Verona in Glasgow City

First visit here and won’t be our last. We had lunch here on our way to a show at the Pavilion Theatre which is nearby. Very friendly staff, lovely restaurant and extensive menu. The focaccia is light and tasty - yum. Spaghetti carbonara and the Casareccia primavera were cooked to perfection. A bottle of wine and some excellent coffee rounded off a very good lunch. No time for pudding as we were heading to the theatre but looking forward to returning to this restaurant.

We had the pre theatre dinner menu. Plenty of choice. Food was delicious. Great value for money. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely decor. Highly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant.

First time dining at Verona yesterday and can't wait to go back. Food was excellent, really tasty, lovely wine and the service was excellent. If you're looking for great Italian food with great service and atmosphere, get yourself along to Verona 😁

Food was delicious, staff were very friendly, prices were incredibly reasonable. Highly recommend.

Food was good, options gave a good range. Drinks were limited in options. Would recommend if looking for a non-chain Italian restaurant.

The best food, service and atmosphere...

A great find on the way to the city centre late on a Friday night. Food was amazing and so full of flavours. Staff friendly and value for money, will definitely return. Wine prices very reasonable and restaurant setting nice and relaxed.

Italian resturant in city center a excellent food and service my son had the steak and I ordered a risotto with sea food. The presentation is amazing the plate is an art. The price of the steak is a bit high.

Food was well presented but lacked flavour that you would expect from an Italian restaurant

The food was good but a little expensive. Good luck. Thank you, Kak Muhammad.

Fantastic restaurant, staff brilliant ,food magic

excellent service wonderful food everything was very nice and hospitable staff especially mamad thank you

Very friendly and curteous staff, very nice ambiance and the food was authentic italian and delicious! 10/10 recommend. Good for a family dinner but also good for a date!

Fantastic food! We opted for the Pre- Theatre menu which had a great selection - the a la Carte menu is vast! Everything was excellent; staff were lovely. Would definitely go back.

Called ahead to confirm that the price of the 2 course weekday lunch menu was £14.95 and that it included wine or Prosecco as per the website stated, to be informed that it did so booked a table. On arrival several staff were sitting on a table near kitchen and there was only 1 table of diners in the restaurant so pretty quiet looking. Despite the lack of customers the waiter was very unhelpful, first we asked what the soup of the day was and he stated “broth”, my mother asked if it was vegetable or chicken and he looked pretty annoyed to be asked such a question and went and asked the chef who advised it was vegetable! He then disappeared to attend to the other table’s bill and when he came back to take the drinks order we asked for the wine that was included with the 2 course lunch, he looked perplexed and advised that the 5pm deal included a glass of Prosecco… at the very end of the meal! We stated it wasn’t a 5pm booking and we had looked on the website that stated wine or Prosecco was included with the lunch, he looked confused and went to ask someone and mumbled something about it being changed while he was on holiday! He came back and advised that the wine could be taken at the end of the meal! Why would we want the wine at the end of the meal other than so they can make us buy other drinks at the start of the meal! Never in all my years of hospitality experience have I heard of such a ridiculous lunch deal! At this point we left the restaurant. So the business just lost potentially £80 or more of business because of this unprofessional waiter who didn’t even know the soup of the day or the current lunch offer on the website. His attitude was miserable and unfriendly so we thought we would instead visit a restaurant who wanted our custom and that’s exactly what we did! Such a shame for the business owner to have such poor representation in their company, having worked in hospitality I know good customer service and this is the low end of the scale. Won’t be back and don’t recommend sadly.

Absolutely first class service, staff were all lovely, chatty and very welcoming. The food was incredible too, we loved every single course and I couldn’t recommend this place enough!!

Had dinner here this evening after the GFT. Lovely warm welcome. Ordered glasses of house wine (Sicilian) which was really good value. Shared a Bruschetta for starter followed by spaghetti pescatora and penne alla arrabiata. Asked if we wanted a break between courses which is part of good service. I know there are various reviews but our experience was one which we both enjoyed.

Great lasagne and manager is very nice and welcoming

Amazing food everything was perfectly cooked. Will definitely be back😋

Had a really tasty seafood pasta which i felt i had to review as i am not, generally, a lover of pasta but was tempted by the seafood. Will definitely be back.

Steak really fatty right through. Tiramisu like a block of whipped cream. No coffee / marsala wine flavour whatsoever. Salmon and sticky toffee pudding good. Overcharged on bill compared to menu price. Also charged for separate portion of fries that should have came with the steak as they served with rice in error.

