, I feel sorry for the restaurant for having to put up with whoever has been posting a flurry of 1* reviews from fake accounts in the last few days. Don't pay attention to these, they're irrelevant.

The service was very efficient yet laid back and smiling. The dishes were overall well executed, particular mention to the Salmon/Capers/Coffee first course which was delicious.

The wine selection was great with a particular focus on regional producers. The prices were also very correct with several bottles starting in the EUR 40-50 range, rarely the case for a Michelin starred establishment.

Well worth a visit if you are in the area!

Superb - friendly and attentive service and beautiful carefully prepared food.

My favorite restaurant in Italy !
Professional staff, beautiful interior, amazing food , excellent quality/price!
Personal attitude towards every client .
We have found incredible local wines there thanks to recommendation of sommelier.
It was a real discovery.
Spaghetti , risotto , lobster antipasto to die for!!
We don’t live in Verona , but twice a year we come there just to have this incredible experience of perfection in everything !
Thank You sooo much ❤

Amazing restaurant. Had lunch here and enjoyed everything from the beginning to the end. The food was excellent and so were the wines. Service was impeccable and the dining room elegant and comfortable. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Verona.

Wonderful evening with fantastic food.

Delicious and varied tasting menu with a very reasonably priced wine pairing (including some wonderful Amarone!). Such a pleasure to eat here. Service was excellent and the ambience was also great.
