Dalla Rosa Alda
About
The Trattoria & Locanda Dalla Rosa Alda is a family‑run gem that dates back to 1853, tucked into the picturesque village of San Giorgio di Valpolicella—one of Italy’s “Borghi più belli d’Italia.” Its modest, stone‑washed walls and vintage furnishings create an intimate, rustic charm that instantly transports guests to the heart of the Valpolicella wine country. At Dalla Rosa Alda, cuisine is a celebration of the region’s terroir. Seasonal menus showcase homemade pappardelle, tagliatelle “enbogonè,” and the legendary Risotto Vialone Nano infused with Amarone, all crafted from locally sourced produce. Signature dishes—such as the smoky Arioso in a bowl of porcini, the slow‑cooked fava stew, and the sweet “Tiramisù alle ciliegie”—are paired with an extensive list of Amarone, Valpolicella Classico, and “Vignaioli delle Marogne” vintages. Beyond the kitchen, the trattoria offers a unique experience. The rock‑cut cellar, a heritage of the family’s 19th‑century roots, houses the finest vintages and provides a tranquil tasting venue. Guests can also wander through the organic “Campo Boar” garden where herbs, truffles, and local mushrooms are cultivated, bringing fresh flavors straight to the plate. Live music, family stories, and the warm hospitality of the Dalla Rosa clan make every meal a memorable occasion. The restaurant operates on a strict schedule: lunch from 12:30 to 14:00 and dinner from 19:15 to 21:00, with Wednesdays and Thursdays offering only lunch, Fridays and Saturdays serving both courses, and Sundays only lunch. Reservations are highly recommended, especially during the holiday seasons and wine‑tasting events; they can be made by phone (+39 045 770 1018), WhatsApp (351 4188574), or the online booking form on the website. Guests are also welcome to contact the restaurant via email at dallarosalda@gmail.com for planning their visit.
