What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Il Punto Rosa offers a charming and authentic Italian dining experience with a cozy atmosphere. Many praise the delicious pasta, flavorful steaks, and extensive wine selection, along with friendly service. However, some find the tablet ordering system cumbersome and a few mention issues with service attentiveness and value for money.
"Yesterday, we had the chance to eat at this amazing place. We first came for lunch and ordered some pasta and steak — everything was absolutely delicious. All the staff members were very helpful and extremely friendly. They gave us great food and drink recommendations.
In the evening, we decided to come back again. A very kind lady at the reception, who already remembered us, welcomed us and took us to our table. She once again gave us honest and helpful food recommendations. That was the best steak and gnocchi I’ve ever had. I’m very picky with steaks, but this one… I honestly can’t explain how good it was.
We had such a great time, and we’ll definitely come back to eat here on our next trip to Verona.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get the name of the lady with ginger hair — but girl, you are amazing. Thank you so much!☺️"

"We had a very pleasant lunch at Il Punto Rosa. The room has been beautifully decorated and has a great old-school osteria vibe, the staff were pleasant and the meal we ordered was great.
The only thing detracting from all this was that they use a tablet menu and ordering system. It is overly complicated and has terrible photos that don't show off the food at all well. More importantly it means the staff seem to spend a lot of time behind the bar, leaning and looking at phones instead of being on the floor, interacting with customers and providing the attentive, friendly service that you will find in the very best osterias. It's a shame!"

"First of all, I made a reservation for the place by e-mail. Since it was Easter, the place was completely full. The interior ambiance and decorations were magnificent. The service quality was really good. The eggplant lasagna is a must-try. I forgot to take a photo for dessert, but we tried a dessert in a cup with red fruits and mascarpone cream. It was like a dream. You should definitely go with a reservation."
