The food is always delicious. They’ve become so popular that dinner time is extremely busy on the weekends. Staff were pulled many directions, causing orders to be delayed and/or missed. We were out in the patio so it was a bit chilly but the plus was we could actually have a conversation.

As always, the meal was outstanding! Everyone in our party had pasta as their entree. And everyone agreed it was perfection! The balsamic vinegar (which they sell), was addictive, paired with the olive oil and bread! The dessert also was divine and hit the mark!

As always, Verona’s makes us feel like family with excellent and attentive service and with the best Italian food in town. My husband had the exquisite Sea Bass special, I had their famous Lasagna and they made special, off-the-menu Tortellini Alfredo for our son. Then we gorged on the best homemade Tiramisu and I had a wonderful Cafe Verona with my dessert. Always a wonderful experience ❤️ highly recommend if you’ve never been.

Great food and ambience. It’s to bad they don’t have a bus boy to pickup plates in between courses.