We will definitely be returning, the food was outstanding, beautiful decor & atmosphere & the waiter was amazing & friendly 10/10

The first time I've been in here and it didn't dissapoint, the food was great and the guy who served us was very pleasant.

Carmine, the waiter, was so nice and helpful. Food is real Italian food cooked by Michael. A real treat!

Spectacular dinner. Carmine, the waiter, super friendly and attentive, everything was exquisite. I recommend this restaurant 100%.

A friend and I had the pre-theatre meal last the bruschetta and carbonara was delicious and amazing service was also great

Fab restaurant. Staff really nice. Will definitely be back 😃

Everything is exquisite 👌🏼 Our Garzón Caramel's attention was very kind and cordial... he recommended very good dishes, good prices.

Since our last visit 5 years ago, the restaurant has had a full refurbishment, and it looks very stylish and obviously professionally done. We chose the 3-course pre-theatre menu which was great value for money. Food was authentic Italian and really delicious. The tiramisu was especially tasty! Thank you to the friendly staff who looked after us. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Everything was delicious, the employees were caring and kind. It was an experience we will never forget. We thank Mr. Özkan for his interest.

Excelent deal, relation price-quality and attention

Food was ok, I've had better pizza and pasta elsewhere, not worth the price. Waiter was nice. However, service was extremely slow. I booked a table for 7, and the food took over an hour to arrive! This could be expected with a larger table but 4 tables of 4 came in after us and were served and finished their meals before ours arrived. I would not eat here again, I did not feel very welcome. My group were all younger than the people at other tables but, we were polite and dressed well - I feel like the service was poorer for us because those other tables were older people and the restaurant seemed to care more about them. The manager guy was quite cheeky when we had to rush to leave too! - We had somewhere else to be at 7pm, we sat down in the restaurant 20 past 5. There was no good reason for our meals to take so long.

I am writing whilst waiting for them to recalculate our bill after over charging. This was just one of many disappointing things about Verona. The service is truly awful, they barely came to check on the table and take dishes away. Worst thing was they screwed up our booking, claiming it was for the previous day despite proof that it wasn't, saying it was our fault. Overpriced too.

Delicious food and good service. Good pre theatre menu.

The food is really nice, but the waiter and owner of the restaurant were way too chatty, asking invasive personal questions, even though I clearly showed that I don't want to engage with them in a conversation and it happened to me several times already. Probably not visiting ever again.

Lovely food, attentive and friendly staff.

Service was excellent and the chef came out to enquire about our meals. Thd mussels as a starter were my highlight. Would definitely go back.

Lovely food and friendly service. Bargain lunch menu.

Staff were nice, starters were good, the lasagne was watery, however, they have started adding a service charge, for a table of 10 I get it, but for a table of 2? Come on, I left the exact money and didn't tip. As I'll do with anywhere putting a service charge on.

Had a table booked tonight to have dinner with my daughter. We arrive slightly early but were seated right away. I explained my daughter would struggle to eat from the set Christmas menu and it was no problem as we were given the main menu with no questions asked. All of the staff were extremely friendly and checked in with us often despite how busy they were. The starters arrived and were bigger than most mains. I had the mussels and they were the best I have ever had. There was a gap between the starter and main but I really liked that, that you did not feel rushed with the next course being served as soon as plates were moved. After those starters, we were glad of the break. Both girls and the Glaswegian guy working were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. I considered changing my booking after seeing some reviews on here. I am so glad I didn’t and so wanted to share my excellent experience. I can’t wait to go back soon. Thank you 🙂

I visited Verona’s Glasgow with a group of seven, including a baby and two children, on Saturday the 9th December 2023, and I regret to say our experience was deeply disappointing. Initially, we faced an issue with high chairs;they were unable to give us one? Despite no other children in the restaurant? One was eventually provided but it was dirty, with traces of mouldy food, necessitating a request for cleaning. The service was far from satisfactory. Menus were not cleared from our table, and the wait time for our food was unreasonably long, leading us to forgo dessert entirely. Adding to our frustration, we were charged for a three-course set menu, a detail not communicated to us beforehand, and the options available were extremely underwhelming. The staff’s demeanor significantly detracted from our dining experience. They appeared stressed, engaged in arguments amongst themselves, and in one alarming instance, a staff member accidentally knocked over my friend. Our requests for children’s menus were met with abrupt responses and eventual neglect, as we never received them. When we enquired about options for the children, we were vaguely told they could have any pizza or pasta. Our request for macaroni seemed to confuse the staff, who questioned if we wanted tomato in it – a query that struck us as unusual. Further unsettling was witnessing two women engaging in illegal drug use in the bathroom while I was waiting with my child. Moreover, our table was not provided with Christmas crackers, unlike others, and we had to specifically request them for the kids. While they were provided without hassle, it was another oversight in a series of disappointments. In conclusion, our visit to Verona’s Glasgow was marked by poor service, inadequate facilities, and a general lack of attention to detail. The experience was not only disappointing but also expensive, and it has dissuaded us from returning.

