LOCANDA 4 CUOCHI.
If you are looking for a stress-free and enjoyable dinner with your
friends or colleagues, make sure to visit LOCANDA 4 CUOCHI.
The name of the restaurant, 4 cooks (4 Cuochi), refers to Gi-
ancarlo Perbellini, Andrea Manzoli, Dario Fracasso e Moreno
Pellegrini. These individuals transpire the highest standards of
cuisine and Michelin Stars. The restaurant has been built by
the Veronese architect Silvia Bettini and the project required an
investment of 400 thousand Euros. It is located in the heart of
Verona – just a stone’s throw from the Arena – the 4 cooks came
up with a new brilliant and challenging idea: to create the mod-
ern “trattoria” with a high-quality gastronomic proposal, but at
an affordable price. A well thought new concept that had to have
a lot of strategies and planning ahead of the opening, in order
to ensure that the highest quality and the finesse were always
on par with other high-end restaurants. It definitely paid off.
The menu combines seasonal chicken dishes, inspired by Italian
traditions and cooked using modern cooking techniques. The
open kitchen allows customers to see the bustling environment
of dishes being prepared, making it a unique offer in a central
Veronese location or anywhere else, for that matter. Everything
Al Cristo Restaurant
Instead, if you want to break away (for a little bit) from the Italian
cuisine and try different exquisite flavours we suggest you try Al
Cristo Restaurant, located in the exclusive and intimate Piazzetta
Pescheria, a historical square in Verona’s centre, AL CRISTO
RESTAURANT is well known for its wide range of choices in-
cluding Gourmet Cuisine and seafood as well as traditional Italian
cuisine or even Sushi which is prepared in front of your eyes by
the resident sushi chef. Al Cristo’s gastronomic offer is complete
with the Pintxos Bistrot. These are small snacks, typically eaten in
bars, traditional in the northern region of Spain, especially popular
in the Basque Country and Navarre, and they can be the perfect
alternative for a more informal dinner option.
Also, the restaurant’s wine list showcases an extensive selection
of 1000 options that will please the most demanding and special
customer.
In the kitchen, there is a predominance of fish and seafood. Even
though Al Cristo has a very good range of options, we believe it
lacks its own unique characteristics that could be one step up to
turn the great restaurant into an outstanding restaurant.
From the moment you step in Al Cristo, you are greeted as if you
were entering an old friend’s home. From the waiter to the sushi
chef, the staff makes sure you feel comfortable and they are always
ready to give you the best suggestions for a wonderful meal. It truly
is one of the high points of this restaurant.
is perfect from the design of the room to the friendliness of all
staff members - our special thanks to Moreno Pellegrini for be-
ing such an amazing host – the food is the best and is served in
generous portions as if it was prepared by Nonna with a con-
temporary twist. A perfect assembly that manages to have the
best of the past and the present in one lovely package. Verona is
a definite must for anyone who wants to enjoy great food and
amazing locations.
