In Verona there is a magical place, perhaps unknown even to many Veronese, where it is possible to live an unforgettable experience. And the terrace of the starsa floor that connects the first ring of the Arena with the wing (which survived the 1117 earthquake and has always been a symbol of the amphitheater), and which offers a suggestive glimpse of Piazza Bra and its historic Liston.

Here, before the opera that animates the historic amphitheatre, it is possible to enjoy a stellar gastronomic experience, The Star Roof, among the many offers from Arena Opera Festival Experiencean exclusive project by Arena Foundation and created in collaboration with the Noahlity Group. There are a total of 24 seats available for dinner and the menu, signed by Mattia Bianchi, Executive Chef of the Amistà restaurantMichelin Star since 2020, inside the 5*Luxury Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista owned by the Facchini family, it consists of four courses selected with particular attention based on seasonality and territory, accompanied by a fine selection of Sartori wines.

«Cooking is my passion and cooking in the Arena is a source of pride for me, but also a great responsibility, and not only because Verona is the city where I was born, but because these experience in the amphitheater are among the most prestigious of the 2024 Arena season” he comments Mattia Bianchi. «The menus I designed for these dinners were born from the desire to tell my professional journey and the particular attention I have always dedicated to the territory and the seasonality of the ingredients. This is the philosophy that I also follow at the Amistà Restaurant, strongly supported by the Facchini family.”
