Enjoyed a nice Wednesday dinner with a friend at VERACE. For a Wednesday it was busy, great atmosphere, good service & delicious food. We made sure to tip the server 60% on the bill. Great evening. Thank You - JayT - @

I booked my birthday event here. I was in communication with staff days before the event to inquire about dietary restrictions.Over the phone, it sounded amazing! Anything I requested they ensured I would be fine. From dinner accommodations to dessert - I was so happy!Once arriving, our waiter had to be debriefed on everything from the host and then again from me. Even though I already booked a week in advance and spoke to multiple people that myself and another guest were vegan/plant-based and would need to be accommodated.Mind you, I could have went somewhere else but they insisted to let them take care of me.When it came time to order, my server then went on to say that they don’t have much to offer except the salads - which I thought was rude but remained unbothered. I then explained that I was told they COULD make any dish vegan/plant based. He said he would ask the chef. I quickly settled on a mushroom risotto because I didn’t want to complicate things and they told me on the phone (once again) that a risotto, pizza, pasta ect would be no problem to recreate.They brought me a risotto that didn’t resemble mushroom risotto at all… it was rice, with mixed vegetables in soup broth. The most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I politely let the server know that it wasn’t edible and I would be satisfied with just rigatoni noodles, red sauce and mushrooms. I emphasized garlic, onion and basil would be great too because I didn’t want them to skip out on the flavour or the experience once again.He brought the pasta to the table, no basil so I had to request some on the side. He brought it. Thankfully the pasta was good cause I was starving at this point lol.My guests were unhappy with their meals as well saying it lacked flavour or any flare which made me feel crappy because I could have went to a vegan restaurant but I realize that not everyone eats the same as me, and I wanted to be considerate. I’ve only heard great things about this place but don’t understand why.To top it off, the server ended the night by bringing me crème brûlée -_____- I reminded him I cannot eat diary but thank-you so much. I mentioned to him that I was told they had vegan gelato for dessert. He said they ran out……….Terrible birthday dinner. Only reason I would come back is for a cocktail. The bartenders deserve a raise because that’s the most balanced cocktail I’ve ever tasted and I think it’s worth mentioning.To whoever reads this and cares, please be real about what you can and cannot accommodate. Please be considerate of guests celebrating birthdays. & please train servers to exude excellent customer service regardless of who they are serving.The bill was hundreds of dollars and we still left a nice tip but… I felt robbed.Would not recommend… except for drinks!Thanks for reading.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing. Authentic Italian pasta, cuisine and pizza. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Our waitress Maria, gave some fantastic suggestions on a pasta to try and pizza. The pasta was so delicious and flavourful, the sauce was incredible. The pizza was so amazing as well, nothing like authentic Italian pizza which is apparently certified as authentic. We also shared a Tiramisu for desert, was so mouth watering, best I have ever had, served with diced strawberries and blueberries on top. My girlfriend and I shared both entrees and she had a glass of wine. We spent 110$ including tip. They also served a bread with garlic, rosemary and sea salt, it was delicious. Cant say enough great things about our experience. Make a reservation as this place is extremely well known and busy. We used the OpenTable app and made a reservation while outside the restaurant, it worked perfectly and we walked right in and sat down immediately. Thank you Verace for an incredible meal and hospitality.

an accommodating menu for many types of diets and the service is kind and attentive.the food is very mid - out of all the courses the dessert items were the real stars. the gnocchi were disappointing; too much flour which makes them chewy and taste like flour, and were too largely cut for how much chewing they required.the pizza was decent enough and actually spicy (diavola) which was nice.the fungi risotto smelled nicely of truffle but ended up kinda bland on the palette.the portions were fair, nothing was too small or not enough, and everyone at the table ate well. overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Wine selection was very good. Service was quite attentive. Food portion was more than adequate. I'd say this is an elegant place for a special occasion. Kudos!

An unforgettable experience with impeccable service and gorgeous dishes only exception being lackluster desserts.Calamari Fritti is our family favourite and this simple dish was elevated to gourmet experience by Versace.. the produce was fresh and the dish perfectly cooked. Grilled octopus dish with assorted vegetables was another hit. We tried their Fungi pizza as recommended by our wonderful server Jenn and it turned out to be rather good, the chewy texture combined with garlicky undertones and gooey cheese and roasted wild mushrooms created a storm of umami flavours. For desserts we ordered Crème brûlée and Belgian flourless cake along with some amazing coffee . Those were the only two orders that left us wanting for more, both being rather average for a place that is serving such a great fare. Otherwise the Food is a perfect 5. There also need to add to add some mocktails on the menu . We plan to visit this place again to try loads of other offerings on the menu!!
