Wonderful place for both food and service. This small intimate restaurant is a change from the noisy sports bars etc. that are so popular now, plus they don't have a TV!

Everything about The Veranda is outstanding. From the service to the food, it has to be rated as one of the top Italian restaurants in Tidewater.

The veranda never disappoints. We’ve been there several times and have yet to have a questionable meal. We tried various things on the menu and they are all excellent. This is a family owned business and they do amazing job consistently. We recommend this restaurant without exception!

Carbonara was one of the best I’ve had. Garlic shrimp appetizer was good. Very flavorful. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. Our server was extremely polite and accommodating. The restaurant itself is quaint and inviting. Would definitely return

We went to The Veranda for a date night and we couldn’t have asked for a more intimate, romantic ambience. The food was exquisite, the service exemplary. We will definitely be going back.
