Ristorante La Canonica, Verona
This was a restaurant I did not make any plan for. It is a very small restaurant with an upper deck facing the front door and a lower deck facing the kitchen serving window. I should have mentioned it is a relatively cheaper restaurant compared to many other fine-dining restaurants.
Table
The set started with an edible paper, which was probably made from rice or/and flour. A piece of novel was printed on the paper too. It was a cute way to entertain customers.
Canapé
After the reading, I got two small breads for opening up the stomach. Instead of butter, they are paired with thin slice of pork fat. I really enjoyed the combination, though the bread is too large for my mouth while the pork fat had to be bitten into two pieces.
Breads
The main part of the set is as expected given the price range: a deep fry tempera-style vegetable with a bit of soup, ravioli, pork small bites, and the main dish, which I unfortunately forgot the meat ingredient. All the dishes were as expected, while some of the meats were slightly overcooked. However, I liked the dessert, especially the olive oil flavour ice-cream with caviar! The chef balanced the salty and sweet very well. The extra caviar added extra texture and oceanic flavour. If I remember correctly, there was also a little lemon concentrate drizzle on top.

This is probably a short post. However, I had a relaxing evening there; it was a surprising restaurant, given the price range. This is why I enjoy travelling alone, I have pretty much no bounds, fully on my own pace.
