My husband and I have driven past a few times and I said let's stop in there for lunch. I am so glad we did. It was not busy and the food came out right away. Perfect because I wanted Greek and he wanted Italian. I had the chicken pita sandwich with extra tzatziki. Very yummy. My husband had the meat ravioli with meat sauce, he finished his plate and then use the breadsticks sop up the sauce. The price was fantastic, our waitress was very lovely and it really is a cute little place. We will definitely be going back. read more

This is based on a take out only. We ate here years ago when they were in a different location and it wasn't too bad , so we decided to pick something up fast it was too early to eat our dinner but too late for lunch. Heard a lot of negative comments so we thought we would gave it a try. Ordered fried pickles. They were hard and freezer burned. Was not happy at all. They give a small container of ranch . Much Smaller than most places. We didn't eat them all they were not good at all, but we had already left when we opened them or I would have brought back. The place wasn't busy when we went in. I doubt we would go back We. don't go near this location at all anymore. There's another location on the main road and we've been there many times the food is amazing. It's more convenient. We will stick with that one. read more

My husband was craving Italian so we came to Bella Verona. It's a cute little restaurant with typical Italian and Greek decor. We were seated right away and our waitress, Jennifer, got our drink order as soon as we sat down. Jennifer asked if we wanted garlic butter on our basket of breadsticks and of course we said, "Yes, please!" I ordered the Bella Verona Sampler which comes with mozzarella sticks, fried mushrooms, stuffed jalapeños, onion rings and chicken fingers. My husband ordered the Meat Ravioli with meat sauce and it came with a salad. We ate the garlic buttered breadsticks and salad before I even thought to take a picture. They were that good! Haha. The sampler was amazing! They give you marinara for the mozzarella sticks and your choice of a dipping sauce for the chicken strips. I chose bbq sauce and it was really good. My husband ate half of the fried mushrooms and I ate the rest of the sampler plate! My husband also licked his plate of meat ravioli clean! Everything was delicious. We will definitely become regulars and try everything. read more

Oh my goodness! We ordered from here over the weekend and then again last night we tried their pizza. It should be said we are from Chicago originally, we know pizza. Their pizza is awesome! It's a bit like NY pizza but without the dripping cascade of grease. So so good. We ate that and a repeat order of Garlic Cheese Bread, to which we are both addicted. Hubby also was raving about the Garlic Parmesan wings. Best EVER he said. One constructive: under the Cheese pizza heading it shows a pizza with olives, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. I was confused. But! We will return!!!!!!! read more

An amazing spot in Shelby for Greek and Italian food. From the gyro to pizza and pasta it is all fantastic

We go here all the time and they never disappoint! Karim is one of the BEST waiters you can have! Food is always delicious and just a good overall environment. read more

I love this place! The pizzas, gyros, wings, lasagna, all of it. Always great service from Jennifer and Cyndi and the owners are hospitable and take their customers seriously. Highly recommend. read more

I'm done with this place. My wife asked for an extra ranch and the checkout guy got all huffy about it. We were perfectly willing to pay for it. I'm not going to spend money at places where they consider customers an annoyance. read more

The son of owner is very rude! While I understand food cost is expensive it is very ridiculous to give TWO small 2oz cups of sauce with 24 wings!!! read more

The food used to be good but they must of gotten a new chef because when we ordered the pizza the DOUGH was not cooked properly .Never ordering from here again.HIRE A NEW CHEF read more

Picked up food here because it was nearby our hotel. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo and it came with bread and salad on the side. The salad was good, the ranch tastes like wingstop ranch which was delicious. The pasta had good flavor no complaints! The bread was soft but needed some butter and flavor. read more

Bella Verona (not to be confused with Verona's of East Dixon) is one of our favorite places to go. Lyric is always happy to take great care of everyone, and the food shows the pride that the owner has in his establishment! There are rarely mistakes, but they are quick and eager to make things right if there ever is any issue. We have been regulars because of the service and quality of food that we have always received, and will continue to be. Amazing people, amazing place! read more

ordered shrimp Alfredo and it didn't have no seasoning on the shrimp and it seemed undone barely even ate it and the server didn't want to take it back or take it off my ticket or didn't even ask why I didn't want it. I won't be back. read more

Great food and friendly service! Fast service as well. The grilled chicken salad is great!