Just back home from a fabulous lunch ,to catch up with family for Christmas , been plenty of times before to this place so it doesn't disappoint, good value ,home made tiramisu was excellent , we were a party ot 6 ,and the service was great thank you guys ,be back soon ..

Xmas Dinner absolutely rubbish service rubbish

Really disappointing, made to wait for 25 minutes at the freezing front door (even though we booked weeks in advance, and there were two empty tables!). When we finally were given a table it was in direct line to the door and the freezing cold draft that made it bitterly cold and uncomfortable. Service was so slow, we were very much mislead with the Christmas menu. Bruschetta starter was wrong, but i was so hungry i ate it. Waited over 30 minutes for mains to come out, which were wrong again - vegetarian risotto with chicken?! It wasn't remotely like that what was described on the menu - no broccoli, no mushrooms, no peppers, literally just chicken and onion. We had to eat scolding hot food in less than 5 minutes (i wish i was kidding) as our taxi was waiting outside. Asked 3 people for the bill, which was massively inflated, queried and it was discounted thankfully. Did not agree with the service charge being added on and if we had more time i would have asked for it have been removed, you cannot dictate how much a customer should tip, especially when the service was so poor. Don't waste your time, there are much better places to eat in the city.

Not the best experience. Arrived to find out Al a carte menu wasn't on, even though being advertised online. Ask the manager on arrival if we could have fillet steak, he checked and confirmed no problem. Starter came after 50 minute wait, waited a further 30 minutes to find out we were being served sirloin , but tbh it looked and tasted more like minute steak.

Unfortunately my friends and I had a terrible experience in Verona last night. I had booked a table for 3 people weeks in advance but we were made to wait at the front door, hanging around and in the way for nearly 30 minutes. We were expecting to order from a pre theatre menu but were given a Christmas one which for some weird reason had different times to a pre theatre set meal, so the most expensive options took effect from 3.45pm...? We only had a set amount of time and given the delay in getting seated, we were conscious we'd need to be in and out pretty quickly. Our table was right in front of the doors, so not a nice seat with the wind wrapping around our ankles every time the door opened. Our starters came and were OK but them we waited 25 mins for our main. During this time we asked 3 different people for the bill so we could bolt as soon as we'd eaten. We had 5 mins to eat our food as our taxi was prebooked to collect us at 6pm. When my vegetarian risotto arrived, there was huge lumps of chicken throughout. I was too hungry to complain and ate around the chicken but I am a vegetarian and if I'd had time, would have sent it back. Our bill was £140 which was a total joke. I complained and some drinks were taken off the price but overall it was not a nice experience and I'm really disappointed as I'd arranged this for my friends birthday. Will NOT be returning again.

Great menu with fantastic choice and good value for money polite welcoming staff service was amazing

Fantastic Italian restaurant. Veggie and meat calzones were brilliant and the profiteroles were amazing

Bad Italian and incorrect prices. We thought we would have a lunchtime special priced at £14.95 per person for 2 courses. We ordered King Prawns and a Prawn cocktail for starters and a Spaghetti Bolognese and Penne Arabiata for the main. Thinking we were paying £14 95 each we were told that there was a supplement of £2,50 for the King Prawns and £1,50 extra for the Prawn Cocktail. As well as a supplement of £2 for the Spaghetti Bolognese! We has 2 glasses of red wine also. The King Prawns were small and had no taste. The Prawn Cocktail was OK but bread that accompanied was stale and not home baked as advertised. The Spaghetti Bolognese was OK but I can't understand when Lasagne that was also on the menu had no supplement considering it is a pasta with Bolognese sauce but prepared differently. The Penne Arabiata was disgusting. Swimming in grease and tasteless, the only thing I can say is that the food was hot. Most of the meal was left and when the waiter asked if we enjoyed it we said no. No offer of compensation or a free drink was offered. We won't be back again. The meal came to £51.70

Very nice restaurant, great food and good staff, reasonable prices.

