Verona

Rivamancina is a cosy and stylish bar with exposed stone, leafy corners, and modern art on the walls, offering well-made cocktails and light bites. It’s quite popular, especially on weekends, so show up early if you want to grab a table.

In the heart of the old town, this wine bar is a solid pick for a slow evening. Think brick walls, candlelight, and a steady stream of people stopping in for a glass of Amarone or Prosecco. The menu leans simple: cured meats, cheeses, and antipasti. Outside seating is great for people-watching.

Open year-round by Lake Garda, this place mixes lounge bar, restaurant, and nightclub vibes. The small white beach and palm trees set a relaxed, holiday mood. Cocktails and food keep things easy, while evenings bring DJs and a livelier crowd.

Piper is a bit of everything—restaurant, lounge bar, and late-night club—all with a panoramic view over Verona. It’s the kind of place you come for sunset drinks and end up staying until the DJ kicks in. The crowd’s mixed, the vibe leans flashy, and the terrace is the main draw. Good for a night out with friends if you’re up for cocktails, music, and a bit of a scene. Food-wise, expect Italian standards—pasta, pizza, the usual—but it’s more about the atmosphere than fine dining.
