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.

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 !

Food lacked flavor. We ordered chicken Parmesan and just plain spaghetti and tomato sauce with mushroom.

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.
Service was fine. Place was nice inside.we got chicken parm and fettuccine Alfredo. Both were not edible at all actually disgusting. Would never recommend to anyone

We stopped here based solely on the posted reviews. I wish I could echo those reviews but unfortunately I cant. We arrived and found ample parking and a friendly hostess who seated us. We were greeted by a terrific waitstaff that was both polite and attentive. Sounds great so far. We were excited that we found this hidden gem in this undesirable neighborhood in Troy. Which is not uncommon for long established restaurants. We ordered a large salad for 2 that had a good variety of mixed greens and veggies. Our drinks were fresh and the service was fast. Fantastic right? Thats where all that good ended. I ordered the Veal Parmesan with spaghetti and my wife had the Chicken Picotta with the potatoes and italian greens. The Veal as described on the menu says "free range and hand cut" so I was ready for a treat. What I received instead was a piece of veal that was deep fried probably along with some cod which made it taste like fish. Heavily breaded and chewy made this dish pathetic. That along with a red sauce that came on top was simply unpalatable. In my lifetime, I like many of you reading have eaten Italian food just about everywhere both good and bad. I'm only writing this review as the was hands down the worst red sauce/gravy I've ever ingested. As I wasn't eating the Veal after the first couple of bites I focused on the bread and pasta to eat something as I was hungry. I scraped off the red sauce and had 1 bite only to realize the water that the pasta was cooked in gave off a funky mold flavor so I ate the bread. My wife's Chicken Picotta had a watery brown sauce and they used can mushrooms. Her potatoes were dry and tasteless and her italian greens lifeless and foul smelling. I would never write such a nasty review, all truthful of course but in my 62 + years this was the worst meal Ive ever had and ive had plenty of bad meals. $71.00 plus tip and a trip to get ice cream afterward to get the taste out of my mouth.

You cannot visit this place and not get their home made pasta. The spaghetti is absolutely amazing. Everything else, from the bread to the generous salads is good too, but I don't think I've had better spaghetti. The service is exemplary and prices are reasonable.