Dear Chef and staff, We had a meal in Verona last night, all five of us were blown away with how good the food was, so good that my friend said it was the best food she had ever tasted! I had the spaghetti with the fresh capers, tomatoes and olives it was delicious. Thank you chef! The service and care at the table was lovely. All round great experience.

Fantastic, tasty fresh food that had been cooked to perfection and all five of us were totally blown away. Thank you chef for your culinary brilliance . The whole experience was great.

A diamond in the ruff a bit out of the main city centre but defo worth a visit food amazing all staff very accommodating very relaxing and a great start to your evening would highly recommend.

Great food, excellent service, buzzy This is a smartly run Italian restaurant which serves classics cooked really well. The chicken risotto is worth a special mention.

Se sei italiano la regola è che all'estero non devi andare nei ristoranti italiani, ma io sono sempre all'estero per lavoro quindi ogni tanto devo fare uno strappo......la cosa che mi fa imbestialire è trovare un locale italiano gestito da personale NON italiano.....sono stati un po rudi nel servirmi, mi hanno messo nel piatto dell'antipasto una porzione di burro nella vaschettina tipo colazione, la carne era discreta ma mi hanno servito un calice di vino rosso della casa.....annacquato!!! Ho chiesto se avevano una bottiglia di acqua San Pellegrino e sullo scontrino c'era ma mi hanno portato una bottiglietta differente. Da italiano.....evitate!!!!

Beautiful meals, big up to the chef 🧑‍🍳. Wow the meals are very tasty 👅, but the service is next to zero, no one asks you how is your meal, and you need to look for the waiter all the time. If they can fire all waiters and employ people with great customer service that will be the best restaurant in Glasgow city centre. I had to ask for a bill, unfortunately, there was nobody available to order the dessert from.

This has become one of my new favourite Italian restaurants, great food, wonderful staff and an overall lovely environment

Great food and cocktails. Dined on 2 course meal and was great value.

Great lunch. Food fantastic and service first class. Very reasonably priced

Visited recently , ordered carbonara which was good, tho maybe the bacon needed a little more caramelisation. The garlic bread with mozzarella and onions was excellent, dessert was decent though the ice cream was over frosted. Service was superb.

Excellent experience in town for the evening and the food was excellent, atmosphere was great and service was on point!!!

My Sone had got me the Voucher for my birthday so we went and Wow what a lovely Lunch we had the Food and Service was Amazing the place clean & tidy the Verona doesn’t look inviting from the outside but once your through the doors it’s a true dining experience we shall go back sometime 10/10

One of my favourite Restaurants is Verona.lovely staff and excellent service and food.

Brilliant place. Highly recommended 👌

On out resent visitto Glasgow for a break westumvled acroos thislo ely Italian restaurant the staff couldn't be anymore helpful...went there for dinner but didn't realise they were going to close but they let us eat...pasta was delicious and staff very nice made myself and my partner feel very welcome... the owner himself came out to talk to us ..portions and pri es are very good...so good we went there again today for lunch before we travelled home...the lunch menu is very reasonable and the portion size is very good for the price...we had a 2 course lunch for under £15 ... also a nice touch was they remember you and ask how you are...definitely recommend this lovely Italian restaurant we will definitely be back!.... bon appetite 😋

Netter Service, sehr leckeres Essen. Ab und zu kommt der Koch mal aus der Küche um der heißen Temperatur zu entfliehen und plauscht mit den Gästen.

Consistently outstanding food. Possibly the best Italian food in Glasgow, and the best mussels anywhere! Great value, too, especially on the pre- theatre menu. Could be perfect with more attentive service, but overall still 5 stars.

Lovely food and a nice house wine

Food lovely as usual. Very big portions. Good value. Nice surroundings

Lovely pizza, nice staff and genuinely great prices

Lovely rustic Italian setting. Good food and service. Would definitely return. Unique sink in ladies.

Lovely little place. Lunch time menu superbly priced.

Had a delicious 3 course meal and a lovely bottle of house white wine. Service was great will most definitely be back ❤️

Eleganckie przyjemne miejsce.Pyszne jedzenie . obsługa bardzo mila.Bardzo polecam.Wrórce napewno.

Great service, food was great. Had the pre-theatre tiger prawn starter and sirloin. Steak was tender, juicy and cooked exactly as I asked, great flavour and well seasoned.

