We waited at a random table because there were no seats at the bar. After 20 minutes they took us down to the basement where we sat alone. They said they didn't expect to be that busy that night but it was a random Friday night, but it seemed like they just overbooked and didn't really care about us. If it wasn't a pain to find parking and absolutely pouring, I probably would have left, the vibes were weird. Our waitress was really nice as was the busboy/food runner and made some good recommendations on the menu. Everything we had was decent enough, but not mind-blowing. I'd come back but not clamoring to come back right away.

I got the French onion soup, clam pasta, and banana pie, while he opted for the Caesar salad, pork chop, and cheesecake. Everything was fantastic other than the cheesecake We say in a booth, but it was fairly uncomfortable & stiff.

It took over half hour to get a fried calamari that I thought would have red sauce on the side (and topped with Gorgonzola and fried cherry peppers) but somehow .... They put the calamari over the red sauce and then cover it with the toppings and somehow .... Garlic aioli? The grease glistened of their overly browned rings of fried calamari. Their bread was average. Not warm. Nothing special. The salad that my entree came with had one half of a cherry tomato and one slice of cucumber with a weird red looking dressing on the side that i was told was "peppercorn." My entree wasn't terrible but it was the first time I've had fish over a ton of veggies.... With no starch accompanied with the entree-- not your standard serve via an Italian place. I got the stuffed sole which was ok, not terrible, but the interior was mushy (as expected) and the sole might have been undercooked. I knew better than to go here for a satisfying meal. I would never go back here ... maybe not even for a drink because of how delayed delivery of a mere fried app, was. Thanks !

Unfortunately the rest of the experience wasnt as great as our waitress. My friend asked if they would substitute the chicken in a panini for eggplant as she is a vegetarian. Eggplant was on the menu so it shouldn't have been a big deal as it would not have been in other restaurant. The answer from our waitress ( she asked the woman who greeted us at the front and I could she her whispering to our waitress) that no that could not be done. I did not see anyone go into the kitchen to ask the chef. Almost as if it was a no no. We received warm bread. I had the chicken ceasar salad- not great. The cheese was grated cheese, croutons were tiny and the dressing very tart. My friend ended up having soup and a salad that she liked. I noticed the chef going to tables where he seemed to know the customers, greeting them very friendly with bread - well before we received ours and he completely ignored us ( it wasn't crowded). Though our waitress was excellent the rest of the experience not so. Not sure if I would return.

My wife and I have been coming to this excellent establishment for years and it is one of our…read moreall-time favorites. Last night for Valentine's Day, we totally enjoyed Italian cuisine at its best! We started with the delicious shrimp chowder which had an abundance of tender shrimp cooked to perfection in a delightful cream sauce. But that was only the beginning! My wife ordered the eggplant over pasta which was outstanding and made the way my Sicilian grandmother would have made it! Next up, I ordered the bone-in Veal Choppette with mozzarella over a bed of pasta which totally lived up to - and exceeded my expectations. Thought I died and went to veal heaven. The chop was abundant and tender - it was absolute Perfection on a plate! We finished off these culinary delights with cappuccino with a side of Sambucca Romana and Tia Maria plus a serving of crème brûlée cheesecake to end the evening. Tony and Joanne D'Amelio as well as the entire staff always make us feel comfortable and welcome and know how to treat their guests. If I could give Verdi 10 stars I would! If you're looking for a first-class restaurant serving outstanding fare, look no further than Verdi!

The outside as a reasonable amount of parking and a huge greenhouse type window. The interior is definitely nostalgic, decorated like one would in the 80s or 90s.

I had a cheeseburger and fries, which was really juicy. I had a Groupon for them, and although they did accept it, apparently it doesn't include the burgers or sandwich platters.

This restaurant had always seemed to bring in an older crowd, and now we why. Its like a hidden gem. The prices are reasonable, the food is good and we had a great experience.

We left feeling very full and will definitely be back. And on top of it all, our server was so nice and helpful, it felt like we were at home in her kitchen.
