   Cafe Verona has long been one of our favorite restaurants, and we missed it when it closed during the Covid pandemic. We became aware recently that it had reopened. Our recent visit for an early lunch did not disappoint. The service was prompt and attentive. The side salad was outstanding, clearly an improvement from the past. Our appetizer, bread serving and entrees were all excellent. We will be visiting frequently.

   Cafe Verona is like stepping into another place on earth. The atmosphere and energy is warm. The food is always delicious and timely brought out. This particular trip was so we could experience their Restaurant Week menu. Each item we had was great! We are Kansas City vloggers so while we were there, we got footage for our YouTube channel. We can’t wait to share with the world! We will also pass along to our friends and family :)

   Lunch for restaurant week was SO amazing! The potato soup with Italian sausage was so good and the carbonara was better than the carbonara we had in Rome♥️

   I love supporting my hometown and the local shops and restaurants around our downtown and center of Independence, MO on the Independence Square. A friend and I decided to support restaurant week and enjoyed the 3 courses at Cafe Verona very much. We had a great atmosphere for catching up and the seervice was unobtrusive, yet timely. My only note for the owner, is that at 8PM, all the lights were turned on and it was apparent that our night was over. The starkness of the atmosphere from our meal to the "get out" signal was not very customer friendly. I would address another manner in which to let customers know the restaurant is closed. Thanks

   We had lunch reservations for Monday of Restaurant Week. When we arrive the restaurant was closed. Why have Monday reservations open if that's the day you're closed?

   The location on the square was neat. The bar area is really neat! Good martini. Dining room pleasant, service very good. All our meals were good, eggplant starter could have been shared by all 4 of us. Caesar salads good. Salmon, Bolognese, and Chivken entrees all good. I would travel back just for the Tiramisu, it was awesome.

   We had a family meal. Some had not been to Cafe Verona before. Our Waitress, Shay, could not have been better. Suggesting menu items when we needed help and providing excellent service overall. The food could not have been better. Everything cooked to a turn. Simply delicious. Great service, great food, great conversation . . . things could not have been better. Highly recommended.

   Salad was mediocre. The bruschetta was so hard we could hardly chew it. Cheese was not melted. The wine was good. Not a repeat restaurant for me.

    We used to go here a lot and really enjoyed it. We quit around Covid and were wanting to come back. It has definitely changed. Smaller menu for sure, but my favorite, rigatoni sausage rosa was not on the menu anymore. I tried another pasta dish that I felt was pretty bland. Overall we were disappointed. Service was good though.

    Our waiter was Awesome! I ordered the Cesar Salad but they bought me the house salad and it was PHENOMENAL! So I’m happy my waiter bought me the wrong one😆 he was very apologetic. I also had a sandwich with chicken and pesto that was good too. My daughter had Penne Pasta with pesto that she liked but what had wanted a lil more seasoning. My husband ordered the flank steak with fries and asparagus that he also loved. It was our first time there but we’d definitely recommend!

    Th first time I visited, I would have given the food 5 stars. It was one of the best Italian meals I’d eaten since I visited Italy, and I could not quit thinking about how much I enjoyed it. This meal was good. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. But I was underwhelmed it was obvious that the food was rushed and the presentation was sloppy. Maybe this is due to the fact that my first visit was during lunch and this visit was during dinner.

    What a wonderful meal from appetizers through desserts, Cafe Verona always delivers. Pesto penne was generous in proportion and flavors. The mushroom risotto was quite special and prepared perfectly. The mushroom fettuccine with shrimp was another star of the evening. Simply an outstanding meal.

    Two in our party of three ordered from the Brunch menu. The items were Crorque Monsieur and Oeufs Al Cocotte. Each dish seemed to consist mostly of bread. We will not try brunch again. The other person with us got the Pesto Chicken Flatbread and a house salad. She said it was very good. We have eaten the flatbreads on previous visits and found them excellent. Also the side Caesar or the house salads are great. We also enjoyed the breads served to the table. Cafe Verona is one of our favorite spots. We were just disappointed in the brunch dishes we tried.

