I grew up in the Lansingburgh area so I've known about Verdiles for many years. For those that do not know Verdiles, it is a family run restaurant and back when they first started it was their mother who made the pasta sauce and meatballs. Her recipes are still used today. I love going there, the staff is very warm and welcoming. Everyone is treated like family. The atmosphere reminds me of a 1960's Italian restaurant. They have made many updates and changes to the restaurant but it still has that vibe. I love looking at all the pictures of the Verdiles family that are around the restaurant. I recommend their homemade pasta with your meal. Great food, great atmosphere and great service. You can't go wrong.

Verdile's has been added to the state historic registry. Ever since that happened earlier this year, my husband and I talked about going back for a meal. We finally made it. The restaurant opens at 3pm. We got there at 3:30pm on a Saturday and the parking lot was pretty packed. As soon as you walk through the front entrance, there's a large sign at the bar that reads, "1943." That's the year Verdile's opened and after seeing that sign you'll never forget it. Since we didn't have reservations, we sat at the bar near the large screen tv. There's also plenty of tables. String lights serve as decoration around the windows. I think the meal we were eating was an early dinner. A lot of work went into the preparation which took about a half hour. I ordered Chicken Marsala. My favorite. There's all sorts of side dishes and flexibility. I asked for two vegetables. My husband ordered Veal Gallo with ziti. He said it was cooked perfectly. TJ was tending bar. He was friendly and efficient. He took our orders right away. When he served the beer, offered my husband a chilled glass, which made him happy. Details like that are important to him. Somehow my husband thought we still had room for dessert even though we hadn't finish our entrees. TJ pointed out that the carrot cake was made on premises and that the slice was big, big enough to share. When he served up the slice, we were in shock and he was smiling. It was the biggest slice of cake we'd ever seen. In fact, everyone at the bar had something to say about it. The man seated to the right of my husband remarked, " You could feed seven people with that." He was probably right. Everyone at the bar laughed. We had a lot of leftovers to take home and eat the next day. It was a fun and delicious meal.

What the heck happened to the food here. Ordered pickup and it was just horrendeous. Chicken parm. Ziti, and a pizza. The only thing that was ok was the Belinapoli bread.

I came up from Queens on my birthday. Verdile's is an old school Italian restaurant like back in the day in Ozone Park. The sauce (not gravy) was homemade. The calamari was excellent. The seafood cacciatore was delicious. The carrot cake was a treat. Service was personal and very kind.Worth the trip. I think the restaurant has been around since 1943 for a very good reason. It's not fancy but it doesn't have to be. A real gem from another era!I will be returning the next time I visit Troy. It's an absolute treasure of the city.

Ordered take out here for the first time at a little before 8pm on a Sunday. Never eaten here before. Online ordering was easy, restaurant called to confirm 1 portion of our order. Was very polite on the phone and just as polite and friendly when we picked up the order. The "slice" of carrot cake on top was shocking. It was HUGE! Definitely 6 portions, we were very happy lol. The rest of the food was good, and I imagine it would be even better served fresh in the restaurant.Overall, happy with the experience and will order again in the future.

I went here last night. One of the best Italian restaurants in the area. Love the food.
The spaghetti was dry and the fettuccine noodles didn't seem to be cooked all the way. I did not enjoy any of it.

My friend and I went here for dinner last night. If was a Friday and we arrived a little after 6pm. We didn't have to wait for a table. We ordered the fried oysters for an appetizer. They were served with cocktail, tarter and wedged lemon. The coating was a batter dip, not bread crumbs which I was very happy about. They were cooked perfectly and fell apart with a fork. They were fantastic!My friend ordered a pasta dish w linguini, shrimp and spinach in a garlic wine sauce, and I the Lobster Ravioli. I got 7 raviolis in a very tasty tomato cream sauce. My friends linquini was overcooked and mushy, and without very many small shrimp. I would've been more pleased with a few more raviolis, Maybe make the dish an even 12 pieces, instead of 7. It may sound petty, but little things make all the difference in my opinion.We ordered the carrot cake for dessert on the recommendation of our waiter. It was a huge piece, suitabe for up to 4 people, however it was dry and overcooked.Our waiter was excellent, incorporating alot of knowledge about the food selection and bit of humor into our dining experience which made it pleasant.When all is said and done, it will be a while before I return.

Best Chicken Parmigiana I've ever had. Great service friendly waiters soft lighting. Delicious martinis, get the salad's with blue cheese and their carrot cake rocks

The service was very good. I enjoyed the "old Italian restaurant" feel, but the food was not worth the price. The Chicken Marsala was ok, but the veggie side dishes seemed to have been just scooped out of a can and microwaved. 1 bite of each was more than enough. We also tried Ravioli with an order of meatballs. The meatballs were large, but lacked flavor. The salad was fresh, but a small side salad was requested and we were told that they don't do that, so it ended up being quite expensive, since only 1 of us was having salad. We didn't think to ask for 2 plates to share it.
