The food is absolutely delicious and the prices so cheap, such a surprise for a little pizzeria all scratch made & amazing.
I love this place! Don't be fooled by the quaint size of this place, the food is so good, always! I eat here as often as I can. The prices are very good and the portions are perfect. I'm still working my way through the menu and so far I recommend everything. They have daily specials and a lunch buffet. They are also licensed to sell you carryout wine (woot!). If you are lucky you might even show up when they are serving free samples of things they are trying out with new recipes / menu items. If you haven't tried this place, you should... If you have been here before, you know you need to come back in for some of that wonderful lasagne and to catch up with the charming owner :)
Food was great. Service was pretty good. I heartily recommend the Chicken Parmesan, which was well seasoned and used fresh mozzarella, and is enough for 2 meals. Garlic bread was really good, and my wife really liked the house lite Italian. Very casual atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
This place has very good food and prices are quite reasonable. My wife had spaghetti & meatballs and I had veal Marsala. Both were very good and just the right amount. The owners sauces are very good. We will be back. I want to try the chicken or veal piccata the next time.
Fantastic place for Italian food in Columbus. Have been going there for years, but had to recently start getting take out because of the new baby.
The portions are very large, the flavor is always perfect and the owner couldn't be nicer.
We've recommended this place too many of our friends, and every one of them have been blown away by how delicious it is.
Definitely prefer this over all of the other Italian restaurants.
I really like the place. The food is really good. My daughter loves the pizza. Indy fav is the lobster ravioli. I spoke with the owner tonight and he was very nice. Everything is homemade. Prices are reasonable.

Good food every time.. Been here quite a few times, and never gotten a bad dish. They have high quality pizza here that tastes great, better than most places in Columbus and I'm surprised more people don't know that. I mean we're talking like better than Late Night Slice, Flying Pizza, Pie's and Pints, Adriaticos, or Dante's for those pizza connoisseurs in Columbus. All of there other dishes are pretty good too, but I would not recommend the ravioli because the portion is too small.
Coupons and deals are there but hard to find, but they are good ones. Prices aren't too bad to start with.
The best chicken Marsala in Columbus!
Fantastic Italian Fare. My husband & I grew up in a small town with great pizza & pasta. Since moving to Columbus, we have not been able to find anything that compares......until now. We could literally eat here weekly! In fact, we've been here twice this week and we always get the same thing......Spaghetti & Meatballs & Eggplant Parmigiana.
It's a casual establishment in the Hills Market Plaza that we highly recommend.
Absolute best food in town. This is our favorite family restaurant. Their eggplant parm, chicken Marsala and spaghetti and meatballs are the best in town. It has a warm and inviting atmosphere.On two occasions there were power outages due to weather. The owner and staff still cooked with gas and did their best to accommodate clients in candlelight. We have been to all the major Italian restaurants in Columbus and this is by far the best.
Food is phenomenal, and portion sizes are fair but don't expect to take home any leftovers. They use a stone oven to bake, giving their pizza a nice crust. Which are pretty good and fairly priced for the size. They are known for all of their piccata dishes (veal, seafood, and chicken) and I can see why because they are amazing. Only negative thing is that the owner takes some warming up to. He can easily be construed as rude. All in all, pizza earns a 4/5, service 3/5, pasta 6/5. Great restaurant that needs more exposure to do it justice. A bit of warning is that they do sometimes run out of seafood and veal between deliveries, which I think they said is on Thursdays for them. If you want something specific, it's best to call before you go in.
On our first visit, we ordered Chicken Parmesan and Shrimp Scampi----and both were absolutely wonderful. After a brief wait while our dishes were cooked from scratch, we thoroughly enjoyed our dishes. Both were well prepared and servings were generous---and the pasta was absolutely the greatest! To me, this is the tastiest pasta sauce ever! We will return many times to this restaurant for their excellent food. The brief wait is certainly worthwhile!
My husband and I stopped by for lunch the other day. I was going to order the seafood dish that says on the menu it is what they are famous for because it was so delicious the last time we were here. But when the owner said the lasagna had just come out of the oven, I ordered it. I would have to say it was the best lasagna I have ever had in a restaurant! The sauce was so delicious and homemade.The pasta layers were perfectly cooked. My husband had the prosciutto ravioli which was very good,too. One doesn't come here for the atmosphere. You come for the wonderful homemade Italian food!
The owner and chef was enthusiastic about his business and quality of food he served. The location seems central to an upscale neighborhood that will discover Verdi as a great take home carryout. An evening meal prepared by a dedicated chef is a value you can't beat. I recommend you order his Italian cuisine and dine out at home. Comfort food that is prepared with authenticity as his goal. Of course you can get a great pizza pie too for the grandchildren.
I would say Soup Nazi is a pretty good description, but he does warm up if you talk to him. I just consider it part of the "character and ambiance" of the restaurant. The Lobster Ravioli is fantastic, and the Tiramisu also. Also, he came back to our table several times to make sure the food was to our liking. So, just put on your "good humor" hat, grin and bear the personality and enjoy the great food.
Everything is always made 100% fresh and from scratch. Definitely my favorite Italian restaurant in columbus. Great authentic flavors. And while all the negative reviews relate to the owner/server being rude. That was my first impression too, but after watching him hand make my chicken parmigiano from scratch, and having a conversation with him, he has been warm and welcoming everything I have come back. Everything I have had has been wonderfull. A total diamond in the rough.
New York pizza at its finest. I have been searching for a local place near us that serves a great tasting pizza with authentic flavors, not an average chain with the same flavors that do nothing for my palate. Thanks for our Sat night taste of New York Veri Restaurant & Pizzeria!
I am posting this for my mother who enjoyed the food so much that she asked me to post this. This is one of those small venues that you would love to see expand. Thanks for impressing my mother, she is a tough critic!
Fast and friendly service, a good selection of menu items, and very good food. Also a good selection of beer and wine. We love this neighborhood treasure!
Great food and service. Catering works well for parties too. Everything is made from scratch and you can't beat the value.
