Dinner at L'Oste Scuro

L’Oste Scuro in Verona is a restaurant for people who take seafood seriously. The focus is firmly on the sea, but the cooking goes well beyond a conventional Italian fish restaurant. Our dinner moved from pristine oysters through calamari with bottarga and dill, octopus with roasted aubergine, and an elegant amberjack tiradito with sorbet and caviar. “Entrando in mare” captured the restaurant’s playful side, while spaghetti with sea urchin and burrata delivered the richness you hope for from...

L’Oste Scuro in Verona is a restaurant for people who take seafood seriously. The focus is firmly on the sea, but the cooking goes well beyond a conventional Italian fish restaurant. Our dinner moved from pristine oysters through calamari with bottarga and dill, octopus with roasted aubergine, and an elegant amberjack tiradito with sorbet and caviar. “Entrando in mare” captured the restaurant’s playful side, while spaghetti with sea urchin and burrata delivered the richness you hope for from Mediterranean cooking. Black cod with purée, caviar and crème fraîche was luxurious, while charcoal-grilled amberjack brought welcome smokiness and contrast. A pistachio semifreddo with berries finished the meal. What impressed me was the balance between excellent raw ingredients and contemporary technique: the seafood remains recognisable and central rather than disappearing beneath unnecessary complexity. L’Oste Scuro feels polished without becoming formal—a very good seafood address in the heart of Verona. Less

(Swipe for more pics) This is the chef of Oste Scuro, very kind and talked to us after the meal. He is very friendly and proud of the ingredients he used. I think Oste Scuro and Marisole are clear examples why it is so great to eat in Italy. They use high quality ingredients and produce and prepare them with care without any fuss. Food was simply so delicious, comforting, the real taste. And yes, pasta always taste so good!

There is no unnecessary storyline and narrative. The food says everything. Not to mention, sooooo reasonably priced compared to say France or Nordic countries.

In Italy I think these kinds of restaurants perform much better than fine dining, although there are always some exceptions. In Verona, there was an exception. Following this post. (The rest of the desserts were also posted here, which included Sicilian almond sfogliatine with cème fraiche plums, Pistacio Semifreddo with blackberry coulis, strawberries and blueberry, excellent pinenut ice cream and yummy cookies for takehome (nice folding of the foil wrap, like a handbag))
