An aperitivo in Verona works best when it follows the part of the city you have already explored. These four stops are included because they have a current online presence; they are not a ranking, and opening hours, reservations and menus should always be checked directly.

Caval Matto

Osteria del Caval Matto is in Piazzetta Ottolini, close to the centre. Its official site lists online reservations and current contact details. It is a sensible choice if you want a small osteria setting rather than a view-led stop.

Osteria del Bugiardo

Osteria del Bugiardo is in Corso Portoni Borsari. The venue presents itself around Valpolicella wines and typical dishes, making it a natural stop when you are walking between Porta Borsari and Piazza delle Erbe.

Terrazza Bar Al Ponte

Terrazza Bar Al Ponte is by Ponte Pietra and is the option to choose for the river view. The venue confirms its terrace, restaurant and bar on its own site; reserve directly if the view is central to the plan.

Use the location to decide

The tourism guide also lists several current central alternatives. Choose according to the walk you have planned, then check whether the venue is open and whether a table or terrace booking is required.

Tip: treat aperitivo listings as a starting point, not a promise. Restaurants and bars change their hours, seasonal set-up and booking rules frequently.
