The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Olivieri 1882

Rank 2. Damini Macelleria & Affini
Steakhouse
You walk in through a butcher shop, past cured meats and niche pantry goods worth lingering over, before finding the dining room tucked behind it all. At this Michelin-starred restaurant, meat is the main event, sourced regionally and from further afield, with a menu that moves between classic preparations and more inventive ideas. Wine bottles line the walls, and the cellar behind them is serious business.
-
Rank 3. La Favellina
Contemporary Italian
The winding drive up into the Lessini hills is part of the deal at this family-run, Michelin-starred restaurant tucked into the Veneto countryside. A mother handles the pasta from the kitchen while her sons run the rest of the show, front and back, which gives the whole evening a warmth that's hard to manufacture. The cooking ranges widely across Italian ingredients with the occasional unexpected pairing thrown in for good measure.
-
A steep, winding road leads to this family-run restaurant in the Veneto hills, which holds a Michelin star and has been in the same hands for generations. The dining room has a fireplace and the kind of unhurried warmth that makes you forget you need to get home. The kitchen leans into the region hard, particularly in winter when game and mushrooms take over the menu. The wine list runs deep into organic and biodynamic bottles.
-
Rank 5. La Peca
Modern Italian
A wine cellar running to around two thousand labels gives you some idea of the ambitions here. La Peca is a two Michelin star fine dining restaurant in the Veneto countryside where the Portinari family has been cooking for generations. The menu is broad enough to feel generous rather than edited, and three tasting menus exist for anyone who'd rather be led. The cooking is technical without announcing itself, which is a harder trick than it sounds.
-
Rank 6. I Tigli
Pizza
Wholemeal flours and a long natural ferment give the dough at this San Bonifacio pizzeria a crust that shatters before giving way to something pillowy inside. The chef has been refining that balance for what feels like forever, and the toppings stretch well past margherita into fish and seasonal vegetables. It's the kind of pizza that makes you wonder why anyone settled for less, without quite saying so out loud.

The chef's table here sits inside the open kitchen, five intimate tables amid the cooks, which tells you the temperature of the whole place. Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli is a grand, color-rich fine dining room in the center of Verona, running three tasting menus alongside à la carte, and holding three Michelin stars. The setting leans historic and theatrical, the cooking leans the opposite direction.
-
A handful of tables face an open kitchen in a room stripped of all distraction, which tells you exactly where to look. This is a Michelin-starred creative tasting menu restaurant in a small Veneto town, the kind of place where the chef's curiosity sets the itinerary. First-timers get a ten-course introduction; regulars eventually work up to sixteen. À la carte exists, but choosing it here feels a little like buying the postcard instead of taking the trip.
-
Tucked into a nature reserve outside Verona, this two-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant sits beside an organic kitchen garden that feeds directly into the cooking. The interiors feel like a very elegant living room, all wood and soft light, and chef Francesco Sodano runs three blind menus, including one rooted in his Campanian heritage and one built entirely around the kitchen garden's harvest. You pick the journey; the dishes arrive as a surprise.
-
A winding mountain road leads to a converted hay barn with four tables, a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the valley, and a Michelin star. The entrance runs through the old stables, which sets the tone nicely. This is a small, intimate creative restaurant where the chef draws on regional Veneto flavors with evident personal investment. Leave early; the uphill road does not reward impatience.
-
Rank 11. Il Desco
Contemporary Italian
Murano glass chandeliers hang over hand-painted ceiling beams in a fifteenth-century palazzo that has been feeding Verona well for decades. Il Desco is a Michelin-starred fine dining room where the leather armchairs are deep enough to commit to, and the sommelier steers a wine list serious enough to warrant the attention. Tasting menus or a focused à la carte keep things orderly; either way, the room does a lot of the convincing before the food arrives.
-
Rank 12. Iris Ristorante
Contemporary Italian
Dinner begins in the fifteenth-century cellars of a palazzo in Verona's old town, where an amuse-bouche arrives before you climb to a frescoed, stone-and-brick dining room with an open kitchen at the far end. This is a Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant where the chef runs several tasting menus built around creative, market-driven Italian cooking that moves between sea and land. The kind of room that makes you sit up slightly straighter without quite meaning to.
