Went there for brunch. Staff was attentive right at the beginning, but then wasn't really around for refills after we got our food. Checked on us 1 time.

Food was very basic. Avocado toast didn't have much flavor. Waffles were nothing really fancy. Wagyu Truffle burger had very little to no truffle flavor. Salads were really small. Challah French Toast was good, but again, nothing fancy.

This used to be my absolute favorite diner, but lately the menu changes have been disappointing.

The first time I came, I had the best shoestring fries I’ve ever had—crisp, thin, and perfect. The next time I came back, they had already been swapped out for regular fries. Still, I became a regular and found my go-to favorites: the Cuban, the short rib tacos, and the short rib grilled cheese.

When I came in today, all of those items were gone from the menu. I ended up just having a coffee and leaving. Removing staples like slow-cooked pork or beef feels like an odd choice. I understand times are hard for restaurants and costs are high, but those dishes are what made Verona unique and worth seeking out.

Shrimp tacos or regular burgers I can get at any diner. Please seriously consider bringing back the old menu items that set you apart.

Came here on a Wednesday night, and the restaurant was mostly empty, which made for a relaxing meal. We were greeted and seated immediately upon walking in. The menu offers a little bit of everything, and they also had some specials if you’re looking for something off-menu.

I have to say, the service was excellent—friendly and attentive. The place has a cozy, upscale diner vibe, which added to the overall experience.

As for the food, it was solid. I ordered the steak frites. The steak was cooked perfectly, which is impressive considering it wasn’t a thick cut. I would have given five stars, but I think a different cut of steak would have elevated the dish, especially for the price.

Love the new reopening . Food is delightful & ambiance warmer than prior place . Been there 3 times & returning. Burgers are delicious & the grilled cheese with tomato soup& special fries is my fave.

Love this spot! Owner is so lovely and kind. Food of course is excellent every time we go. We hosted a large dinner party here and it was also amazing. Just so much care both for our guests and the food. 5-stars every time we go (I do wish they would slightly “enhance” the lighting and or decor a tiny bit (impactful wall paper maybe?) just to match the menu and everything else. In other words, it’s quite casual by decor and just a couple small touches would elevate this / more cool factor to make this even more sublime. Xx

My boyfriend tried the pasta penne with chicken and had a difficult time eating as it was very chewy chicken and quite fatty.
He was told it was vodka sauce but it was some sort of meat sauce.
This is a Mediterranean place with Mediterranean dishes.

This is such a great place! We are in town for our daughter's college orientation and were looking for places to eat. This came up and the reviews were so good so we tried it out. It is a stand alone restaurant in an adorable downtown area. Our waitress was super friendly. She read specials for the evening. We had tuna tartar and crab stuffed mushrooms, mushrooms were a special. Appetizers came out right away and were delicious. For main meals we had pasta bolognese, steak frites, shrimp tacos and carbonara burger. It was all amazing. Highly recommend this place!! If in the area try it out we are definitely going to come back!

Great food

Food was awesome. I tend to find places with smaller more focused menus the kitchen understands what they do well. I was annoyed I couldn’t get a beer but I’m an out of towner and didn’t realize Verona Inn was literally a block away. Service was nice. Plenty of time to chat and relax with no pressure to clear the table. Prices were a bit high but that’s everyone now.
