Diner Reviews
  • "They serve the best Caesar Salad in town, pastas are varied and always fresh tasting. Almost everything on the menu is delicious."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Food portions very small, petite mingon very dry and no flavor. To expensive $94 for two adults with 2 glasses of $7.00 wine."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We celebrated our 20th anniversary here. The waiter helped up choose a sparkling wine, which we loved - slightly sweet, not too dry -just perfect. We ordered a dinner special of parmesan encrusted sea bass and a regular dinner item - cannelloni - both were delicious, fresh, not too filling. Salad special was great - well thought out combination of fresh veggies. Dessert (crème brulee and tiramisu) with an expresso martini - wonderful ending to a well attended, thoughtful, and pampering experience. We won't wait for another perfect occasion to come back - we'll make this a regular dining experience and bring our friends!"

  • "Great place to dine fine Italian food, great wine to choose from, and great service, also very quiet place to go on a romantic date."

  • "My husband and I hadn't been here for years. We were very disappointed- had to wait 30 minutes after our reservation time. Then a LONG wait between courses. Food was just OK. Chairs were worn. Poor service in the bar as well. We will not return until we know improvements have been made."

  • "My boyfriend had the filet mignon and I had the veal scallopini. Both came with vegetables and mashed potatoes. There was also a single stewed tomato off to the side. The entire meal was amazing. Be sure and try the tomato. Much to our surprise, our server advised us that most people leave the tomato. For dessert, we had the poached pear and tiramisu. Again, amazing. We can't wait to return!"

  • "Lived down the street for 20 years, but never made it to Verona's. I had dinner there for the first time, and was impressed. How is it that Verona's isn't more widely known among Modestans and out-of-towners?"

  • "I had a party of 5 and every plate was to perfection."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "Disappointed doesn't even begin the express this experience. From not having beverages in stock (um, who runs out if iced tea?) to serving inedible entrees, I will never go back. It looks pretty but the food is prepared without passion and it shows."

  • "I took my sister to dinner for her birthday. We were pleasantly surprised."

  • "My wife and I have eaten at Verona's for many years. I have never had a bad meal there. it is one of Modesto's hidden gems in McHenry Village."

  • "As always it was fabulous. They have recently remodeled and its looking wonderful and updated."

  • "Even with Modesto's blazing daytime heat, it cools down enough to really enjoy the outdoor patio in the evening. The while linen tablecloths and ambient lighting add to the sound of the trickling fountain heaping with flowers. The appetizer bruschetta was not your ordinary bruschetta... colorful tomatoes topped with shaved parmesan made it outstanding. The special- parmesan crusted Halibut- was delicious and a generous portion. Cooked perfectly, placed on top of spinach risotto with a side of vegetables. Also had the mushroom ravioli with tri-tip steak... had a little zip to it that added to the flavor. We brought our own bottle of wine and and paid the corkage fee. Even had dessert- spumoni was exceptional. I highly recommend!"

  • "Took my date there for dinner. Was looking for a quiet, romantic spot and found this place online. Sounded just like what I was looking for. I ordered halibut and she ordered lasagna. Both were outstanding. Since we were celebrating a birthday we were served a complementary decadent titimisu. The service was perfect! We have talked about how pleased we were and plan to be back. Would definitely recommend this place."

  • "We are relatively new in the area. Verona's is our "go to" restaurant when entertaining guests or just a great lunch or dinner for the two of us."

  • "The room is too congested, difficult to have conversation"

  • "Been a handful of times and always great. Took parents for Mothers Day and actually got a same day reservation. Had a chefs special, halibut with lemon dill sauce. It was amazing. Dad had scampi which was not on the menu but they are great about catering to requests. Outdoor patio is nice too. Only down side, this is the 3rd time I've gone that they were out of Chocolate Exstacy dessert. They need to make more!!"

  • "Needed a local place to could handle a large party on short notice and these guys stepped up. What started out as needing a table for 8 to 9 at the last minute became needing a table for 14. I called them 2 hours prior to our rrservation and was told, "we will make it work". Great food, great service!"
