We had a phenomenal experience tonight at Verdi's. We arrived with a 3 year old who had fallen asleep in the car and the owner, Vince, went out of his way to give us extra seating with a booth on one side so the little one could stay asleep. Then, a blanket was brought over for him. The food was amazing - we had clam chowder, tomato basil soup, salad, steak, shrimp appetizer, pasta and meatloaf. The portions are generous and delicious! Carla, our waitress, was great. She was very friendly and knew the menu inside and out. All of the wait staff was very helpful, drinks were never empty. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

I got clam chowder soup which was creamy good and filet mignon and mashed potatoes with pinot noir. Other members got salads, fish and rice, shrimp scampi and also another filet mignon with mashed potatoes. Pinot Grigio and prosecco was also consumed. A nice outing, they get 5 stars! :) read more

Cozy ambiance and great food and service! Verdi's knows hospitality. Delicious food and attentive service delivered with warmth.

The food was very good and the service attentive and friendly. We have been there twice and both times the owner was miserable. First time we thought perhaps just a bad day but second time we realized it's just the way he is. He acts as if he hates being there and is rude. Never says hello when you walk in....just "are you the 7:30". Then as we were leaving after spending a good buck between the 4 of us we got NOTHING....not a "goodbye"..."thanks for coming".....nothing. It's a shame cause he has good food and a great staff. We won't ever go back. read more

Verdi's Bistro - Marco Island's Hidden Gem I've been visiting Marco Island on and off for more than ten years, yet somehow Verdi's Bistro managed to fly under my radar--until this past week. Tucked unassumingly into a small strip mall beside a bagel shop, Verdi's is one of those delightful surprises that remind you never to judge a place by its parking lot. Warm smiles, a cozy atmosphere, and an imaginative menu that goes well beyond bistro classics set the tone the moment you walk in. Vince, the owner, is as genuine and gracious as they come--his presence infuses the room with a welcoming energy that carries through the entire dining experience. The team, led by our wonderful server Allie, matched that spirit perfectly: attentive, personable, and clearly proud of what they do. The crispy duck was cooked to perfection--crisp skin, tender meat, rich and balanced. The beet salad was bright and flavorful (though I was surprised they chose blue cheese over the usual goat), and the meatballs? Instantly addictive. The wine list is modest, but I'd love to see Vince get a little bolder here--there's room for creative pairings that could elevate the experience even further and match the kitchen's ambition. Verdi's isn't trying to be trendy or flashy. It's real, heartfelt dining--crafted by people who love what they do. If you haven't been, make it your next reservation. You'll leave full, happy, and wondering how you ever missed it. Guaranteed. read more

Worst customer service. Long wait for server to come back after he left bill. Has this Restaurant changed owners, location? Not what we remembered from 4 years ago! read more

The food and service at Verdi's was amazing!! It was a beautiful night outside and a great atmosphere to chat with girls, drink wine, eat great seafood, and enjoy vacation! Would definitely recommend read more

My experience at Verdi's was amazing. When visiting Marco Island this place is a must. The HEAD CHEF at Verdi's is the owner. The chef loves his family, his wife, loves to cook, loves his customers and loves his restaurant. The chef came out of the kitchen to our table to make sure everything was prepared the way we wanted it prepared. The food here is cooked to order. This place will give you a VIP experience. They don't rush you out of the restaurant. They make sure every customer is treated like family. What a great restaurant. The food was amazing. I had the surf and turf. The lobster was spot on and the filet was cooked perfectly. What an amazing meal. Plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. The wine was amazing. The service was incredible. The ambiance was perfection. I will keep coming back to this place. I had a great time. read more

Food was amazing and the service was above and beyond! The owner Vince made it a special night for my group.

Walked in and there was sewage smell! Asked to sit outside and hostess flipped attitude As an islander, I Will never step foot in that place again! read more

Three of us came to Verde's tonight to celebrate a birthday. Service was excellent, ambience was superb. Meals for two of my friends, no complaints. They had Lobster Fettuccine and Filet Mignon. I on the other hand ordered the pistachio encrusted grouper and I should have known better than to order this because when you cook fish this fancy, sometimes it's not good. It was dry and tasteless. I would not recommend it to anyone and I'm saying don't waste your money. read more

Dined here again on this year's trip to Marco. Bread is still wonderful! This time around, I ordered the seafood special, a Mahi Mahi which was absolutely incredible! Highly, highly recommend! read more

