There is more than one Amarone menu. The a la carte choices are extensive. The pre theatre menu is just right for getting your evening off to the perfect start. Yes, you can opt for a pizza, and very nice they are too. However, just looking at the pasta, fish and meat dishes will have you drooling. Cherry tomatoes nestle cheekily beside plump chicken, on beds of garlicky pasta. Tiny pork and beef meatballs wrestle for your attention beside tangy tomato sugo pasta tubes. Salads featuring seared lemon chicken, classic Caesar or huge tuna fillet steaks demand your attention. When you finally decide what to have, diners can relax in the knowledge that it'll all be washed gently down with your choice of Amarone's Italian wines...perfection.
Antipasto Misto in Amarone is wonderful: a fine selection of cured meats, cheeses and grilled marinated vegetables. What a starter! The vegetarian Crostini Misti; toasted Italian breads topped with wild mushrooms, toasted red peppers and mozzarella, is divine. I adore pasta, and Amarone's seafood option simply bursts with juicy king prawns, tender scallops and perfectly prepared mussels and calamari. Amarone has put as much care and attention into its selection of wines as it has done to its fantastic food. They proudly state that their selections have been made for the best possible pleasure for their diners. How considerate they are! A wonderfully rounded Valpolicella might be your choice, or how about a sprightly Pinot Grigio Rose? Even in chic Amarone, a decent bottle of Italian beer isn’t out of the question either. In summer take the opportunity of sitting outside and watching the busy city centre go about its business. Vegetarian diners are very well catered for. Amarone offers a set menu which is ideal for large parties, and which can be customised on request. Amarone can also be booked for exclusive hire. “How can Amarone deliver such treats at such reasonable prices?” we ask ourselves. Of the eight different focaccia on offer, prices start at unbelievably affordable levels. The pre-theatre menu offers meals for two or three courses that will get your evening off to an excellent start. Considering the peaceful atmosphere, convenient position in the city centre and top class service, Amarone does indeed offer very good value for money.
