A beautifully decorated restaurant with excellent food, fast service and reasonable prices. If I were to be very critical I would suggest that they change the background music away from jazz, which starts to grate a little after the second time through, but this is the only criticism I can make.

This is a good Italian place. The terrace is amazing. And the quality is good. I had the chicken Parmesan and it was very good!

We tried Cafe Verona on a romantic getaway trip. Food was good not great. Outside seating wasn't as clean as it should have been. Desert was good.

My boyfriend and I had a romantic candle lit dinner at this lovely Italian Restaurant. Our steaks were cooked to perfection. We enjoyed a few cocktails, and enjoyed a chat with our friendly server who educated us on the history of the building. He also shared a few ghost stories with us. Apparently, the place has some ghost activity.

The gnocchi were not light and the pesto lacked fragrance. The tomato paste in the lasagne was not cooked down and had a rawness to it.

Food was adequate but not special. Restaurant was not busy and wanted to close much earlier than the stated hours. Hence we felt very rushed.