Verona is a cool little place with good pizza and kind staff. I am visiting NC and this was listed on a place to eat again. I will be back.

They have good-tasting food. I try just about everything on the menu. The atmosphere is very nice and the ppl are great. You will enjoy coming here. read more

Verona is one of those spots that never fails to surpass expectations. The menu is great, Italian, American, and Greek all in one location. Small seating area but plenty of room and great service for our usual Sunday lunch group of 10+. The service is always very courteous and accommodating even for our typically large and boisterous group. If you haven't been to Verona I urge you to try it, you will be delighted that you visited and sampled. I've heard that they are moving soon to another location not far away in an adjacent shopping center. This new location will provide them with better visibility and more room. I'm glad to see good locally owned businesses succeeding and growing! read more

I got the steak and cheese sandwich, it's was $13. I will say it was a little overpriced for what it was. The sandwich was warm but the steak was steak-um's and the cheese wasn't all that melted. The service was good, I just felt very rushed, there were many people in there though so it's understandable. But some of the food is a little overpriced for such small portions. read more

Tasty gyro platter, lasagna, Italian subway and table bread. Fast and friendly service, will return to try more dishes when in town. read more

absolutely love the food!! Everyone is always friendly. The stuffed shells are the best ever.

This place served us meat sauce for a vegetarian eggplant meal. That is the most ultimate disrespect a food industry can do... my wife is throwing up as we speak....I want to report to state health inspection board.... read more

This whole in the wall gets 5 stars for food. Consistently delicious! Super fast service. Food to go is HOT and packaged well. If this owner hired a designer and front end manager...they would definitely need to expand. By far...some of the most well prepared food in Shelby, NC. Will continue to eat here! Great flavors! read more

Passing through Shelby and saw their sign that says they serve Greek and Italian foods. I was wanting Greek so decided to stop for lunch. The restaurant is in the corner of a strip mall parking lot. The outside of the restaurant looks a bit sketchy to me. The windows had that silver film to cut light into the building, so I could not see inside. That's sketchy to me, not being able to see inside, but decided not to judge a book by its cover. I walked in and saw a busy restaurant, nicely decorated. When a saw a large table of probably church ladies, I seated myself. I do say church ladies because I noticed a sign on the wall offering 10% discount with church bulletin. There were other booths with people and also customers waiting for take away food. In short time a waitress brought a menu and asked my drink order. While she was getting my water, the church ladies' food was delivered. I noticed they mostly ordered Italian. There were a couple that ordered the Philly cheese steak. Looking at the menu there are lunch specials with great prices. I think all prices were very reasonable. The waitress brought my water and a basket of free warm breadsticks with butter. I ended up ordering the Philly cheese steak with fries. It was probably the best cheese steak outside of Philly that I had ever had. The meat was finely chopped and seasoned well. The hoagie roll was soft, but substantial enough hold the juicy insides. The waitress was very friendly and attentive even though the place was pretty busy. Don't judge a book by its cover. I will return again sometime and maybe then I will try the Greek food. read more

We were staying at a hotel and wanted to get carry out and decided on this place. The food was decent, but the man (owner?) manning the register was VERY unfriendly. There was no silverware and napkins put in the bag either. Hence the three stars. I'm big on customer service and always try to be pleasant to servers, etc., but this man really was not responsive. read more

When the salad from Sunday lunch was so fresh you eat it Monday night and it's still crisp. So much food and excellent service!!!!

