Locanda Castelvecchio (VR)
An undisputed institution in Verona and guardian of its most authentic culinary traditions, such as the meat stew with “pearà” sauce served in white gloves and luxe silverware, the restaurant has a truly unique history to tell, dating back to the 18th century.

The Secret
The legend tells that during the occupation of Verona by the Lombards, the pearà sauce was invented by the cook of King Alboino as a “potion” to give strength to Rosmunda, his young wife, who wanted to let herself die of hunger after Alboino had killed her father and forced to drink from his skull.
