The restaurant specializes in typical offerings of the Veneto. Bigoli, a local pasta favorite, akin to large hollow spaghetti, is paired with anatra (duck), for a wonderfully rich primo piatto. Their coniglio arrosto (roasted rabbit) was delicious, if hard to eat neatly. Other offerings include the melodious sounding Risi e Bisi (peas in risotto)and several fish dishes.

As the name might suggest, the restaurant is just a stone's throw from the Arena. This makes it a perfect place to enjoy a pre-show dinner. If you let the staff know that you are attempting to make a performance on time, their service can be quite timely, a novelty in Italy.

Because of the primo location and the quality of the food, this place is popular. I would recommend stopping by earlier in the day, or perhaps the evening before, to secure a reservation.