Best wings in Shelby hands down. I had heard that they were good and decided to give them a try after the third person had raved about them. They were not wrong. Just the right crispness and cooked to perfection. I ordered mild sauce and it was perfect. Can't wait to try other flavors and I have found chicken wing paradise! read more

Wow I really am floored. I just moved up here a few months ago and I ordered a pizza from you. It was amazing. It tastes like back home in NY. read more

Best Pizza i have had in a long long time! Thank you Verona! Wow! I was just talking to my wife before i ordered, "why cant we find good pizza anymore?" I remember when every pizza you got seemed to be good fresh pizza but somewhere that went away in the last 20 some odd years. I have a stomach issue and have to have GOOD food or i just piddle with it. I get nauseated many times after eating something not so tasty, but the first bite i knew i had found my new fav pizza place. Believe it or not but that is a very exciting thing for me. I have lost so much weight with this issue and need more GOOD stuff to eat. The surgery i had unfortunately prevents me from vomiting, so the body protects me by a tightened ability to smell if something is not fresh.. from start to finish, nothing but good smell and taste. Thank you Verona from the bottom of my heart! Its really a BIG deal to me that you serve fresh tasty pizza! I do not leave many reviews, but Just had to here! Thanks Curt Collins read more

Third time here. We had probably the nicest/friendliest waitress we've had all year in Shelby; she joked around with our kids and made them laugh. Good, attentive server. The restaurant is fairly small and located right next door to Sumo. Nothing fancy, mostly function. The food - the pizza is good - lots of cheese and tasty crust. My eggplant parmesan sub was huge and came with crispy fries; the eggplant itself was a little greasy, but the sauce and cheese balanced it out. The kids spaghetti with meat sauce was "waterlogged" - that pasta thats been twice cooked and verging on mushy. The cheesesteak was just okay. Last visit I had a Gyro and it was great. So, basically, most the food is 3 stars with some 4 star exceptions, but the service is a solid 4. I hear good things about their wings. Gonna try them next !! read more

Awesome Philly cheesesteak! Staff is super friendly and simple, reasonably priced, good food with the variety needed for a group!

Every time I call to place an order on the weekend I can never get an answer like they keep their phone disconnected and want answer it

This was the second time I ate here and said I would not be back after the first time. I wanted spaghetti with meat sauce and extra meat sauce, what a bummer, will never return. How hard is it to add seasoning so there is some flavor in the food. Salad was not any better, one slice of tomato and a few shavings of a carrot. read more

Food is ok. Wait staff definitely could be better. Gets my order wrong every time with takeout. The last time we ate in we practically had to beg for normal things like a menu, straws, crackers for the salad, bill, etc. They will definitely keep you waiting. read more

Just went to this restaurant for the second time. The first time was ok, food was good, service not as good. But this time it was the worst. Our waitress, when she come to take our order smelt like marijuana (Which I happen to be allergic too) my eyes started burning and watering because the smell was so strong and sinus immediately stopped up. After bringing out our appetizer, I watched our waitress blow her nose and then did not go and wash her hands. We were finished. We spoke with the manager who tried to make it right by comping our meal and remade our food made by him only and put it in a to go box. We will not be returning. I would have given them a zero but you have to give a one. read more

So after ordering and consuming: 1/2 a gyro platter A couple fried mushrooms And some Pita bread I spent the last 4 hours violently hurling (which I considered posting a picture of my vomit filled toilet, but ultimately opted not to). And now have the most hideous stenches are escaping from my ass!!! My stomach feels better but holy jesus was I excruciatingly nauseous about 40 minutes after I finished eating. Too bad because initially it actually tasted decent. Not worth the $20 or the 25 minute drive but decent. This was my first and only meal of the day so I know it was this. I'm not sure what happened to be honest I know I won't be back. read more

Friendly wait staff, wonderfully rich pizzas and pasta. The stuffed crust pizza is the most meaty, cheesy thing you've ever put in your mouth. The wings used to be the best around, but the sauce has changed over the years. The last time we got wings they were, well... damp. The sauce is no longer tangy and clove-flavored, but is now thin and unimpressive. This used to be one of my favorite places, but the sauce change has left me underwhelmed these days. read more

I have always enjoyed the Verona's gyro sandwiches and Greek salad dressing. But today was my last visit. I got a gyro and side salad for lunch. The bag was tied up when I left and I did not check it. When I opened the salad container at my office desk, a ROACH was crawling on top of the lettuce! Needless to say, I threw the whole thing out and was glad I had not bitten into my sandwich yet. No more Verona for me... read more
