A “trattoria” in the heart of the city of Verona at a brief distance from the Arena inaugurated in August 2006. In few months became a point of reference in the city: good food, fantastic feelings and perfect ambience. Elia Rizzo, being raised in a historical “osteria” of Verona ran by his parents, loved the idea of living again this experience with “I Masenini”, a memory of the past, of Verona’s cuisine and Italian cuisine. From the dining hall you can view what happens in the kitchen: seeing the flaming spit turning and the busy cooks is a fascinating sight. Just local wines can be found in the wine list except for the Spumante and Champagne. Erica, Stefano and the staff make the atmosphere familiar and relaxing. What does it mean “I Masenini”? In 1836, close to our kitchen, a group of "carbonari" from Verona met, organized and octed to defend the Italian pride. We humbly steal the name to these heroes to show the pride that moves us to suggest a sincerely Italian way of cooking.
