Really impressed with the quality/selection of meals & top notch service at the La Verità Restaurant. Made a great dining experience for our family group of 4 adults. Can't praise enough the service staff, super attentive & helpful with suggestions/info about meals & desserts. Also excellent wine selection. Lovely place certainly worth a visit :)
Everything was delicious & Stephanie, our waitress was AMAZING!! She recommended our wine (which was equally as amazing), an out of this world mushroom pasta dish for my husband & when I asked for mushrooms on my 6 oz filet mignon dish, boy did she & the owner-chef deliver! To top it off, when I mentioned it was our anniversary, they presented us with limoncello & a beautiful piece of tiramisu! Stephanie was also very outgoing &'on the ball' with her service! Honestly, we've been to many restaurants, & this is definitely our new'go-to' place! Thanks Stef! You deserve a raise & 5 shining stars!!***** xoxo

Our first visit & we were very impressed with the decor & ambiance. The wait staff were exceptional & attentive - Stef took extremely good care of us. The meals we chose arrived quickly, beautiful presentation & tasted delicious. Wine selection was also excellent & clearly many private importation items. A delightful experience - the only tiny negative is that by 7:30PM on Friday the general customer noise level, did make conversation a bit challenging.
Great experience. Food was amazing & our waitress, Stephanie, was out of this world. Excellent service.
I just wish there were more options for red wine (ie other countries other then Italy). Yes, I know this is an Italian restaurant, but seeing as US wines are no longer available it would be nice to see some from Australia.
That being said, I most certainly would go back & highly recommend this restaurant.
Excellent as usual. I have loved this place since the beginning. This time I picked from my wife's plate, the braised beef was delicious. The wine excellent.

Great restaurant!
It was our first time & it will not be the last one.
Appetizers were very generous & main course were very good. What I appreciated the most is that the cook adjusted my meal to my taste. They did a grilled Veal Tomahawk for one ( it was not on the menu ) & it was very good. This is what I call customer service & a great cook that is ready to please its Clientele.
dessert was a nice touch to finish the meal & the shots of Sambuca were a must to end a great evening.
In addition, we did not have one waiter but three. Efficiency, fast response & great food & wine recommendations.
Congratulations to the entire La Verità team. You all deserve a 5 Stars.
Thank you again!
A very nice restaurant with many imported items from Italy, depending on the season. The decor is chic, & the ambiance is pleasant-lively but not too loud! Our waitress, Dovina, provided amazing service, offering excellent suggestions & in-depth details about the uniqueness of each dish. We enjoyed the burrata, beautifully paired with pistachios, pomegranate, honey, & balsamic-absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were fair & well-balanced, leaving us perfectly satisfied. A perfect place for special occasions, it's worth what you pay for! For the main course, we had the ravioli d'aragosta, which was creamy & flavorful. We also tried the grilled lamb chops, perfectly cooked & tender, served with asparagus, mashed potatoes, & peppers. For dessert we shared a maple cheesecake that was sweet & delightful. A standout feature was the half-bottle wine list, which added a nice touch to the experience.
First time & will definitely return! Excellent service, food & wine. Risotto was perfect, shrimp was exquisite & calamari was to die for. Service as courteous & quick service.

Nice décor & great staff who are attentive to clients. Nice selection of wines. Generous portions. I had the soup of the day which was grilled vegetables made into a super delicious cream. I followed that with the mushroom rizzoto, also extremely delicious & fresh. My wife had the home made gnocchi, also amazing. Lots of free parking & easy to access for anyone with mobility challenges.
We went to try this restaurant for the first time. Had fillet mingon & the wife had veal. The description & as described by the waiter not accurate. My fillet minion was extremely small but cooked just as I liked. The veal was the one with the bone. Not much sauce very dry, but cooked ok. This plate was coved with tons of salad. Service not bad had the feeling the older gentleman waiter did not like his job. Not to friendly cold. The young man filling water glasses & helping, was very pleasant. dessert was not bad. Cappachino good. Note: When asking for glasses of wine you are supposed to pour at the table not take glasses away. Did I get the wine I asked for? The price was well over $200. Overpriced by far. Would not recommend. Thanks
On Thursday December 14th we had our company Christmas dinner at La Verita. We were a party of 20. We had a multi-course meal which included fresh bread & focaccia, calamari & crab cakes, an appetizer of prosciutto, melon & mozzarella, a plate of penne pasta with tomato sauce, a green salad, & a main course of braised beef or salmon. Dessert was home-made tiramisu. The food was excellent. There were plenty of wine choices & a variety of hot drinks to follow the meal. The service was consistent & friendly. We were quite amazed that the food was hot & served all at once. Derek & his team did an excellent job. We will most certainly have future dinners at La Verita. Definitely a restaurant with class, great service, & excellent food!

Lovely restaurant. The staff is also SUPER nice!! They have good wines, food is tasty, fast service. We also had an amazing waitress. Beatrice was really good. She made our night. She recommended us some delicious starters, she was so nice & funny. Thank you!
Excellent service from Stéphanie for my boyfriend's 41st Birthday on Friday September 15th.
We had cocktails, wine, appetizers, the main course was hard to choose & you know how it is.... You always wish you had picked the first choice... (which was the Ossobucco ) Even the second choice which was the Risotto with fungi & cream & unicorn whispers====they will never admit it but they use it as a secret ingredient
So I had the Ricotta Gnocchi topped with Burrata. Still good bug I'm never really hungry by the time we get to our main courses.... Not after 3 appetizers & sometimes bread
It was awesome. Stéfan was very pleaded.
Stephanie gets mentioned in a lot of reviews because she is a pro & also quick, efficient & the right amount of talking back .
Hard time understanding the waitress. Spoke very fast. She seemed to be nervous. When we were asked if we would be having wine with the meal, we Cleary stated that we not be drinking that evening & that water would suffice. Despite that, she kept on insisting on other beverages. When we politely declined, she seemed to have gotten a little irritated. Other than that, truly enjoyed the evening & as usual the food was fantastic. That is why we are regular customers at the establishment....year after year.
What a great evening! Although the restaurant was very busy for a Tuesday & short staffed, we had a wonderful & well timed dinner. Stephanie was informative, knowledgeable on the wine & saw that some special requests on the orders were seen to. Very much appreciated! We will be back soon!
