Happy to see this great addition to Verona. We made a reservation for a Saturday night and definitely did NOT need it, which I hope doesn't stay the norm. We went out with friends anticipating a fun night out with a few cocktails and shared plates. Despite the restaurant being empty, we all felt pretty rushed by our server to order and move on, so I hope they get better at matching the service with the style of the restaurant. The cocktail menu was just ok and the salty dog was downright bad. Nothing stood out there and I'd just stick to wine for sure next time.
We shared the prosciutto wrapped shrimp (really good), the manchego creme brûlée (sweet and creamy), and the cheese board with friends. Hard to make a cheese board unique but they did (lemon curd was awesome). I had the braised short rib risotto which was very rich but nicely done. Hubs had the duck special with polenta and blueberry chutney. Looking forward to my return.
