Risotto tastasal (risotto al tastasal, risotto tastasale), this salty and creamy rice dish is a traditional first course (primo) in Veneto region and particularly Veronese cuisine. Today, tastasal is a mixture of mainly pork, salt and other spices. But the meaning of tastasal is to taste the salt, and refers to a traditional procedure done by housewives in Verona when preparing sausage meat. Hence, risotto was used to test the degree of salting. And if it was tasty, then it was suitable for the meat.

Potato Gnocchi, an Italian traditional dish that has been around for ages and can be found in different variations across Italy. Potato gnocchi are small Italian dumplings of potatoes, wheat flour and eggs. The traditional version of this dish comes with a light tomato sauce, parmesan cheese (or other) and often with some sautéed vegetables. Potato gnocchi are of great importance to the Veronese people due to its connection to the Carnival. They are celebrated on the final Friday (Venerdì Gnocolar). But, they are still eaten throughout the year.

Both these dishes can be found on restaurants serving traditional Veronese food. So, what to eat in Verona? Enjoy this Verona food tour.
