    A French chef reinventing Italian cuisine. Best italian dinner we ever had. And this includes various trips to Italy. Oh, and the Parmegiano was freshly greated at the table.

    The food was amazing and the service was excellent. I went with 5 other people and we were taken care of beautifully and fed very well. The food wasn't too expensive for what we got, considering the prices these days, but it was somewhere between moderately priced and mildly expensive - we thought it was well worth it, though!

    I have bene to Cafe Verona several times, mostly prior to COVID, where the food and service was delightful. We have since been twice after they reopened, and their food has been mediocre and the service has been disappointing. There was only one other table in the entire restaurant and still the waitstaff were not attentive. The food was dry and seemed like it was reheated. We are very disappointed because this used to be a local favorite.

    NEVER TO RETURN! TOOK 2 HOURS TO GET OUR FOOD! My salmon was burned to a dry crisp. Our friend ordered fettuccine Alfredo, however, there was no Alfredo sauce on the pasta. 🙁 We will never go to Cafe Verona again. McDonalds would be a step up.