IF you're a high quality restaurant and you write this "...Let it be said, "You have not had meatloaf until you have tried ours!" , then serve one . Because , I ordered and tried to enjoy it and it was not worth bragging about . It was chewy dry tasteless covered in an indistinguishable sauce . I expected slices of moist tender meat loaf ; one I'd be proud to serve my friends and family . This was an oversized lousy meatball . Also , your wedge had no cheese ; it was a bottled cheese dressing with a few crumbs Service was spectacular and staff excellent read more

Service: A+ Food: A Atmosphere: A Location: B Verdi's is a hidden gem...literally hidden in a tiny section off Collier with a very small parking lot. They specialize in American and Italian food, with a focus on local seafood. Definitely make reservations since they're only open for dinner and have just a fixed number of tables in two small rooms inside and then a handful of outside tables. We were seated in the front room off to the left which is very cozy with some booth tables...I love a booth! Our server came right over and got us settled with some water and drinks. Their wine list is impressive and was delivered promptly while we were still chatting and looking over the menu. One friend and I both opted for each of the seafood specials that night while another got the Verdi's Grouper...everything was plated beautifully and portions were nice and large. Also, each entree comes with the house salad, or you can upgrade to one of the other salads or the soup. I upgraded to the Clam Chowder which was creamy and delicious. Very impressed! read more

My wife and two of my sons (20, 15) ate here in November 2024. In a nutshell, I would describe it as elevated Italian cuisine. Most of the dishes have a unique twist, which seem to distinguish it from run-of-the-mill Italian. The food quality is excellent and the presentation (with edible flowers) was next level. Don't worry, they have tried and true standards for the less adventurous. Our meals included two kinds of ravioli, a pork chop, grilled octopus and the meatball. Expensive, but delicious read more

Manager is very rude. Do not come here. Much better places on the island. They leave early and don't accommodate reservations.

1 1/2 stars rounded up to 2. The only redeeming quality at Verdi's was that our waiter was polite. And the bread pudding wasn't that bad, The food was just not good. We ordered the chicken penne and it was just a quarter cup of boxed penne with a quarter of a boiled chicken breast and a couple of canned artichoke hearts. We also got the pistachio crusted grouper...the grouper was old and tough and the mashed potatoes...well, let's just say they could sell the recipe to Elmers to make glue. The asparagus was fresh though. After the waiter put our dessert menus on the table, he walked away to let us decide. After about a minute this very tall, big guy in a plaid shirt comes to our table and grabs the dessert menus and says "what's the verdict?" I was so taken aback I thought it was a crazy customer or something because the waitstaff was wearing all black. He must be the owner or manager but he didn't introduce himself or ask how the food was, when he grabbed the menus we told him we hadn't even looked at them yet and he sets them back down on the table and walks away, not another word. I would not return and would not recommend. There are plenty of other places to eat in Marco. read more

Excellent food and service! Baked Brie was very good. Highly recommend! Price was good.

Wow. What a great place. The location is tucked away and is so intimate. Alan the waiter was so attentive and professional. The food is amazing. Moms clam chowder is a must try. We had the grouper and the sea bass and the special (veal chop). Each meal was incredible. We met Vince the owner and his daughter Hannah the hostess, both were exceptional individuals. Family owned and run business which produces a great product. This place is a must try and a must go back again place. Love you guys. See you next year when we come back to the island. read more

Nice local restaurant with pleasant ambiance. We had a reservation and were seated after about 10 minutes. We were having a little difficulty picking an appetizer and started with the Wiki Wiki Shrimp which is described at Tempura Shrimp. Very dissapointed with this dish, its heavly breaded and has nothing to do with Tempura Shrimp. The salad was good although the balsamic dressing was quite tart. Unlike the starter there seemed to be many good mains to choose from. I went with the Jumbo Shrimp and Diver Scallops with Fettucini. The Shrimp were indeed jumbo and the Diver Scallops were also good sized. There was a creamy lobster tomato sauce which was very flavorful. We had a nice wine to pair. Service was ok but a bit hit or miss, some lengthy waits between interactions and a bit forgetful. Overall pretty good place. read more

Incredible. Everything from the service to the excellent food. The music was perfect as well. We will be back. Thank you for being a hidden gem! read more

Visited with a group of 12. The restaurant is nice and the staff was friendly but the location lacked ambience as it was dead quiet (soft music would have helped). The food was a big disappointment. Of the 12 there were only 2 or 3 that liked not loved what they ordered. My sea-bass had a strange outer texture, lacked flavor and tasted microwaved. We dined at 12 restaurants over our two week vacation and would rate this 12th. Sad as the reviews were strong. Hopefully this was just an off night. read more

