    Service was disappointing—minimal interaction from the server, long wait times, and cold food due to delays. Given the inattentive service, we won’t be holding future business meetings here.

    I've taken my family to Verona Cucina Italiana about ten times. Each dining experience was quite pleasing. Every one of the wait staff is extremely professional and always treat us with kindness and respect. They know the specials by memory and are more than happy to repeat them to us with patience with helpful explanations. The food is always very good. Again, the wait staff has always been very attentive even though they are quite busy with other guests. In the end, Verona is a very special place to eat in Modesto, not only because of the food but for the staff and quiet surroundings. The cost of the meal is not cheap but the experience is worth every penny for the quality of service, food, and atmosphere. VCI may very well be the best restaurant in Modesto.

    This is my second time here for lunch. This restaurant has a lot of class and the food is good. I hope to return for dinner. The bar area looks inviting too.

    We love Verona's. It is one of a few restaurants that are our Go To places to eat if we want to have a business or a personal lunch/dinner. Many have said it's the best italian food in the entire area. I recommend Verona's always.

    Service was great, food was amazing and they let us in even though we were woefully under dressed. Not a negative thing to say!

    I’ve dined at Verona’s many times. It never disappoints. The petrale sole has been especially good lately. Also had a great martini! Megan is a terrific server!