    I made reservations through open table with the intention of entertaining my out of town guest. The reservation was confirmed for 10/3 at 6:30. I received a confirmation text and responded we would attend. We arrived to a locked gate & I later confirmed the restaurant is closed on Monday. Very frustrating and disappointing that the restaurant and booking service do not coordinate better. I gave low stars so I could proceed to the narrative. I’ve had good meals on previous visits.

    Great jazz music sets the stage for a great evening at Cafe Verona. We opted to have one of the flatbreads (chicken Alfredo ) in lieu of one of the antipasti menu choices (which all looked delicious) with an upgrade to Caesar Salad. This proved to be a great choice as the portions were large and delicious. Our entrees were excellently prepared consisting of short ribs and poblano and cacio e pepe. Highly memorable presentation - compliments to the chef, the services and the evening. Highly recommended.

    This was my first time visiting Cafe Verona. This restaurant has a beautiful ambiance and atmosphere, the food was delicious. Our server was great, checking on us occasionally and very pleasant. Myself, my fiance, and my daughter had lunch by reservation and am looking forward to dinner at Cafe Verona We had an opportunity to speak with the Manager/owner who told us more about the restaurant, such as upstairs dining which includes an area for groups, a space for small gatherings, and can provide a buffet for special occasions, a catwalk over the bar, and a small outside atrium dining area. Cafe Verona is perfect in every way and we will most definitely be frequenting this establishment.

    We had a nice dinner, and the food and service were great! The Pasta Alle Vongole and Brown Butter Sage Gnocchi were delicious, and I loved the roasted tomatoes throughout the meal in the salad and entrees. For our complimentary Anniversary dessert, we enjoyed the Citrus & Olive Oil Short Cake, and it did not disappoint! Thank you, Cafe Verona!

    Real nice place. The murals were beautiful and it has a cozy dining feel. The service was great as well as the food. Lots of pasta options to pick from and too many cocktails to choose from. It was our first time there for our anniversary and they gave us a complimentary dessert that was fabulous! Will definitely eat there again.

    Nowhere near as good as before the pandemic. Menu mainly sandwiches, salads and a couple of pasta dishes, no traditional pasta choices. Ordered an entree salad, didn't come with bread!! Menu had four dessert choices, when I ordered the one I wanted, waiter told me they only make a two dessert everyday and mine choice wasn't one.

    Service was awkward. The first thing our server said to us was how busy he was. What? He didn't ask if we wanted appetizers or starters. He had our checks ready before we were done with our dinners. One in our party wanted dessert so he had to rerun his ticket. Tables were being moved and chairs were being put up while we were still sitting there. My friend asked if we were keeping them and he was told that they close at 8. Don't take reservations at 7:15 if you want to close at 8. I expected better as I used to love Cafe Verona before they closed in 2020.

    The chicken pesto flatbread had excellent flavor and generous toppings. Good service. The main dining room was nearly full on a Wednesday evening. Made it a tad noisy but glad so many people were enjoying the new chef's menu.

    High costs for minimal, redundant selection and flavors that compete. Ex: Side salad: sun dried tomatoes, big chunks feta (should be an accent flavor—not major addition), salty olives, but no flavor to dressing. Bread dipping oil= no flavor but a huge chunk pesto. Pasta dishes were simply boring variations of only several types of pasta. A server who's training must of been being boring/intrusive instead of professional to offer any explanations of dishes, no offer of additional bread. Olive Garden servers must be trained for customer service. Verona are not.

    Was seated promptly however it took them another 10-15min before they brought menu’s or even water. We ordered appetizers and dinner, sitting for a total of 45 min no appetizers. Others getting theirs well after we ordered. Had to find staff to find out what was going on. They’re very short handed which was taken into consideration. Probably should not be allowing large parties until they get fully staffed. Food as always was fantastic!
