Verona Kitchen & Bar in St. Helens

First visit to Verona last night. Pleasantly surprised what a jem of a place.great food and service from Adrian. The guitar singer was excellent.We will definitely visit again .

Great service and food was outstanding 👌

We had heard a lot of good things about this restaurant, so we thought we’d give it a try. The good news is that it definitely lived up to our expectations. The food was great, the staff were friendly and it had a lovely atmosphere. It’s great to see a local business thriving, I’d definitely recommend a visit!

Beautiful restaurant and food. Couldn't fault anything.

This place is a hidden gem. Really good lunch as a couple with daughter and son in law. Started either meat balls. Small portion of 4 that was nicely done. Blast of flavour from tomato based sauce. Wife had calamari which was excellent. Then for main I went for the special sea bass - gorgeous dish. Probably one of the favourite I’ve had in an Italian. Served with potato and veg. Daughter went for carbonara which was also excellent (I had the rest as a takeaway next day). Girls went for tiramisu as desert. Had a little which was tasty. Service friendly all the way through. Loved it.

Amazing food and service from Lucy, food was 10/10, thank you chefs!!! Very attentive and delicious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Food was delicious 😋 tasy 👌 service was excellent

Lovely food, would highly recommend the roasts on a Sunday as well as lasagna! In fact, everything was so tasty and came out piping hot! Thanks to our servers, great service!

Adrian, was lovely great service. Friendly and attentive. Good food, good music and atmosphere. Would come again. Might make it my new local.

Excellent food with very helpful staff and overall excellent service provided by Adrian and his staff. the pizza and pasta dishes (the only dishes we have had) are excellent and great value for their price.

Gorgeous food and lovely staff. Would definitely reccomend the lotus biscoff cheesecake 10/10. Adrian was a great waiter.

Fantastic service & food . I had chicken wings with blue cheese dressing to start they were fantastic, very tasty, followed by carbonara and cheese garlic bread. Large portion and very nice food .

Had a lovely glass of wine prior to a funeral lovely merlot friendly service

The service was perfect from beginning to end. Our waiter Adrian was courteous and helpful, ensuring that our whole meal experience was flawless. Food was lovely and the atmosphere was great. Would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Been here on several occasions and never disappoints, great food and service ...5 stars

Great food and a lovely setting. Very friendly staff

Food was amazing (sorry, ate too quickly to take pics!). Shout out to our server, James. Top guy 👍😆

Service was absolutely fantastic. Another great visit.

Excellent food, laid back atmosphere

Really good food, been four times how, consistently good quality!

Excellent all round staff very friendly food absolutely amazing 👏 😋

Had a delicious, Sunday roast, sitting at a table for 6. Our friends were introduced to the Italian menu too. Their two chn enjoyed their meals from the children's menu. Great service from the bar too!

"I had an amazing experience at Verona Kitchen yesterday The food was absolutely delicious, especially the Roast Beef Lunch and the service was top-notch. And Adrian was very attentive and made excellent recommendations. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing afternoon out. I can't wait to come back!"

Very nice meal staff attentive and friendly all round nice experience.

We came here for a last minute bite to eat and luckily got a table. We had a lovely dinner with excellent service, all the staff were 10/10. Adrian especially went out of his way to care to our needs and was a great host.

We love Verona, we try to go there every 2/3 month for a relaxed meal that reminds us to Italy. Adrian looked after us this time he was very helpful, attentive and charming! We enjoyed our experience there and we'll definitely get back as soon as we can.

What an outstanding place to spend time with loved ones, friends, family or work colleagues. On entering Verona, we were greeted warmly by Adrian, who looked after us professionally and kindly throughout our visit. Food was amazing and plenty of it. Great choice and superb menu. Lots of different drinks on offer too from the bar. The place is warm and inviting and is beautifully decorated and welcomes singles, couples families and groups alike. Parking is easy with in the many side streets around the restaurant,which is situated on a pleasant high street in Newton. I would highly recommend the Verona to anyone. Five stars all round.

