Last week my family traveled to Staten Island from Florida and when we asked the front desk at our hotel where we could get some great Italian food they sent us to Verde’s. We’re so grateful for that recommendation because that was the best Italian food I’ve had in over 15 years!! Obviously Florida isn’t known for its Italian food but I’m originally from Long Island so I know what Italian food should be and this place is phenomenal. The Garlic Rolls melt in your mouth and the sauce they are served with is out of this world. We ordered Chicken Parm, Penne Ala Vodka and my Mom had the Fried Shrimp Appetizer. Everything was amazing. Before we left we were already selecting what we would be ordering for dinner. Unfortunately our plans ran late and we weren’t able to make it back to the restaurant. The next day we had to fly home so we missed our opportunity to have more delicious food. Not sure when we will be able to get back to NY but we now know where to go for a fantastic meal. The staff was also so friendly and welcoming. We weren’t sure where to park and a very nice gentleman even came outside to assist us. That’s what I call above and beyond service. If you are local to the area then you are very lucky to have the opportunity to eat at Verde’s whenever you like. I only wish they were in Florida too. - DENISE BOVE
