Best Family Style Restaurants in Verona

Umi never ceases to amaze. The food is always divine, especially the chocolate maki. The team of servers are always incredible, too. This time we had the lovely Ashley and she was fantastic. She not only recommended the perfect drink for me, she also seamlessly allowed a dessert substitution for the 7 course dinner tour. If you are a fan of upscale sushi, this is a must-try restaurant!

We had the most lovely evening celebrating our weekly date night and an early Valentine’s Day dinner at Siempre Algo. It’s a smaller restaurant and it makes sense that reservations are needed. There’s a bar and tables for couples and groups of four. I really enjoyed the 2010s music playing and it wasn’t loud enough to be distracting or not hear my partner. The lighting was also just right and there were tea light candles around the restaurant creating a warm ambiance for the space. Menus are provided thru a QR code and I appreciate how it minimizes waste and additional labor. We were greeted by Alli, seated, and immediately served filtered water. We were also treated to complimentary champagne. We then ordered the Siempre Algo Old Fashioned and Jack of All Trades for cocktails. Next we ordered focaccia as a snack which was crispy and salted perfectly served with a perfect quenelle of butter. For mains, we ordered the wagyu sirloin and the porchetta. I couldn’t believe they had ibérico and I had to try it for myself. The pork was so tender it melted in your mouth. The steak was delicious and cooked exactly to order. Served with buttery whipped potatoes and broccolini, I know the wagyu sirloin will be what I order the next time I visit. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake and peanut butter ice cream. The cake was rich but not overwhelming and had you going for bite after bite. We’ll definitely be going back and bringing people with us. This place was absolutely worth it.

Our server, Meaghan, was terrific as usual, and she made an outstanding wine recommendation. The jámon Serrano with almonds and the scallops crudo were superb. Fun experience once again.

Everything was great! Always enjoy the pizza and drinks! Was a little shocked at the price; that won’t stop us from going back.