Lovely little place with a great atmosphere to eat in. The food was great and the service was brilliant, its a definite try

Absolutely an amazing place. Great food, excellent service (Ruby) and very well reasonably priced. Will be back soon

I retired in March and this was a catch up lunch with my girlies from where I worked ......

Good place to go for a drink. Service could have been better.

Another great experience at Verona. Amazing food and empty plates say it all 😀

Excellent service, nothing too much trouble, food gorgeous

Cmon get some quality Chilli Peppers. Arrabbiata is supposed to be hot.

Can't fault the place. Good food, friendly atmosphere and great staff! Still top notch!

Great food, staff and atmosphere. Second visit, will definitely return and recommend. Thanks to all the staff for a very enjoyable experience.

Our family love it here, we always enjoy the food and atmosphere. The kids love the Spaghetti Carbonara. Thanks to Adrian for the wonderful service.

Gorgeous food and immaculate service! Will definitely be returning.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant and so accommodating. We were a hen party of 17 and were let down by another restaurant. We rang Verona at half past 8 to see if by miracle they could maybe squeeze us in after explaining our situation. They told us to head over at 9 and everything would be ready. On arrival the bride was greeted with a lovely mimosa on the house. We cannot thank, Chris, Simone and Lucy enough for their wonderful service, and also to the kitchen staff for keeping the kitchen open longer to ensure we all had a lovely meal. The food was delicious, and Chris even managed to reserve us a table upstairs in the balcony afterwards. What could have been a disaster turned into a fabulous night. Thank you Verona team, we will be returning.

Lovely traditional Italian - great food, atmosphere and service. Very reasonable price Adrian was amazing! Would highly recommend

Very nice food and we were served quickly The food is very good value for money Wasn’t too busy but still a nice vibe and atmosphere

Visited for father's day The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. The portion size was quite big for what we expected 👌 and reasonable prices. Would highly recommend and will definitely return. Thanks everyone ☺️🙏

Good food well presented really enjoyed the whole night.

Ace, nice food friendly staff 😀 recommends

An absolute gem, this one. Great service and lovely food from a varied menu. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, this place is great for families too.

Me and my Husband and our friend have been tonight for a little catchup as not seen each other for a long time We had a great service from Niamh Really friendly good services thank u

Food great, service could be better. Having to try and get the staffs attention for drinks/bill etc constantly shouldn't happen.

Awesome pizza. Best option in Newton if you want a proper pizza!

First time visit for me. Daughters special birthday. Food , service, atmosphere and staff 10 out of 10. Will definitely be calling again. The food was beautiful, the staff so helpful and the service was excellent. Thank you Verona Kitchen&Bar for making a special night extra special.

Lovely food this evening, 4 of us were dining, there was a mistake with my daughter's burger she asked for no cheese and it came with cheese, also my husband's side order of onion rings were also forgotten but they weren't needed anyway as he had plenty on his own plate to be getting on with. This review could have gone a star or 2 less depending on how our situation was handled at the end. But it was handled perfectly. The server noticed as she was preparing our bill that we hadn't had the onion rings and had already removed them before we would have been wrongly charged. Also we were given a 10% discount for the inconvenience of my daughter having to eat her burger later than us. As I say, it was all about how a situation is handled. This would have easily been a 5 if those minor things didn't happen. Our food was delicious either way.

Excellent service from the moment we walked through the door. We were told we may have to wait 30min before a table was free, but it was only 15 at most. After a bit of a chat and banter we both ordered starters and mains. All I can say both coarse's for the pair of us was the Mutts Nutts. We are sure to return again !!

Had a fabulous meal tonight. The team there are lovely and food is delicious. It was really busy so best to book and we will definitely be going again.

The service was quite poor and the starters took 30 minutes to arrive. The portion sizes were not reflective of the price. The main course arrived within 10 minutes of the starter and was extremely generous for the price and very tasty - I think this is why it has such a high rating. We weren’t offered a dessert or coffee afterwards. The menu seemed to be inaccurate in its dietary information - how a caprese salad isn’t vegetarian and the dessert having amaretto in it doesn’t include nuts, I’ll not understand.

