Osteria Giulietta, Verona

Dinner at the Osteria Giulietta e Romeo, Corso S. Anastasia, Verona

Gorgeous Amarone selection – also the “house” Amarone was 8 Euros and stunning. Served with pumpkin ravioli, polenta with mushroom, a horsemeat stew. Wine bar-hopped with colleagues: Bottega del Vino  – new owners – had a bad Pinot Nero from Alto Adige and a mediocre Amarone. Also stopped at the tiny wine bar just across from Osteria – had a decent Amarone. The other evening all of the judges dined at a sort of BBQ restaurant with a dire wine list and we ended up drinking mass quantities of Masi’s Amarone …reliably appealing.
