Stunning dinner tonight in a beautiful restaurant in Piazza Broilo topped off a gorgeous Veronese day. The rain cleared by lunchtime and we sat in Pizza delle Erbe and shared a pizza. We had a great sleep in Hotel Giulietta E Romeo in a quiet cobbled street just off Piazza Bra in the shadow of the Arena – so good a sleep that we missed breakfast so justified our gelato in the afternoon. The Montague’s and Capulet’s may have feuded but surely they would have stopped every now and then to take in the beauty of this stunning place. Everywhere you walk the scenery gets more stunning. The view across the river really looked like a magnificent painting from the old Masters. We had dinner tonight in the gorgeous Antica Torretta. A beautiful small restaurant on the corner of a small piazza. I had seen it on Trip Advisor but we saw it when we were out wandering today and it looked so beautiful we wandered back for dinner. Scampi, pasta with asparagus and speck and as you can see below we couldn’t resist the stunning desert. We have planned a hike in the morning to Castel San Pietro so think our fantastic dinner was justly deserved!
