Like most places in Italy, dining in Verona is a deeply rooted cultural experience that goes far beyond just fuel. 

The city’s gastronomy scene is vibrant and food-centric, bringing together traditional Veronese dishes with modern culinary flair. You’ll find cozy trattorias serving rich pastas and risottos as well as elegant restaurants offering refined regional specialties. 

Verona offers a dynamic dining landscape that celebrates both heritage and innovation. I’ve put together a curated guide to the best restaurants in Verona for traditional dishes, and more modern fare so you know exactly where to go.

Spend one day in Siena. 

Siena, Italy, is a charming medieval city nestled in the heart of Tuscany, known for its well-preserved Gothic architecture and the stunning Piazza del Campo, where the famous Palio horse race takes place. 

Just about an hour and a half from Florence by car or bus, it makes for a perfect day trip filled with art, history, and panoramic views. 

You can explore the magnificent Siena Cathedral, stroll the narrow cobblestone streets, and enjoy authentic Tuscan cuisine in a more relaxed setting than Florence.

Of you’re visiting Italy or Tuscany this year, make sure to add one day here into your itinerary. The one day guide to Siena is now live.