We went on a work outing and had pre-ordered due to there being a larger number of us. I had the chicken skewer which was really tasty and definitely a good choice, everyone else had a variety of pasta dishes, pizza &steak, noone had any complaints 👍🏻 The atmosphere was lovely, background music and smaller more private sections. The service was great, everyone was very polite and welcoming; the only reason it isn't a 5* is due to us having yo ask for the deal which was on at the time, the bill came at full price, but the lady who served us had no issue of applying the discount once asked. Would definitely visit again and will take the children next time! 🍕

Family birthday meal. Food was really good but service is very slow & made us feel a bit like an inconvenience. 5th time of trying & doesn't get any better which is a shame.

Great food & brilliant service from Adrian. Appreciated the card from Verona as we were celebrating a retirement & this was a nice special touch.

Great meal at Verona Kitchen, very tasty food and excellent service. Would highly recommend.

Excellent! What a lovely Mother's day treat. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. Great staff too.

Been here a few times over the past year or so, however the most recent time it's gone downhill a little. Service not as good (seems like new staff) and the food not quite up to the usual standards. Hope it some makes improvements... Also the chairs are the worst things to sit on, always sliding down and very uncomfortable!

First time here on a recommendation. Really great service and food. I will be back again in the future.

Absolutely first class. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. Service was also v good. Nice atmosphere. If ever in the area again we would revisit. Thank you TripAdvisor you make it easy to make informed decision when your away from home

Early dinner on sunday with family. Food was delicious and generous portions, Infact, it would be good if there were smaller pasta size options available, so can try starters too, ( small appetites in our group!! ) but otherwise, a great experience. Friendly staff - attentive service by Adrian. We will be back to try the sunday roast and mid week menu.

Fantasic food and service, Adrian was fabulous and looked after us all night. Food and drinks were lovely and we all had a great time x

Birthday treat. Amazing food especially the Calamari fritti antipasti. Staff are very friendly. Adrian was excellent. Great relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Heard so much great things about this place and wasn't disappointed The food was amazing , really high standard. The staff are so attentive, Adrian was brilliant Really reasonable prices Definitely be back

Delicious, authentic Italian food served in generous portions in a cosy, relaxed setting, attentively waited on by Adrian. We’ll be back. Grazie!

Great food, excellent service from Aarain, he was friendly and well informed. The burgers are really something special. No complaints.

Amazing food and great service. Would recommend the pesto pasta as it was delicious. Thanks to Adrian and the rest of the team!

Amazing place, great selection of drinks and best food ever, scallop special recommended by our server Adrian was best of the best. thanks to all for a great dinner. highly recommend a visit to Verona

Amazing food and service as always - this place is always a go-to when out in Newton. Special shout out to Adrian who was fantastic and always is whenever we dine here. Thank you!

What a great place. Great service and food. The special kind of place to take somebody special. No rush to get you out after you finished. Good chilled wine and sociable servers. The competition in the area is fierce but anybody would be right at home here. Loved it.

this place was on our list for a long time but..., been here now and without a doubt will come again ,great atmosphere, very tasty food and 5 star service with a cheeky smile by Adrian.

Great food and service just lost a star as the steel backed chairs where freezing on my back and not comfortable

We are never disappointed with the Verona, the food and service are always first class, we went for Sunday dinner and it was excellent as was our waiter Adrian, if I have a complaint I just wish he wouldn’t keep recommending that we have a dessert, which was also excellent.

Really nice atmosphere, good food and a decent price. Our server, Adrian was excellent. We will definitely be returning.

We had our “post” Xmas party here on Friday night, we requested the small side room As they were 25 of us. Everything was really good, service was 100% they are on point, fast efficient with drinks etc. We pre ordered the food to make...

Really nice atmosphere, great food, very reasonably priced. Thank you Adrian for providing excellent service. Will bring the family back again.

