I have had some wonderful meals in my life but our lunch here would be in the top 5, yes it's that good. Great location over looking the river, fresh bread made in heaven and attentive staff with only one aim in life to provide efficient service. The choice of courses was quite extensive, we went for scallops which were... More

The bridge is very old with no car traffic so you are able to walk and take pictures to your heart's content. Definitely a place for that special picture of old Verona.

Liked this very old bridge across the river and on the way up to the castle. It was destroyed during the war and rebuilt from the original materials. Very picturesque.

This bridges two interesting sections of Verona. Spend some time on either end wandering the neighborhoods and seeing the history and the delightful aesthetics of the area

Just so beautiful. Incredible experience standing on the bridge, so old and full of history. Loved Verona all over really.

We had a lovely meal on the balcony of Ponte Pietra, overlooking the river Ardige, and we had reserved the table over the internet. It was a fantastic meal from start to finish. We enjoyed rolled scallops and buffalo ricotta, crisp bacon and leek cream as for antipasti, then both enjoyed the local rice dish (cooked in red wine). As... More

Each day we would cross this romantic and picturques bridge leading into a postcard square and the stylish section of Verona. Always inspiring - impossible not to stop and reflect on the view of the water, the hills , and the town.

This bridge is a walking bridge and is lovely. There are old stones in the water below (I believe they are remnants from war bombing), and thus there are rapids which provide a nice musical background. Just across the bridge towards city center is the best gelato shop in Verona. You can tell you are near by all the people... More

Use this bridge as your final destination on your walk through Verona. It is at the far end of the historical city center and although it looks like many other bridges, you get a real feeling of history if you look down into the Adige below and try to imagine the amounts of water that have flown under it since...
