Al Capitan della Cittadella

Al Capitan della Cittadella is a contemporary seafood restaurant situated in Verona’s city center, offering a sensory journey through fresh fish flavors and delicate Mediterranean aromas. Established in 2005 by Giancarlo Perbellini and chef-owner Andrea Manzoli, it is recognized for its innovative seafood menu crafted daily from ingredients sourced early each morning. Fish arrives mainly from the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas, complemented by prized French oysters and seasonal Italian vegetables. This dedication to freshness and seasonality allows the dishes to highlight natural flavors through refined, clean presentations. The dining space welcomes guests with blue and azure hues and nautically inspired furnishings, evoking a calm maritime ambiance. The cuisine showcases contemporary Italian seafood, featuring preparations like raw, grilled, oven-baked, and salt-crusted fish that combine balanced flavors with visual elegance. Signature dishes include the Gran Piatto del Capitan—a selection of shellfish and crudi in the French tradition—alongside classic offerings such as cacciucco and baccalà mantecato, plus a six-course tasting menu drawn from daily market catches. Desserts and artisanal ice creams from Pasticceria Dolce Locanda complete the experience with creative sweetness.
