CESANESE LAZIO ROSSO IGT · Another ancient grape variety that pre-dates the Romans. This deep-coloured Cesanese displays full aromas of Marasca cherry with notes of white and black pepper.

This is a phenomenal dining experience it’s intimate, but it has exquisitely plated , all the food is time to perfection, which is actually quite a feat, considering what’s on their surf and turf. Cocktails are exceptional ! I waited way too long to come here and I cannot wait to go back. The staff are absolutely lovely and quite accommodating. I would give this place six out of five. ! 👌🏽

Never get disappointed at Vero Bistro. Cocktails always taste good and refreshing. The food quality is always consistent and the service is superb. Started with the escargots and the baratta salad. Followed with “steamy hot” squash soup. The soup was creamy and tasty. We had beef tenderloin with truffle and the beef was so tender. Finished off with cheesecake and mango coconut gelato. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Quite disappointing. While the service was very good, the atmosphere and food were mediocre. It was a wedding anniversary and we asked for a quiet table - unfortunately they kind of jammed us in a corner on a small table at the front. Not very comfortable or quiet. The amuse bouche was very fishy tasting and smelling. The lobster bisque was not creamy and it was bitter. Some of the lobster pieces were ok, but most were overdone and chewy. A nice thing was that the server/manager did not charge us for the bisque. Strangely, the bisque was supposed to be a daily special but it was not special at all. The rest of the meal was okay, but nothing to write home about and the total price of the meL was still very high. Would not recommend.

We recently celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday at Vero and thought it was a diamond in the rough. Tucked away in the middle of Kensington, you’ve probably walked by it without realizing. We were pleasantly surprised to walk in and see such a cozy atmosphere with candles and classy music. Friendly staff greeted us and provided top tier service the whole time. We ordered a burrata salad, arancini, steak frites, lamb chops, and sweet potato gnocchi. Everything arrived pipping hot and fresh, you could really tell that they source good ingredients and the chef prepares the dishes to perfection. Especially the lamb, probably the best I’ve had. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon!

Great atmosphere. Great tasting foods and presentation! Bit noisy from a couple tables. Could trim off the elasticky membrane from the calamari - bit embarrassing to eat or contend with
