Tonight I went on the lighter side with the crab cake, which was exceptional! It was tender and elevated even further by a luxurious citrus béarnaise that brought the whole dish to life. I also tasted the feijoada, and it was outstanding: rich, comforting, and layered with the kind of depth that only comes from true craft. For shared bites, we enjoyed the pão and the bone marrow. Compliments to the chef and amazing team cultivating the experience.

You can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft, and even though the place was packed, they were pumping out drinks fast without sacrificing quality. The vibe is what sealed it for me. The DJ was spinning all the Millennial throwbacks, and the whole crowd was into it. It felt like the perfect mix of fun, stylish, and a little nostalgic all at once! 1000% loved everything about this place, from the drinks to the energy,and I'm already planning my next night out here, I'll try to save you a seat!!

There was a couple small setting areas in bar and consequently it was VERY busy. With that in mind, I think the bar staff was doing its best having to serve the party going on and also everyone at the bar. While it was a long wait, the drinks were well made and they have a variety of options. The vibe was really enjoyable and is definitely one of the good bars in Modesto which definitely needs more. Wish this place the best and hope we see more like it!

We got there right when they were opening I think. I love the decor. It's warm and classy. We got a booth (always get the booth Fellas). Our waiter, I can't remember his name which is lame on my part, was excellent. He also made our drinks. Jason?? I'll certainly update the review with his name and totally my bad. I hope you get him. He was excellent. It felt like one of the owner's was helping us. He knows he stuff. He's also charming and friendly. He was great. We'll certainly be back. We are totally going to work our way down their menu. I highly recommend this place. Paul!!! I totally messed up his name. My bad. We're back and he custom made me this drink! It was delicious! We call the Berry Booty Call.

I visited this restaurant with my mother for lunch a while back, and we chose to sit outside since…read morethe weather was mild -- still spring, not summer heat. An overweight waitress with black pulled back hair and heavily applied makeup showed up at our table with obvious contempt written all over her face. From the moment she approached our table, she seemed unhappy to be serving us. Her attitude was curt, uncooperative, and made us feel unwelcome. When I asked simple questions, she reacted as though I was inconveniencing her, responding with visible irritation and a dismissive tone. It became clear she was upset that we chose to sit outdoors. When she returned with our water, she was visibly sweating, flustered and frustrated, and probably worried about her heavily applied makeup running in the heat... so the entire interaction felt strained. If outdoor seating is open and available, customers shouldn't be made to feel guilty or unwelcome for choosing it. It's disappointing, because we actually enjoyed the food. But no matter how good a meal is, I won't return to a place where I'm treated with contempt. This was our first and last visit to Verona Cucina Italiana.

I've seen other dishes they make like the Seafood Chapino and I've asked diners how they like it. The answer has always been excellent. It's a small quint restaurant and can be loud when uncontrolled children aren't minding their manners. I've experienced both atmospheres, I generally go during the week to avoid a crowded dining room. The Service is good, our servers are polite and they listen well. I always leave a good tip for them. The food as far as I'm concerned is by far the best Italian Food in Modesto and I've tried all of them. One place in particular I'll never go back to because they tried to misinform on a meal I've eaten many times and know very well. I highly recommend Pastas Pronto and will say with confidence you will not be disappointed. It's really that good!

It is always a great spot to invite colleagues, family, and friends.

The customer service is phenomenal and they truly make you feel at home. If you need pickup, just give them a call and they will get you situated right away. Definitely recommend it.

Sadly disappointed…read more My friends and I stopped by Commonwealth on a Saturday afternoon for a late brunch. It was a beautiful day so it was busy for both indoor and outdoor seating. Here, you order your food, grab a number, and find your own seat for the food to be brought out to you. We sat at a table outside to decide what to order. There were no menus available so we just had to search for it online before heading inside to order. Despite being third in line from the register, we had an extremely long wait to order. There was only one person running the register who also had to make the drinks, meaning the service incredibly slow. We wanted to order the five taco platter, garlic fries, chicken Caesar salad, and mimosa pitcher. Sadly, we were only able to get the pitcher and salad. The cashier told us "sorry, we aren't doing fries right now." Not doing fries? Every plate in the vicinity had fries on them. She said that because it was brunch hour, only food on the brunch menu could be ordered. We looked at the brunch menu again and literally saw garlic fries as an option as a side for the burgers/sandwiches. No where did it specify that you can't order off the other menu and both were available online. What bothered us about this is that we placed this order at around 1:50pm, and brunch ended at 2:00pm. I understand that we are not entitled to things on the lunch menu during brunch-time for items like the tacos, but considering the menu swap was less than 10 minutes away and they were quite literally were "doing fries" at the time, it didn't make much sense to us. The only food that we ended up ordering was the Chicken Caesar Salad. This one dish took a super long time to receive. By the time it was brought out, the three of us nearly finished the Mimosa pitcher. The waitress noticed we had no silverware and said she would go grab us some. Because of how the service had been going thus far, we placed a bet on whether or not the waitress would come back with the silverware. Surprise, surprise. She didn't. We had to go inside later and search for silverware ourselves. We weren't even able to get sharing plates which was upsetting since the waitress asked us if we would be sharing the salad. The salad itself looked delicious, but was bland. The dressing was missing that zing and zest that a Caesar dressing typically has. I do appreciate that is was a chopped salad, had avocado, and seasoned croutons. It is just unfortunate that it was lacking any flavor at all. The food prices are quite affordable for the quantity of food you receive though. This experience was disappointing because I was so optimistic about the place. The menu looked good, it had fun and casual vibes and a cool crowd of people. If Commonwealth worked towards better service practices, it would have been a more positive experience.
