The story
In the heart of Verona, tucked away in the narrow Vicoletto Due Mori, Amo Bistrot offers a contemporary space where design and comfort meet a kitchen driven by curiosity. The restaurant describes its philosophy simply: tradition and innovation blending into a new mix of flavours and sensory experiences. This approach has earned it a Michelin Recommended status, a recognition that speaks to the consistency and ambition of its cooking.
The menu is a direct reflection of that spirit, weaving together Italian staples with techniques and ingredients from across Asia. The result is a playful, confident style of fusion that never feels forced. You might find a classic Vitello Tonnato reimagined "Amo Style" sitting alongside Japanese Takoyaki, or a plate of Paccheri all'Arrabbiata given a kick with ‘nduja and gochujang. A standout section is dedicated to Bao and Gyoza, with options like Smoked Pulled Pork with red cabbage or Black Bao with a shrimp cocktail twist.
The kitchen also shows a clear love for raw and cured fish, offering crudo, tartare, and a Cirashi with mixed sashimi. Mains range from Loin Ribs of veal marinated in BBQ and wasabi to a Ceviche of swordfish with mango leche de tigre. The wine and cocktail list completes the picture, making it easy to stop by for just an aperitivo as well as a full dinner.
From October through May, the restaurant hosts a popular Sunday buffet brunch, a spread that moves from sweet to savoury, Italian to Asian. The atmosphere is young and cordial, with the team aiming to make the service as enjoyable as the food itself. It is a place that takes its cooking seriously, without taking itself too seriously.
