Verona American Grill — Restaurant in Verona

From the outside, it looks like a small little diner. When you enter, it is a very different vibe, with one reviewer on their website calling it a new modern/american diner. Great care and thought went into the customer experience - the colors in the restaurant, the design elements, the flatware, glasses, the plates, the flowers, candles on the tables, and even the ice in the drinks. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. My salmon and string beans were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were the creamiest mashed potatoes I've ever eaten. My boyfriend got the Wagyu Burger, with parmesan fries, and said it was one of the top two best burgers he's ever eaten, and the fries were crispy and delicious. We tried the walnut cake for dessert, and we were not disappointed. It was phenomenal. My son was coming over for dinner the next night, so we brought home walnut cake, brownies, and orange cake for him to try. All of them were amazing. I also have to say that the service...

We had several people mention that place so we decided to go for a dinner and what a disappointment it was! It was an early Saturday night . We were really hungry. Herb fried mozzarella was noticeable either from a frozen supermarket section or fried in a terrible quality many-times-used before oil. It was despicable. The lamb shank I ordered was not fresh , the cheapest veggies (carrots and zucchini) and orzo. Gosh, how sad. My husband's french filet mignon was really bad. He ordered it with mash potatoes which came....from the box. I mean, how difficult it is to cook real mash potatoes, not from a dry starch. One does not need any skills to do it. My husband could not eat it, so he asked for a piece of bread. We got charged for it! I asked if they had ANY deserts that were made in-house. It was a rice pudding. We did not dare to try. Needless to say, first and last time in this place. Unreasonably expensive too. That terrible dinner cost us $100 (before tip). One appetizer and two very very...

Don't let the diner vibes fool you - this place is super well crafted food, atmosphere, and service. The staff go out of their way to provide great service, the decor is tranquil Mediterranean blue farmhouse, and I can't quite put my finger on what about the food was so exceptional. It's not that the menu is all that unique, just made really well. The hummus plate was perfectly composed with olive oil and seasoning and toasted pita. The crunchy burger was over the top with crunchy onions and creamy avocado. The onion soup walked the line between salty and sweet just right. The flatbread was something extra with ricotta and balsamic glaze and prosciutto. The kids meals came with a fruit cup that had 6 different kinds of fruit (you feel me right? kids meal fruit cups are always 90% melon). Even the strawberry lemonade was just somehow the best I've had. Get over here before the word gets out and they get their...
