MICHELIN Dining In Verona Italy (WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!!!)

[@starlabaucum5658]

People need to take cues from you on how to interact respectfully and learn from their servers. Just love watching you enjoy and do food reviews. You are fabulous at what you do!!!!

[@janetlombardi2314]

Italy is a must from experience it doesnt disappoint it's a number one destination brilliant

[@EuroTrotter]

Love it!

[@FreshfromEden]

Mark this is one of your better videos. It was very smart to limit the subject matter to just this one fine dining experience. A truly unique approach to a food vlog. Keep up the good work!

[@susanthejew6351]

if this is one of his better videos he sucks at this

[@InternationalFoodieGuide]

Hello Mark, this is an excellent production, very nicely done, I have seen many food bloggers but this is exceptional, I thoroughly enjoyed the way you explain the food, location, the ambience, the presentation and everything in between. this is by far one of my favourites, thanks very much.

[@EuroTrotter]

Hello there, thank you so much for the kind words and for watching. I truly appreciate the feedback!

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

International Foodie Guide Errr...can I break the eggs in your basket? He is pretty incompetent and got served a supermarket shelf spumante (Ferrari Brut) considering it a prosecco which it isn't. The difference is substantial, Ferrari is a cheap bottle here in Italy (around 10-11 euros) while prosecco starts off from 30 euros at least. The video is well done though you see there is someone who knows about lighting, filming and editing behind it.

[@freeplace5243]

I too love the wines of the Veneto region and again it brought back my memories of Italy through your travels. Bravissimo! Great vlog!

[@EuroTrotter]

Thank you so much!

[@ThyRenaissance]

Through your videos I’ve grown more curious about Italy and I’ve been watching so many videos on their food that I can name them right away now 😂 I love the way you describe food. Many other travel bloggers only describe food as “delicious” or “it’s good” and that’s about it. Also love how much work you put into your videos every time. Bravo :)

[@EuroTrotter]

Thank you so much for such great feedback. Italy is just gets a hold of you and doesn't let go, there is so much diversity between the regions in such a small landscape, which makes it fun and always a new experience! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

Thy Renaissance The best part about Italy is that anywhere you go you'll find surprising and marvelous things and great food. Everybody thinks Italy is "Roma, Venezia, Firenze" because they are the most advertised (and truly incredible although they have become too "turisty") but actually there are DOZENS of incredible cities and town all with fabulous architecture and shockingly good restaurants. To name a few (I'm Italian and live in Italy) from north to south: Verona, Milano, Bergamo Alta, Treviso, Parma, Siena, Orvieto, Napoli (and the Reggia of Caserta, probably the most beautiful palace in Europe with among the rest a fountain...that is 3Km/2miles long!), Bari, Otranto, Palermo, Siracusa. Just for an idea...take a look at Otranto: images.app.goo.gl/hivbfSVLnfN1a4Ct5

[@ThyRenaissance]

ClaudeMagicbox I agree. I come from Singapore and whenever I see someone posting on Instagram that they went to Italy, I already know what to expect. It’s always the same few cities that they visit. Ever since covid, I’ve found out so much more to Italy and the cuisines that each region offers based on their produce - and I regret not visiting the Northern Part of Italy where the Dolomites are, as I was in Germany for an exchange program. For sure would do coastal towns first, those Gino D’acampo travelled to in his show because something about the high cliffs and the sea appeals to me. Thank you very much for your input, have a good day :)

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

@@ThyRenaissance You too of course and welcome back to Italy when you'll have the chance to get here again :-)

And now I want to go to Verona! Mark, I discovered your vlog a few months ago after booking a trip to Rome (first time ever!) and because of your vlog, I said “I am dining at Da Felice” and had the cacio e pepe that you raved about! It was fantastic!! God willing, one day I will dine at this restaurant too 🙏

Reminded me of the champagne glasses my grandparents received as wedding presents in the early 1930s. Beautiful! They did not drink alcohol, so they used them to serve ice cream!!!👍 Sending peace and love. Until your next video, grateful to you for sharing your awesome experiences😊

Hello Mark, Vittorio Emanuele is on the Michelin guide but it doesn't have a Michelin star. Also the prosecco you choose is a very commercial brand here in Italy and it cost 10 euros at the market, it does not require a specific glass ;)

