In Altavilla along the road that leads to Verona, you can find the trattoria “Leoncino, so called in honour of the Venetian Serenissima Republic’s Lion. “Leoncino” is a place with an old tradition in the field of typical  Vicentin local food: as a matter of fact it started to offer hospitality in 1890 when Giuseppe Tecchio, grandfather of the actual owner Piero, decided to rent the place.

Today “Leoncino” is a sure reference for who wants to taste the classical local food: The journal of Vicenza defines it a “myth of our traditional gastronomy”, while the Espresso’s Guide (1998) underlines the merit of this old place to resist dauntless to time’s traps and the “excessive force that cancels pieces of history”.
Mrs Sabrina (the present owner’s daughter) with Mr Sergio Miolo, her husband, (in the picture) helps since 1987 in the management of the firm.
