Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Vicenza
Vicenza has a dish called "baccalà" that is made with stockfish: that is the first thing to know, and it is nobody's mistake.
Baccalà alla vicentina
Norwegian stockfish soaked for days, cooked slowly with onion, anchovy, milk and oil, and served with polenta. A confraternity guards the recipe, and in the province's trattorias you order it by name.
The other dishes
- Bigoli with duck, pressed through a torchio;
- Sopressa Vicentina DOP, the big salami cut thick;
- Torresani (young pigeons) on the spit, from Torreglia and the Colli Berici;
- Risi e bisi, and gnocchi with butter and smoked ricotta.
The cheeses
Asiago DOP comes from the plateau in this province, eaten pressato or d'allevo — young or aged. In the glass, Colli Berici and Breganze.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
