very nice food and decent wines. some available in half bottles which was great. Lovely spot, specially if you're outside where you can see the arena and life of Verona floating about outside.

As an appetizer we had 2 types of bruschettas and they were both really good. We had pasta with prawns and a pizza(I don't remember the name) Our food didn't come at the same time, around 3-4 minutes delay. It wasn't very nice because it left me staring at my partner's food while he eats it. Outside the delay the pasta was a bit too salty for me but the rest was really good Staff was nice. Other customers' tables were not too close to each other which is good. I would come back here

We were a group of 19 and this was the second time I came with a group to Verona. Both times we ate at the Olivo restaurant. The food is delicious, with great quality ingredients. The service is ultra fast and the waiters are professional, efficient and discreet. And the plus is all of this in right next to the Arena with a marvelous view of the Piazza Bra. I will always come back to eat here. Many thanks for everything. Best regards. Helenka

Food was a tad expensive, but is a great place to dine right before an Opera showing. The best part of everything was how fast the food came out! If you’re in a rush, this is the place to eat.

We had a lovely meal outside the amphitheatre, and the prices were normal, not expensive for what we ate given the location. I got the prawn, courgette, and tomato linguini…so delicious—I rarely eat pasta, so this tasted, and was homely. My friends' pesto linguine was also top tier
