The story of Enocibus begins with the desire to realize a dream, the famous “secret dream” that Peter, the owner, had wanted to realize for a long time, putting to work his vast experience in the world of wine, gained in over fifty years of working in wine and gourmet food producing companies.
The project was born in the summer of 2000.
First thing, a name was needed that immediately gave the idea of what one could taste, in that cozy corner, nestled in a lane in the center of Verona just steps from the Arena. Here is the idea: Yes, certainly “ENO” the prefix for all that concerns wine, and here there are wines of all kinds, to be carried home or to enjoy here at leisure, knowledgably matched with dishes created expressly for them, and from here “CIBUS”, yes, yes food, ok, perfect—ENOCIBUS.
You ask yourselves, the plural that I used before, was it only a plural of royalty, or is there someone else who together with Peter manages this spot?
Certainly, allow me to introduce myself, I am Mary, the better half, the writer, the bookkeeper, the decorator, the buyer, the manager of public relations and flowers.
And that’s only the beginning!
On the 31st of October, with the blending of our work experience and a lot of positive energy, we finally opened ENOCIBUS, a spot that in a very short while has become notable both for its wines and cuisine and
as a meeting place. The atmosphere is pleasing and familiar, and as our notable restaurateur friend said of us, “Every evening you and Peter set the table and cook for your guests as if you were at home,
with love and distinctive taste, with the only difference being that afterward they pay the bill.”
