A great experience! Thank you for making our evening amazing! We are from out of town, and this was our first time at La Verona. All of the reviews I read were spot on. The staff, especially Lalo, were warm and sincere and made us feel welcome and at home. The meals were spectacular! We started with Calamari, Grilled Octopus and Frogs legs all fresh and delectable. The homemade pasta in our entrees is King. I had the special; seafood over noodles made with local mushrooms. Just perfect. I tried some of my daughter's dish of Gnocchi and I now know what I will be ordering when we return. It's cool when you find a place like La Verona to recommend to friends and family when visiting the Kennett Square area.
