I had a lovely dinner at this restaurant, and one standout dish that truly shone was the tiramisu, it was hands-down one of the best I've ever had! I highly recommend ordering it, trust me, you won't regret it. The starters were also delicious, particularly the parmesan eggplant. My main course, beef cheek, was good, but it was the tiramisu that stole the show. The atmosphere was quintessentially Italian and cozy, adding to the overall experience. The location is great, right in front of Juliet's house. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but given the quality and ambiance, it's worth every penny. The wine by the glass list also stood out.

Unique menu with great pastas. We were seated outside as the weather was nice but the foot traffic was a little close for comfort. All dishes were executed very timely and had balanced flavours.

We had a good experience at Trattoria al Pompiere. The mixed cheese tasting was very good, although the jelly was brought out late, after we had already eaten most of the cheeses. The cold tomato and peppers purée with marinated garden vegetables and herbs was excellent – full of flavor and the highlight of the meal. The tagliolini with fresh forest mushrooms and truffles were pretty good, though we did have better pasta dishes elsewhere in Verona. The parmigiana was also solid. The restaurant has a homey, traditional decor. Service was fine, though not quite as attentive as other places we visited. Overall, worth trying if you’re looking for a classic spot in Verona.

Recommended by a friend who had been recommended by another friend! And for extremely good reason. The food was fantastic. The cheese selection was amazing if you like cheese! The beef tartare, pork knuckle and ravioli were stunning. The staff were lovely and knowledgeable. The place itself is extremely characterable. Completely recommend.

We thought there’s a chance that Trattoria al Pompiere might be a tourist trap since Verona is a small town without too many restaurants, especially in this price range. But this was a very fantastic meal. We didn’t expect the restaurant to have such a high caliber of taste and authenticity in their food. Definitely worth booking a reservation here if you’re stopping by Verona.

Delicous food, however since I was solo, they were not very happy that I want to sit at the terrace. They placed me to a connecting table with a young couple which was quite awkward just because they did not want to give table meant for two just for me. However there remained enough empty tables even after I left. I wanted to have risotto, but you cannot order just one portion, minimum is two. Also both food and drinks are quite overpriced. This was my most expensive lunch out of 3 cities I have visited in Italy this summer. The young boy waiter was really sweet, decent and professional, he will be a fine professional worker one day and he was actually a better waiter than I experienced in many other restaurants. The adult waiter was professional, but not very cordial. I would probably have also a dessert (since the pasta portion was quite small), but I did not feel comfortable or particularly welcome.
