La Veranda Italian

What a really beautiful place, one that is a perfect example of hidden gem, as I am from La Veranda many times, but so far not to stop, dine and enjoy it. The fact that she's been here and in business for 37 years is proof that they've always done things right. After I made my way through a beautiful veranda/terrace like area and entered the door, I immediately became a warm welcome not only by the owner, but also by his properly dressed perfectly well maintained staff.

Have you ever played the game charades where you act out the word on the card? The word on the card here was Love. My wife and I brought our newborn son here to celebrate at our favorite Italian restaurant. We were waiting for a table and the owner or manager came over to ask which table we would prefer, he then welcomed and sat us at our table like it was his home.

Absolutely fantastic! The waitress was very friendly and professional and a great help in stimulating delicious menu items. Our server made us delicious cocktails that were even from the menu! Our glasses were never empty and the food is delicious. We ordered the caprese, chicken Francesea, seafood Linguini and tiramisu. The house made mozzarella diving and the Francesca sauce was perfect zesty. The tiramisu could have stolen the night highly recommended! Prices are very reasonable in view of the large portion sizes and the high-quality ingredients.

My friend and I went there on a Thursday to enjoy the music and not have a big Saturday night crowd. The service and the food were excellent. Beautiful ambience with a table near the fireplace. We shared to order Tortellini with peas and Prosciutto then had to chop herbs roasted lamb, served with garlic potato and asparagus. Both dishes were absolutely delicious, especially the spices on the lamb chops. The service was very good – they were there whenever you needed anything. We finished with Italian cheesecake and that was also good. The music was pleasant with volume exactly right so you could have a conversation at your table.

Service is iffy. Chocolate cake was bomb. Too dark. Needs more light. Pink lighting was rad.
