Velma Restaurant is a charming neighborhood gem with friendly staff and good food. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including a standout burger, chicken parm special with hot cherry peppers, and creamy pasta. The space has a cozy, eclectic vibe with different types of seating and a unique “m” shaped bar that allows for smooth flow and good visual separation between the bar and table areas. Decor features old Italian style red checkered tablecloths with paper on top, deep greens, and interesting textures. Behind the bar, there are decorations like old license plates and trucker hats, giving it a lively, organized feel reminiscent of Scorpion Records. The wine list is good, and drinks like the "Diesel" cocktail balance sweet and strong flavors. Guests enjoy the range of pizzas, including the mushroom "Funghi" pizza with whole mushrooms on top. Many visitors praise the meatballs for their great texture, slight spiciness, and classic red sauce. The pasta, such as the creamy vodka lumache, is cooked al dente, though some find the sauce not as spicy or creamy as expected. Whether for an intimate dinner or a fun night out with friends, Velma Restaurant is a popular choice, offering a cozy atmosphere and tasty dishes that keep guests coming back.
