Winter is one of the best times to discover Veronese cuisine<\/strong>: rich, enveloping and deeply linked to the history of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our guests at the DB Hotel Verona Airport Congress & Spa<\/strong> often ask what to eat in Verona in winter<\/strong> and which dishes are truly representative of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are our personal recommendations, designed for those who want to experience Verona through its most authentic flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risotto all\u2018Amarone: the unmissable traditional dish of Verona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Risotto all \u2018Amarone<\/strong> is, in our opinion, one of the first dishes that visitors to Verona should try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is made with Vialone Nano IGP rice<\/strong> and Amarone della Valpolicella wine<\/strong>, two local specialities that together create a creamy, intense and deeply coloured risotto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as being perfect for winter, this dish is a true symbol of Veronese food and wine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always recommend it to understand, in a single taste, the perfect synthesis between the rice fields of the plain and the vineyards of Valpolicella.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lesso con Pear\u00e0: Verona’s most beloved comfort food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the typical dishes of Veronese cuisine<\/strong>, Lesso<\/strong> (boiled meat) with<\/strong> Pear\u00e0<\/strong> is probably the one that will tell you the most about the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its history always fascinates our guests: according to legend, it originated at the court of the Lombards as a hot and nutritious dish prepared to restore strength to a queen in mourning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pear\u00e0 (a sauce made from breadcrumbs, marrow and pepper) is the heart of this dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the DB Hotel, we recommend it to those seeking an authentic experience, linked to Veronese winter Sundays and to the most traditional flavours of Venetian cuisine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pandoro di Verona: the sweet symbol of winter in Verona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Among the specialities to try in Verona in winter, Pandoro<\/strong>, which originated in our city, is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its recipe, registered by Domenico Melegatti in 1894, has even older roots and represents the evolution of the medieval Nadalin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its star shape, vanilla scent and soft texture, Pandoro is much more than a dessert: it is a symbol of Christmas in Verona and an example of Italian pastry excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is our recommendation for those who want to take home a piece of our tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