Great service, lovely food, nice atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone. Definitely worth a visit. The special pizza is a great choice

Brilliant place! The food and service was outstanding. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back 💚🤍❤️

Food is always amazing well worth a visit

We are delighted with this restaurant. The service is second to none. We had a disabled member and a gluten-free member in our party. They were able to accommodate both. The food is amazing . Something for everyone. Chris, the manager, went above and beyond...

For the 3rd time after requesting to sit elsewhere they tried to sit us (4 adults) in the so called booths. Really need to do something about that area as every time we go other people ask to sit elsewhere too.. Food is really good...

Delicious food in a lovely, relaxed venue. Charlotte looked after us brilliantly and even brought some optional extra coulis with desserts. I’d love to sit in the garden in the summer.

This place is fabulous. Nothing is too much trouble, the food and staff are both excellent. Highly recommend. This is becoming a local of ours at the weekend and for date nights in the week.

Thank you to Adrian and staff for another fabulous meal last night, service spot on and food delicious. Thank you for always accommodating our daughter’s fussy eating and for making our favourite pasta which isn’t on the Sunday menu. Happy New year to you all....

Great food with great service from Adrian. Garlic bread, and pasta dishes were delicious. Would recommend!

Went as a party of 14. Adrian was taking care of us. Food was great, tasted great, looked great and arrived in a timely manner. Good atmosphere, good food, good service!

Visited with family tonight for the first time would definitely go back, lovely staff staff we were served by Adrian who w as really good checking we had everything we needed, food was delicious plenty of choice on menu

It was as busy night in between Christmas and new year. Lovely meal just a bit difficult to catch the waitresses eye for things like the bill and extra drinks as they were so busy.

Third time in a row this has been awful.Burnt blackened pizza. Dry garlic bread. Waitress who was offhand and brought us our returned pizzas back to tell us they were not bad just that the oven was very hot. We visit Italy 3 times a...

Booked a table for 3 at Verona for 7pm on the 20th December 2023 a week in advance, called them up last night at 6.47 pm to inform them that we are on our way and would be 15-20 minutes late and the lady on...

Arrived early first time at Verona staff were fab really friendly and down to earth food was lovely and really tasty penne carbonara epic and the Don burger was delicious birthday card for my hubby was a lovely touch will deffo return x

Great service for a large party to cele rate a birthday with family. Food was lovely and enjoyed by all. Thank you, Adrian was very helpful.

I've not been here for many years, and it has significantly improved since my last visit. The staff were attentive, and the food was delicious and well presented. It was a shame to only have a limited menu for lunchtime, but understandable given that the restaurant was fairly empty.

Dreadful Booked a table for Christmas Day. Been there last 3 years Asked for a booth as one of the party was elderly and partially blind. 3 times was told booth was confirmed. On the day they had forgotten to book booth and we were given a small dirty table with hard metal seats. I complained but then they lied to me and told nothing they could do. Supervisor was very rude and wasn’t remotely interested even though she admitted it was her fault. She brought some dirty cushions for us to put on our chairs which I refused. They brought us the wrong food and also gave me the wrong bill at the end. When they finally brought the correct bill , it had a £33 service charge added which I was not informed about. They grumpily removed it and were very rude when taking my payment. We will never visit again after years of eating there. Absolutely disgraceful. Thanks for ruining Christmas Day

A comfortable and warm atmospheric restaurant. The service was lovely, pleasant and helpful. The beer selection was of a good standard plus i was told there is a cocktail bar upstairs. The food was delicious especially the meatballs. There are menu's to cater most too. Kids menu, Vegan/vegetarian menu. The portion was perfect for one person and i didnt feel overwhelmed by quantity. The price was surprisingly decent too. I had two courses and a bierra moretti and it was less than £30. Waiting times was very quick also considering it was moderately busy. Well done guys. I would return 👍🏽

Steak was excellent as where the peppercorn sauce and chips. Great value for money and excellent service from Adrian
