5. Salumeria La Gironda

Salumeria Gironda – Just a two-minute walk from Ponte Pietra, this delicatessen is considered the jewel in the neighbourhood’s crown. In our opinion it is one of the most original restaurant alternatives in Verona. It is a place that sells the best cheeses, wines and cold cuts in the region. Perfect for a romantic aperitif. What you don’t expect is the beautiful terrace with a view of the Adige River available as a picnic area.