I was in Glasgow on a business trip, and decided to bring my mum and daughters with me for the ride. Trying to find a restaurant that the girls agree to (one is unbelievably fussy) is a mission in itself, but here was definitely a hit with them. The waiters even made jokes with them, which I thought was lovely. The food...one word...amazing!! As soon as you walk in, the waiters cannot do enough. My mother and I had 3 courses, and my two teenage daughters had 2 courses (main and pudding). We all had empty plates. I had minestrone soup, delicious. Spaghetti carbonara, delicious. And for dessert, the profiteroles. TO DIE FOR!!! If I'm ever back in Glasgow, I'll certainly be returning to this little gem of a restaurant, and I'll be recommending it to anyone that I know who's in the city. Thank you 😊

Always enjoy going here, great service and food.

The food was delicious especially the mussels

Went to Verona on Saturday for parents birthday lunches. Staff were very friendly and kept us all entertained. The bar tender was brilliant great chat and served some delicious cocktails! Food was well presented and very very tasty. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back again 😀

One of my favourite places for high quality Italian food, spotless, fair prices and they have wonderful mussels

We came here before a concert at the end of January. Service was first class, we were seated promptly, drinks order taken not long after and then the food order. We shared a side for our starter and I had Mushroom risotto for my main while my partner had Carbonara. Both dishes were extremely delicious and the whole experience was value for money. We will certainly be back

Had the Salmon,mussels and prawns 5☆Loved it

We came in on the off chance of grabbing a table. The man at the front of house said we could but he needed it back ASAP and we needed to be quick. The service was then really slow, the starters were quick to come out but the mains took a good half hour at least to come out. The food was okay but nothing to really shout about but it was decent value for many as we got 2 courses for £20 on the pre theatre menu.

Nice surroundings but a bit too noisy. Good food , service slow although staff pleasant.

Visited here with my husband. Clean and nice looking restaurant. Service and food excellent.Prices for lunch and pre theatre really good. Only downside is step from ladies which I fell down and really hurt myself. Although staff were very helpful I am left with swollen ankle legs and shoulder.I was lucky but anyone else it may have been much worse. I believe has occurred before here . This issue must be addressed before they are sued by someone really injured.

Staff always very friendly and attentive. Food was excellent as always. Would recommend it to anyone

My sister took me here while I was on vacation to Scotland . The food was amazing! We both had lasagna. It was a lot for one person. The staff were great and we were served within 15min. the only thing I would say it was a bit noisy maybe as we sat behind the kitchen near thd door . I loved it though and will definitely go back 👌

I won't be back. Booked 10/12 for pre-theatre per website and previous visit. On arrival we were handed a 'Christmas Menu'. A much shortened version of the pre-theatre with only a 3 courses and much more expensive. Too late to go anywhere else. The waitress corrected my wife's pronunciation of 'bruschetta', wrongly (she speaks Italian), tried to take away unfinished wine and then tried to take away my wife's plate before she was finished. The desert, which we didn't really want was poor with cheap spray cream. The restaurant was also really cold. When I asked if the 10% 'service' charge which was added was optional the reply I got was 'it's Christmas'. I wasn't asked what was wrong. When I asked again I received a curt, 'you don't have to pay it if you don't want to'. I didn't. You already had your Christmas with the poor overpriced menu. NB: you don't have to fleece your customers at Christmas. You've missed the point! You have a better pre-theatre menu at £19.95 than the limited £29 Christmas menu. Plus I don't mind paying a service charge if the service is good.

Food was lovely, service friendly and prompt.

We celebrated our anniversary with lunch at Verona. First visit, amazing food, staff were so friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend 👌 xx

Fantastic, couldn't find fault with anything, first class.

The food is delicious, prices are ok and the service is very quick and thoughtful. Would definitely recommend

This is our first time back after Covid and to our surprise the place has been refurbished. The bar has moved and its created a far better space for dining, thankfully the same owner and staff are in place and a warm welcome ensued. Would highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Warm and inviting. Staff friendly and quick service. I would come back here and recommend to friends.

Very tasty food and fairly quick service. Staff were attentive without being in your face. Peroni on tap too rather than just bottles was a big plus for our group. Prices were competitive. Everyone around us appeared to be enjoying their meals too.

Nice atmosphere. Food was delicious. Staff were really attentive to us and nothing was a problem. Prices were reasonable as well. Would definitely return. There were 6 of us and a few turned up quite late but this wasn't an issue whereas some places would be trying to hurry you along.

Excellent food great atmosphere

Lovely food, friendly atmosphere and great service, excellent value for money