-
Rank 13. Le Calandrе
Creative, Contemporary
You pull off a commercial road outside Padua expecting nothing, then walk into a dining room so quietly lit it takes a moment to realize it's still afternoon. Le Calandre is a three-Michelin-star restaurant run by the Alajmo brothers, who designed the space and most of the porcelain on the table. The menu lets you mix tasting courses freely, which feels generous at this level. One dish wraps eggshell into pasta dough for an audible crunch. It also holds a spot on the World's 50 Best list.

Rank 14. Trattoria da Zamboni
Contemporary Italian
-
-
Rank 16. Molin Vecio
Venetian
-
-
The wine list runs to over 1,500 labels, which feels appropriate for a Michelin-starred restaurant where the art on the walls costs more than most people's cars. Amistà sits inside the Byblos Art Hotel, and the kitchen leans into the surroundings, pairing contemporary technique with traditional Veneto recipes across two tasting menus, or à la carte if commitment feels like a lot.
-
Vineyards press right up to the terrace at this contemporary restaurant in the Veneto hills, where a young couple left city life to restore the family home and cook out of it. The menu is short and rotates often, built around bold, playful combinations you won't easily forget. Five guestrooms sit upstairs for anyone who finds the drive home a less appealing prospect than another glass of local wine.
-
Rank 20. Villa De Winckels
Venetian
-
Rank 21. Gustificio
Italian Contemporary Barbecue
The smell of baked pastry hits you at the door, but the charcoal grill is what this place is about. It's a lively trattoria-style restaurant in a small Veneto town where prime cuts are the main event, cooked over embers with obvious conviction. The menu nods to season and tradition while slipping in the occasional contemporary detour, and Wednesdays bring a short run of gourmet pizzas that feels less like a gimmick than it sounds.
-
Rank 22. 13 Comuni
Regional Italian
-
Rank 23. Antica Osteria da Penacio
Venetian
-
Rank 24. Palmerino - Il Bacalà a Sandrigo
Venetian Seafood
Sandrigo is the town that gave the world the bacalà alla vicentina festival, so it makes sense that a restaurant here has built its entire identity around cod. Palmerino serves the fish plain, salted, and dried, with the house centerpiece being that same local classic, made with stoccafisso despite what the name implies. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, the menu adds other seafood and a few meat dishes for the unconvinced.
-
Rank 25. Osteria Mondo d'Oro
Seasonal Italian
Giancarlo Perbellini, the chef behind one of Verona's grand tasting-menu temples, runs this osteria as a kind of antidote to his own reputation. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the point is exactly that: seasonal Italian classics, a good run of wines by the glass, and prices that don't require a second mortgage. A terrace tucked down a side street off Via Mazzini makes it easy to linger longer than planned.
-
-
-
The road up to La Tana Gourmet is all hairpin bends through the Asiago plateau, which sets the tone for a tasting menu that doesn't go where you expect either. This is a one-star Michelin dining room with no à la carte, no salt, no sugar, and no small talk: the chef comes to your table and walks you through every dish personally. The drinks pairings are as unconventional as the food, which is saying something.
-
Rank 29. Trattoria alla Ruota
Modern Italian
Tortelli stuffed with Amarone-braised meat is a reasonable argument for making the drive into the Valpolicella hills. This is a cozy trattoria with a fireplace, a veranda, and a terrace for warmer evenings, the kind of room that makes it easy to stay for an extra glass. The wine list leans deep into Verona, with a generous pour-by-the-glass selection. The Michelin Guide has given it a Bib Gourmand, which tells you the cooking punches above the price.
-
Rank 30. La Collina dei Ciliegi
Modern Mediterranean
Two chefs, one from Calabria and one from Puglia, run the kitchen at this contemporary restaurant on a working wine estate in the Valpantena hills. Their menu pulls ingredients from the south and the land around them, including mutton raised on site and housemade spaghetti with 'nduja and smoked ricotta. The wine list leans local, with Veneto labels alongside a handful of French bottles.
-
-
Rank 32. Locanda dell'Arcimboldo
Seafood
-
A dining room lined with books, paintings, and wine bottles so dense it reads more like a private library than a restaurant. This old-school Veronese spot has been in the same family forever, and it shows: you pass through the bar first, then settle in for a menu of charcuterie, strong French cheese, and serious meat and fish dishes, backed by a cellar running to around two thousand labels.
