Trattoria dalla Bice

This century-old osteria in the hills of Negrar serves as a definitive thesis on Veronese mountain cuisine at Trattoria dalla Bice. The kitchen prioritizes the rustic purity of Lessinia’s bounty, beginning with hand-sliced soppressa paired with warm, stone-ground polenta. Signature primi include house-made lasagnette and bigoli, often tossed with the earthy aroma of black Lessinia truffles or a robust horse meat pastissada. Technique is rooted in slow-braising and wood-fired grilling, evidenced by the succulent agnello tartufato—a heritage recipe featuring tender lamb infused with truffle essence. Texture plays a vital role, from the silken bite of fresh egg pasta to the crisp, golden exterior of fried breaded eggplant. The meal concludes with local Monte Veronese cheeses, served alongside sharp fruit mostarda to balance the dairy’s richness. Every dish reflects a commitment to ancestral flavors.
