Veranda Italian Restaurant — Restaurant in Paralimni

started off bad with a terrible Martini. Asked extra dry, they served me what seemed like a glass of vermouth. I had the rib-eye steak. Server and cook would not let me get any less than Medium doneness… steak was over cooked and pretty tasteless with an average salad as a side. Wife had octopus black linguine. Octopus was over cooked. Only reason I’m not giving 1 star is because my wife’s appetizer was good, seafood soup. There are honestly some much better places to go. Way too expensive for...