-
Rank 34. Osteria la Fontanina
Italian
-
-
Exposed stone walls and wooden beams from a Renaissance palazzo sit alongside contemporary furniture at this fusion bistro tucked into Palazzo Forti. The menu moves between traditional meat and fish dishes and Asian touches, with small sharing plates like bao alongside more substantial options. On warm nights, the cloister with its old walls and soft lighting is the place to sit, and Sunday brunch draws a loyal local crowd.
-
Rank 37. Trattoria al Pompiere
Venetian

Rank 41. CUORE – Luca Brancati
Neapolitan Pizza
Three dough styles under one roof: the classic Neapolitan round with a high puffed crust, Roman tray pizza sliced thin, and the house "Fa Crock," crispy outside and pillowy within. This is a serious pizza shop in a small Veneto town, run by a Campanian heart, so the fried starters, montanare, supplì, and mozzarella in carrozza, arrive as family tradition rather than afterthought. Toppings roam from Venetian asparagus to Calabrian 'nduja. The beer list comes with pairing notes, which few pizza places bother.

Rank 46. Trattoria I Masenini
Traditional Italian
-
Rank 47. L'Oste Scuro
Seafood
-
A pizzeria tucked among greenery in a quiet corner of the Veneto, where the dough goes through a long, slow rise and sometimes a double cook, fried then baked, before it lands on the table. The chef pairs bacalà alla vicentina with pizza like it's an obvious idea, which it isn't, and somehow pulls it off. Locally sourced ingredients throughout, and a roster of toppings that dares without losing the thread.
-
Rank 49. Renato Bosco
Pizza
Renato Bosco has spent years classifying pizza the way a scientist classifies species, and the menu reflects it: named doughs, named leavening styles, named formats, each doing something slightly different from the last. This is a pizza restaurant where tasting menus are genuinely how you're meant to eat, moving through pan, focaccia, and airy eight-slice rounds before landing on a round Tonda with a proper cornicione.
-
Rank 50. Vescovo Moro
Contemporary Italian
-
Rank 51. Al Pozzo
Seafood
-
Rank 52. Osteria Madonnetta
Italian
The wisteria-covered terrace sits just off Marostica's famous chessboard square, and the dining room inside feels like it has barely changed in decades. This old-school trattoria holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand and runs on a tight menu of Venetian classics: bigoli pasta, salt cod the Vicenza way, tripe soup. Tables are few and regulars are loyal, so booking ahead is less a suggestion than a fact of life.
-
Perched at the edge of Bosco Chiesanuova in the Lessini Mountains, Araldo is a pizzeria that treats local sourcing like a quiet obsession. Neapolitan rounds share the menu with Roman-style shovel pizzas made from ancient grains, named after a Cimbrian word from when medieval German settlers colonized these hills. Cheeses come from Monte Veronese dairies, cured meats from the village butcher. Good beer and wine list to match.
-
A pizzeria on the outskirts of Verona where the dough alone involves up to eight different flours and fermentations long enough to make you feel guilty for eating the result so fast. The menu runs classic rounds, pizza by the slice, focaccia, farinata, and Detroit-style by reservation only, the last one paired with gin and tonics because why not. The gluten-free operation is run by the chef's son, a vice world champion in that category.
-
Rank 55. Come in Corte Aurora
Venetian
Two pairs of brothers run this contemporary Italian restaurant in a renovated Art Nouveau villa: one pair owns the land and raises the meat, the other runs the kitchen. The result is a menu that feels unusually connected from farm to plate. Tasting menus and à la carte both, with Venetian roots and a colorful, image-conscious style. In summer, tables spill outside into views of the Euganean Hills.
-
Rank 56. Donatelli 3011
Italian Pizza
A pizza restaurant in San Giovanni Lupatoto that takes its crust seriously enough to offer a dedicated sauce menu for dipping the leftovers, which says something about confidence. The interior leans industrial chic with soft lighting, giving it more metropolitan energy than the address might suggest. Toppings run from a straightforward Margherita to combinations involving gin tonic, and the kitchen makes everything fresh. Named on 50 Top Pizza Italy's Excellent Pizzerias list.
-
A wood-fired oven built by Neapolitan artisans anchors the room at this Verona pizzeria, surrounded by hand-painted Vietri ceramics and the low hum of regulars who clearly never left. The dough ferments for 72 hours, which gives the crust that particular lightness that makes you eat more than you planned. Seasonal specials sit alongside the classics, and the desserts, including a millefoglie from celebrated local chef Giancarlo Perbellini, are not an afterthought.
