    The pasta making class was an absolute blast, especially with Anthony as the teacher. It was great to have him as a guide through the class and he always kept it entertaining with his jokes and banter. The pasta class + dinner deal is such a steal, food was great and vibes were high. Highly recommend for a fun date night or booking with a group of friends!

    Enjoyed the restaurant. Ambiance was great and cozy. Food was delicious and service was superb. My only criticism is that they didn’t have the fillet so I ordered rib eye, which turned out just fine. Happens. Other than that, would highly recommend.

    Excellent food and service, a little on the loud side. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. She didn’t hold back and told us how she felt about dishes when we asked. Manager stopped by to check when our food came out which was nice. Overall excellent and if I am back in Verona in the future, I would go again.
