There was nothing about Verana we didn’t like! Every dish ordered by our party of four was delicious, creative, and beautifully plated. The fluffy focaccia with whipped ricotta, the antipasti, the primi and secondi piatti, and the dessert were all inventive, flavor-forward, and scrumptious. The insalata di barbabietole (beet salad) was one of the best salads I’ve had. The creativity and combination of flavors and textures were inspiring. The melanzane fritte (ordered as an appetizer) was a crowd favorite. The homemade pastas were cooked to the perfect al dente, and my husband’s pollo alla parmigiana was probably the best chicken parm we’ve had anywhere (in the US or Italy!). The chicken was beautifully crusted and tender, and had just the right amount of full-bodied and flavorful sauce and cheese. Moist and tender, but not swimming in sauce. Perfect. And then there was the crostata di mele…lusciously light puff pastry filled with warm apples and topped with hazelnut crunch gelato…and large enough to feed four. Yum! What impressed us most about Verana was how every dish felt upscale and creative with surprising, complex, and effective elements and flavor profiles, yet was not so exotic as to be the least bit off-putting. Each dish still maintained its traditional Italian roots, but with interesting twists. Impressive also were the decor, ambiance, and service. Staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive, and check-ins by the general manager were an appreciated personal touch…a personal touch that seems to be a lost art in so many other restaurants. We’re so pleased to have found our new go-to area restaurant. We’ll absolutely be taking family and friends to Verana often!

Every aspect of our dining experience was excellent.The beautiful decor ,the friendly welcoming staff and very very delicious food and cocktails made it a perfect evening. We dine out frequently and are happy to see their appetizers and entrees are not the ordinary run of the mill Italian dishes.The homemade pasta with mushrooms was such a treat as was the entire meal which included the pork entree..The wine list and well crafted cocktails are highly recommended…Many many good wishes to you for your beautiful new restaurant..

We dined for the first time at Verana last night and it was fabulous! The decor was beautiful, the service was excellent and the food was outstanding. We started with the insalata romanella, a take off on a Cesar salad that was delicious. Next, we enjoyed the cappelletti Al funghi and it was amazing! For a main course we had the chicken parmigiana and we were delighted. Can’t wait to go back again!!!!

Worth the drive. I live in Paramus and it's nice to go the opposite way of NY city traffic and find this upscale restaurant with a city vibe. First and foremost the service is impressive they pay attention to your needs. From coming to the door to take your umbrella, pulling your chair out, not too ontop of you but attentive. Food is amazing not too heavy and the right portions. If you are with a group of friends i would suggest trying everything. There may be a waitlist on the weekends but it's just as busy on the weekdays....that says a lot! It's worth the time to eat at this hidden gem

Great addition to Norwood! Really authentic Italian food! We enjoyed the calamari, octopus, burrata, branzino, home made pasta dishes and the chicken parm… that was huge!! I enjoyed the chick pea fritters that were part of the dish! I’d put that down as an appetizer!! The food was so flavorful and to have the chef from Del Posto open this wonderful restaurant that doesn’t require a 2 hour ride into the city to enjoy fresh and perfectly seasoned and prepared meals is an added bonus!!! The cocktails were great! And the apple dessert was the best end to a great meal!! Oh and the interior design was beautiful. Forgot where I was for a moment! 😊 We’ll be back!

I am a repeat customer. This spot is an amazing addition to our area. The food is fabulous! All their pasta is homemade. I love the way they put an eclectic spin on their dishes. Service is great, they allow you to take your time and enjoy. Definitely save room for dessert!

Food and atmosphere were good! Very pricey for NJ! Overall experience was good but our waiter was rude and abnoxious and we will not return back due to his poor and unprofessional behavior!😏🥴