-
Rank 58. Locanda '800
Seafood
-
Rank 59. Locanda di Nonna Ida
Modern Italian
-
Rank 60. Pedrocchino
Pizza
A pizzeria where the chef, Walter Rampazzo, turns the dough itself into the menu, offering versions made with seawater, charcoal, or put through a triple-cooking process of steam, fry, and bake. The space has grown over the years into a sprawling multi-room spot with nearly two hundred seats and a garden with a pool. Long-leavened doughs, a solid beer selection, and a wine list round things out.
-
An old-school trattoria tucked into the Euganean Hills, Ballotta has been around forever and shows no signs of getting tired of it. The kitchen leans into the land and the season, peasant cooking given a quiet, unfussy polish. The wine list follows the same logic: local, considered, no showboating. A family still runs the place, which you feel in the room before anyone says a word.
-
Rank 62. Cavour
Venetian
-
Rank 63. Dalla Rosa Alda
Venetian
-
Rank 64. Il Calandrino
Contemporary Italian
The bar-cum-pasticceria means you have a credible excuse to stop in at almost any hour. Il Calandrino is a contemporary Italian restaurant run by the same family behind the three-Michelin-starred Le Calandre next door, and the cooking moves between creative seafood plates and old-school house favourites that regulars have been ordering for years. The room is elegant without being stiff, and the chocolate layer cake with zabaglione alone justifies the detour to Rubano.
-
Rank 65. La Rosina
Venetian
-
The cypress-lined drive into Villa Cordevigo sets the tone before you've even sat down. L'Oseleta is a Michelin-starred fine dining room a short drive from Lake Garda, at its best on the glassed veranda overlooking the gardens and pool. The chef's menu moves between seafood, lake fish, vegetarian, and meat with near-theatrical precision, the kind of cooking where the sauces do more than the menu suggests they will.
-
Rank 67. Aubergine
Italian
-
Rank 68. Al Palazzon
Venetian
-
Rank 69. Zio Mo’
Pizza
A sprawling pizza spot where the dough changes before you've settled on a favorite, because the kitchen is always mid-experiment. The mix of flours and hydration levels shifts with the seasons, so the menu runs from timeless classics to stuffed calzones to high-hydration variations that feel like a different argument for what pizza can be. The room is big and popular in the way a place gets when the neighborhood has actually adopted it. Ranked among 50 Top Pizza Italy.
-
Rank 70. Osteria della Tana
Venetian
The red house at Kaberlaba holds two restaurants, and this is the more relaxed one, where the kitchen turns toward Veneto classics like baccalà alla vicentina and tripe. It shares a roof with a Michelin-starred sibling, so the odd crossover dish appears on the menu. The carbonara, made with local ingredients, has developed its own following. An osteria in the old sense: proper food, full flavors, no need to dress up.
-
Bitter notes are the kitchen's calling card at this contemporary restaurant in the Euganean Hills town of Este, where the chef builds dishes around vegetables and contrast rather than complexity for its own sake. Nothing hides behind a sauce or a garnish; the cooking is stripped back enough that each ingredient has to earn its place. The kind of room where you leave tasting something, not just eating it.
-
Rank 72. Pasticceria Marisa
Bakery
-
Rank 73. Gigi Pipa
Wood-fired Pizza
A former match factory in Este is now a pizzeria with a garden, which is exactly the kind of origin story that sounds invented but isn't. The chef runs three styles of pizza, wood-fired classics, tasting pies in a contemporary style, and thin Roman rounds, with vegetables and ingredients pulled largely from small local producers. Ranked in the 50 Top Pizza Italy and World lists, it earns a Forno Verde special award for its green sourcing focus.

A former tobacco-drying shed at the north edge of Abano Terme, now a pizzeria with high ceilings, open space, and a wood-fired oven doing serious work. The dough runs in several directions: traditional biga, whole wheat, burnt wheat, and contemporary Neapolitan, all landing crispy and light. Tables fill fast, which tells you something about how the price sits relative to what arrives. The outdoor areas help with overflow.
-
-
The Alpini Bridge fills the window and the Brenta runs below, which is a pretty solid backdrop for a pizza place. This Bassano del Grappa pizzeria works several dough styles, from puffy Neapolitan to a thinner Venetian version, piling them with Southern Italian imports alongside local Asiago and cod. Desserts come with a nod to the local grappa tradition, and the wine list punches above its weight. Ranked in 50 Top Pizza Italy.