A solid performer in the very crowded traditional Italian cuisine market on Marco Island. Service was attentive, the food came quickly, and it was delicious. It had fresh made Italian style bread with an interesting olive oil dip. An excellent recommendation from the waiter for the Cabernet, and a fine pasta main course. The dining area was lighter and more open than many of the other Italian places I've been to on Marco, but no view as it is on a main thoroughfare. Though I was the first diner at 5 pm, within half an hour it started to fill up. Not certain why some places close down for the low season as there still seems to be a demand for dining seats. I can highly recommend the main course, fettuccine with scallops and jumbo shrimp. And the J. Lohr Winery Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent fresh out of the bottle. No need to breathe at all. Will I go back, that's the real judgment on a restaurant. And I will, if not just to have the reck of lamb next time. read more

One of our favorite places to visit on Marco. Our trip was only 5 days and we ending up going twice! We have been coming here for a few years and never a bad meal or experience. The Chilean sea bass and rack of lamb are top notch. The wine is perfectly and lightly chilled and accompanied all of dishes well. The whiskey break pudding was fought over at the end. Great time and service! Looking forward to the next meal there! read more

This little jewel of a restaurant is located in Marco Island, where We just spent a week on vacation. My daughter found it online somehow and told me to visit. A party of 7 all in family were seated within 10 minutes, our waitress named Michelle made us feel right at home with her jokes and infectious smile. We ordered seafood croquettes and Brie cheese as starters which were devoured within minutes as both were delicious , my husband ordered the Chilean sea bass and I ordered the blackened salmon on a bed of mash with sautéed spinach, WOW! My cousins ordered fettuccine and also halibut fish, I didn't take photos of all the food but I highly recommend this restaurant in you're visiting Marco Island in Florida read more

Wow! Best meal yet! Staying at a hotel nearby and asked our concierge for a place that had its own delivery. (I recently ordered Uber Eats and although they said they delivered, we never got our order). Verdi's was recommended and the food was great! Took 45 min on a Friday night to be delivered and it was worth it. Ordered the wedge salad, petite fillet and shrimp and scallop with fresh fettuccine. Great quality and inhaled immediately. read more

My parents made reservations to dine at Verdi's for my boyfriend's birthday while we were visiting them in Florida. Reservations are highly recommended as the place is pretty small and it got full when we were there on a weeknight. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, with soft booths and fabric tablecloths. Our server was really sweet and wonderful. The table was decorated with confetti as they knew we were there for a special occasion. The menu is pretty small but varied with steak, pasta, and seafood options. You start with warm bread, butter, and olive oil and balsamic. I was having trouble deciding between the grouper and the salmon, so I asked our server for her recommendation. She said the grouper had a vanilla wafer crust which some people don't like because of the sweetness, which was really helpful because it didn't mention that in the description on the menu. My boyfriend got the sea bass which is one of their specialties. My mom ordered the scallops and my dad got the chicken penne pasta. Our food didn't take too long to come out and everything looked really beautiful. My salmon was cooked to a perfect medium (I didn't specify) and the Parmesan risotto was flavorful and creamy. Unfortunately the spinach that came on the dish was super salty almost to the point of being inedible. Everything else was great though. I had a bit of scallops and sea bass and they were both cooked perfectly! Everyone loved their entrees. We decided to split the German chocolate cake for dessert and it came out with a candle and some servers sang happy birthday! I was surprised because you don't see that too often anymore. It was hilarious. The cake was okay but I thought it had a bitter taste, but the caramel sauce was delicious. Everyone else loved it. Overall this is a nice place to celebrate or have dinner without being too over the top fancy or expensive. read more

The food was good however the service was terrible. We had to ask twice for the water and the waitress said that we needed to leave an above 20% tip. We were a party of 11 and we all tipped her 18%. I cannot believe considering we were the only ones in the restaurant that the waitress complaint. The tip is based on the service received not an obligation. She should feel lucky that she got 18% considering her service was not the greatest. The food was good. read more

Hands down the best restaurant on the island. Great service and delicious food. The beet salad was amazing So was the rack of lamb, the filet and the clam linguine. read more

Table (outside, covid), just fine. M Server was nice. Pretty good wine selection, I was surprised they had few bottles they had. No regular liquor served. My beet salad did not have anything on it. Asked for some vinnegrette, never came. All good muscles through. Grouper was as hard as can be and very fishy (yeah I get it, it's fish, but...). Really disappointed read more

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Verdi's. My wife has several food sensitivities and the staff was fantastic at working with her to prepare a modified tuna special that she raved about. My sea bass was delicious. I had the German chocolate cake for dessert and while not what I would call a traditional presentation it too was very good. The wine selection is adequate and we enjoyed our bottle. Great service and excellent food, five stars. The only down side I can mention is the "strip mall" location and limited seating, but that doesn't take away from the experience. Give them a try. read more
