vero amore

loved it. just right cesesr salad followed by exceptional thincrustpizza.

so delicious!!. this was my boyfriend and i first time at the new temporary location. as foodies we had high expectations and they were blown away. the waitstaff all the way around was amazing, prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and very service orientated. we had the calamari which was nice lightly breaded and very tasty, but the sauce was spectacular the wasabi ranch was just zingy enough, we ordered more just to put on the pizza! the pizza itself was delicious the sauce was flavorful andcrustwas light. i am normally not a dessert person but greg (our fantastic waiter) suggested the white chocolate cherry gelato with our panna cotta, the best flavor combination of the evening!! it was light and creamy, the gelato was flavorful without being sugary. we will definitely be a repeat customer!! the atmosphere was nice, very clean, slightly industrial, great music selection and not too loud, and the tables were not cramped together.

i had lived in iraly for ten years, and also make my iwn pizza at home. "vero amore" has very good thincrustpizza. restaurant has a pleasant atmospere. good choice of beers (the nut brown amber was very tasty). would come here again.

stick with the pizza. on past occasions we enjoyed the margherita pizza with fresh basil and the split caesar salad.

we went for a 7:30pm friday dinner expecting excellence. boy, were we disappointed.

the caesar salad was tasty as always.

the ravioli was mediocre at best, swimming in sauce, and the sauce tasted of too many dried herbs. three cheese ravs and three not very crabby crab ravs.

the lasagna arrived at the table piping hot with much melted cheese in a sea of sauce, little pasta and much chewy meats. on the first bite i realized that this is just another wannabe italian meal. tasting like all the other restaurants where the chef thinks oregano should dominate the flavors.

who is doing the taste testing?---surely they are not italians.

the antonio sanguinetti super tuscan was fabulous and my wife enjoyed the zonin prosecco.

service was attentive, alert and friendly.

summary---we both could not wait to get home and brush our teeth.

friday night at vero amore. friday evening we went to vero amore with friends. we waited outside for about ten minutes and were then seated. our server was prompt and attentive. water with lemon arrived quckly. then came the bottle of wine and then the antipasto platter which was shared by the four of us. we ordered several pizza margheritas. it was good pizza, thincrustand fine blending of ingredients. the ambience was smooth and subtle.