[@EuroTrotter]

correct, i never mentioned it had a star, rather, it is michelin rated, with a plate...which means it's judged with the same 5 criteria as the star system and it is an overall excellent dining experience...and i am TOTALLY sure the prosecco is cheaper in the market lol...but the type of glass does influence how the bubbles stream....anyway, LOVE the convo! thanks for watching my friend

[@tropietek4442]

@@EuroTrotter that's not true, the type of glass doesn't influence how the bubbles stream, he more they are persistent and continuous better is the wine, but the "ferrari" it's just for markets, they have a premium version that's called "Giulio Ferrari" you should try it and see the difference of the bubbles (perlage) Nice video anyway "alla prossima!" from Italy :)

[@ClaudeMagicbox]

At 4:00 you didn't drink a prosecco but a spumante or the Italian name for champagne (Ferrari Brut). Just we don't like the french name so we call all white sparkling wines made with champenoise method "spumante" or "foaming". Out of curiosity how much did they charge you for the Ferrari bottle? Here in Italy it's a basic supermarket shelf spumante and you find it for 10-11 euros in any market. Oh and paccheri are not a typical pasta in Veneto/Verona because they are from Napoli. Moreover Valpolicella is a geographic region not a grape (and Sartori is really a low end bottle my friend, again supermarket stuff of the lower shelves). Ciao :-)

I had lunch at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Imola called Ristorante San Domenico. It, as well as the city, was mentioned as unmissable in a book by the art historian Vittorio Sgarbi, and when I dropped his name the owner gave me the royal treatment and I got out of there for about €60, way less than expected.

This is one of the boujiest restaurant in Verona! I don't know personally a single person who's been there to dine. Also Maffei in piazza erbe and Perbellini in the countryside are way up there. If you want to try some BOMB traditional food from Verona you should try osteria Giulietta e Romeo. The Horse meat is awesome. Also in restaurants like il Torcolo you can try the traditional carrello di bolliti: an array of boiled meats served with pearà and other sauces

Dear Mark I'm sorry to inform you, that paccheri pasta are not Veronese but derive from Campania (Naples), the name paccheri comes from the Greek "πᾶν" means "everything" and "χειρ" means "Hand" all made by hand, then changed to the Neapolitan language in the past, it became the word "Pacca" which means "slap", since in the processing of fresh pasta it was used to slap the pasta to deprive it of air and to make the sheet thinner, the word "Paccheri" derives from the Neapolitan dialect in English "slap"!

ted.angell instagram Hahaha...yeah in 1998 in the Politecnico di Milano (scientific university) they successfully synthesized artificial truffle flavor/odor and from then on hundreds of inexpensive "truffle" foods have appeared all over the place starting from "truffle olive oil". In reality real truffle costs anywhere from 600 euros x Kg (ordinary balck) to 3000 euros x Kg (black from Norcia) up to even 25.000 x Kg (white from Alba, very rare).

Nice video! However it is packed with misinformation. 1. The bay leaf is a sage leaf 2. No, Europeans don't eat late (9pm onwards). This only pertains to Southern Europeans. 3. Valpolicella is not a grape. It's a region near Verona where Amarone wine comes from. The grapes used for Amarone are mainly Corvina and Rondinella. 4. There are no cheaper meat cuts wrapped around the fillet when Chateaubriand is prepared these days This is history and since many decades nobody is preparing it this way anymore, mainly in order to not waste any meat. It is simply the grilled center piece of a fillet, usually served for two people. But the music is very nice, but probably more appropriate for a Spanish episode. 😉

So the stream of the bubbles should come up from the middle of the glass (4:38)? Oh, really?! Why is that? You failed to state why that should be and its significance. I have never heard such nonsense! Who the hell cares where the bubbles rise from. Also, like the Italian friends I made in Italy when I was there many times explained how gullible American tourists are - you just proved it. You gladly pay $40, $50 a plate for a less than a fistful of food on a 14 inch plate. How ridiculous is that! You should have just handed them your wallet as you walked in! The waiter looks like he's dying to laugh (at you). I've eaten in many fine, "fancy" restaurants in Italy and none of them impressed me. The food (always miniature on gigantic plates) was ordinary, and at time bad (like the Chevy Chase scene when he was in Paris). The best meals I had were in small mom and pop trattorias. I ate with the locals, and I couldn't give a damn where the bubbles rose from, as long as it tasted good. This is why Italians mock and laugh at Americans behind their backs, as many times to their faces.
