Nice and quiet place. We had lunch there. It was very quiet and the place inside was very good. We enjoyed the food. The beef steak was cooked excellent so juicy it melted in the mouth. Would go again for that meat

The Tagliatelle al Tartufo and Beef with Amarone sauce were absolutely outstanding – a solid 11/10. The wines from the owners’ vineyard were a pleasant surprise and rounded off the experience beautifully.

Grazie Mille Ragazzi! Molto bene! It was amazing I felt very lucky to get a table and were very welcome! So friendly, incredibly delicious, price/quality is simply perfect! I was in Verona for only 20 hours trip but for the only dinner I have chosen Puntara and it was a miracle want to come back!

We arrived quite late and they still served us, didn't rush us and gave us a very nice and welcoming experience. The food was super good and tasty (had the prosciutto and melon and the truffle pasta) and everything was really nice. Edit: Came in a second time, and tried their cold platter, the selection of meats was perfect and so so delicios. And thier spicy fig jam was a perfect companion to the cheeses. The wine was amazing as well. We also tried the grilled beef with potatoes and all I can say is Bravo! We loved it here, thanks for being amazing!

Osteria Puntara is a refreshing and peaceful place to eat at in the heart of Verona. This place is not a tourist trap like many other restaurants in Verona. Once we were seated and had ordered drinks, we noticed the place start to fill up with 90% Italian families and couples. That’s when we realised we chose the right spot. My wife ordered an asparagus carbonara and I ordered a beef steak sided with a potato mash and gravy. The slow cooked meat was so soft it cut like butter and my wife’s carbonara was just as good. The service was attentive but not in our faces and the waitress was very understanding with the only little Italian we could speak. We will recommend this traditional place to anyone who comes to Verona.
