I was very disappointed, poor service, cold atmosphere, mediocre food, expensive drinks 80% on ice!!! I definitely have a bad dinner, my first and last time in this restaurant!

First time visit to Verdile's Restaurant in Troy, NY Sun 3/16/25 6pm. Highly recommended by our daughter & her man. So we accepted their invitation. This is a family owned restaurant for 80+ years. Consistently wins "Best of" awards locally. Thought they made reservations, dining was full of reservations. We opted to sit at a table in the bar area. Good options as Peter the bartender was also or server. Our drinks were Peroni on tap ($7) & Malbecs ($10ea). Menu is Italian-American. They offer 4 soups ($4cup/$5bowl), apps $8-16, salads $12/16, antipasto $20 & 25. Pizza $11-17. Pasta $18-25 note: you can make your own pasta plate from 8 pastas & 6 sauces ($15-18). Many other dinners eggplant, chicken & veal parmigiana, scampi, alfredo, piccatta, etc. Also steaks & seafood are offered. Our choices were Fettuccine Alfredo w/shrimp ($19), Chicken Piccatta ($26), Shrimp Scampi ($25), & House Specialty Chicken Scarpariello, chicken, broccoli, sausage, vinegar peppers in a garlic & olive oil sauce ($28) - Scarpariello is a rarely found on menus and it was Perfecto! All dinners were served hot to the table. Italian bread served w/ meals. All dinners are served with side of spaghetti or a choice of 2 sides. Hate to nitpick on just one thing that we thought you could do better - the Italian greens were mushy. Now to dessert. Some patrons come here just for Chef Vinnie's Award Winning Carrot Cake. Huge slice, enough for two ($11). Check the webpage for a photo of this treat. Plenty of off street parking, clean restrooms, very comfortable bar area. Great first time visit. Thank you Peter & staff. Kitchen did a great job. We will be back for sure. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY

Went with my party of 3, we got calamari as an appetizer and it was highly disappointing. The calamari was completely flavorless. We also got chicken parm and spaghetti which was enjoyed, however the pasta la verdile which was in garlic butter sauce was also completely flavorless. The filet was barely edible, I ordered it medium well (due to pregnancy, don't want to take any chances) and it was flavorless, tough, and inedible. Overall, very disappointing and not worth it.
Parking: A small lot with limited spaces, if you go early you'll get one! A lot of street parking, just made a little more difficult in winter with snow piles.

Hat a great, place. The food was all around awsome. Much of the food is family style and is perfect to share with our entire party. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a quiet Italian restaurant to be able to spend time , eat and talk and enjoy each other's company. We will be going back

The booth they put us in was way too small for four people. Our waitress was nice, but a little standoffish, and acted as if she didn't want to be there on a Friday night. The flavor of the food was very good, however, My chicken parm dinner didn't come with either a soup or a salad like I would have expected, and looked tiny compared to the veal parmasan cutlet delivered to the person across the table from me, which literally filled the entire plate. As to the price / value factor, I can not attest since I was a guest at a birthday dinner, so please take my review with a grain of salt. I will say, the chocolate cake we had for dessert was delicious !

Wonderful old restaurant that has been in the community for over 100 years. Chicken parm and steak was delicious. And, even if you don't have room, get the carrot cake to-go, you'll eat it for days!!

My husband and I had an exceptional first experience at Verdiles this evening. Our waiter Steve was very attentive and personable. The food was delicious and the atmosphere very comfortable. We will definitely be dinning here again in the future. I will be recommending this restaurant to our family and friends

I dined with my son from college. The waitress was nice, professional and very accommodating. My only complaint and reason for 4 stars on the food was the side dishes of roasted potatoes and Italian greens that came with my entree. The potatoes were very small and lots if burnt ends in my dish. The greens had an off taste due to the cheese the chef put in. I make spinach with garlic, olive oil, and Romano cheese that tastes very good. I'm not sure if the chef used a stronger cheese or the cheese was bad. Other than that, the appetizer, entrees and dessert were very good.