Rank 80. Trattoria alla Pergola
Venetian
-
Rank 81. Stella d'Italia
Venetian
Snails get their own section of the menu here, which tells you most of what you need to know about this family-run trattoria on Piazza Carlo Alberto. The kitchen works squarely within Venetian tradition, pulling in Lake Garda touches along the way, and the bigoli with guinea fowl and the calf's liver with onions are exactly as old-school as they sound. In summer, tables spill into a garden with lake glimpses.
-
Rank 82. Belle Parti
Seafood
Up a floor in a palazzo along a porticoed alley in the pedestrian center, Belle Parti is the kind of classic seafood restaurant that makes you feel you've wandered into someone's very tasteful dining room. Exposed beams, paintings, and mirrors compete handsomely for your attention, and the seasonal menu leans toward the Adriatic, with a few good meat options for the table's dissenter.
-
Rank 83. Enotavola Pino
Seafood
-
-
Rank 85. Stefano Mocellin al Padovanino
Contemporary Italian
A chef who spent time in Milan and Venice before bringing the distilled results back to Padua's historic center. This is a creative Italian restaurant where the barbecue grill quietly anchors nearly everything on the menu, lending a smoky throughline to dishes that pull from different corners of the north. The cooking reads as personal rather than fashionable, and the room feels like a place where someone is actually trying to say something.
-
Rank 86. Exforo
Contemporary Italian
-
-
A historic villa in the Monte Grappa foothills, with kitchen gardens that actually feed the tasting menus, is a good argument for creative modern cuisine. The chef builds seasonal menus around short-supply-chain and organic ingredients, following the territory's rhythm rather than fighting it. The cellar leans into PIWI grape varieties alongside the classics, and the front-of-house runs things with the kind of quiet attention that makes a long tasting dinner feel easy rather than exhausting.
-
-
Rank 90. Maso Palù
Alpine Italian
-
Rank 91. Il Baretto
Venetian Seafood
-
The grill does most of the talking here, turning out meat-forward plates with fish options alongside, and appetisers that don't shy away from tripe and sweetbreads. It's a relaxed osteria occupying an old café that's been around forever, reopened by three partners who kept the classics and the quality ingredients but skipped the dusty atmosphere. A la carte runs generous and straightforward, the kind of menu where you don't need to overthink it.
-
Rank 93. Osteria dai Coghi
Modern Italian
-
Brama treats pizza as a design problem, running doughs through water kefir, sourdough, and spontaneous fermentation until they land somewhere lighter than you expected. The result covers a lot of ground: crispy round pies, small skillets, Roman paddles, each with its own texture and leavening. Toppings lean on seasonal produce and small producers. The room looks the part, the wine and beer list is short but considered, and 50 Top Pizza has taken notice.
-
The wagyu on the menu comes from Monte Baldo, just up the road, which tells you most of what you need to know about the kitchen's logic here. A Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant inside Hotel Belfiore, NIN offers two menus alternating between meat and lake fish, with vegetables from the property's own farm. Book a veranda table for the Lake Garda view, then let the theatrical, locally-obsessed plates do their thing.
-
A Michelin-starred restaurant tucked into a small alleyway above Malcesine's old town, where the garden opens onto olive trees and a sweep of Lake Garda. The chef has been cooking in this corner of the Veneto long enough that the regulars call his dishes by name, and two tasting menus let him have it both ways, one for new ideas and one for the classics he can't shake. À la carte is also on the table, literally.
-
Rank 97. Casa del Vino della Vallagarina
Regional Italian
A seventeenth-century palazzo in a small Trentino hill town, with mountain views on clear days and a cellar stocked with nearly every producer in the Vallagarina valley. The daily tasting menu shifts with the season and the kitchen garden, though you can pick just a few courses if commitment feels like too much. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of regional wine list that makes ordering by the glass a long and pleasant exercise.
-
Rank 98. Boccadoro
Venetian
-
Rank 99. La Veranda del Color
Modern Mediterranean
-
A contemporary restaurant in the Padova province that grew out of a gastro pub and kept growing, which explains the wine list's unusual passion for international sparkling wines. The menu runs meat and fish with a leaning toward luxury ingredients, Wagyu and foie gras doing most of the talking. Lunch skews lighter, but the à la carte is where the kitchen shows off. Cocktails are on at midday too, which is either civilized or a warning.
