    Vero is where the Palo Alto locals go for a homey Italian meal. They also have a great wine selection. Don't miss the Lasagna and read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

    Don't miss the off-menu Bucatini All'Amatriciana. The noodles are always perfectly chewy & al dente and the sauce is so bright, flavorful, and delicious. I've become kind of obsessed with this pasta. Read more

    Great gnocchi (and I'm an gnocchi snob) and very decent sized portions. Flour less chocolate cake was warm and melt in your mouth! Very reasonably priced and nice service! Good vegetarian options!

    Had the mahi mahi special and was pleasantly surprised by how well prepared it was. Mushrooms were tough though. Appetizers were mostly good though none of us finished the eggplant.

    If you can't snap your fingers and be in Italia, you can at least enjoy an authentic dining experience here with local, organic ingredients.

    Eggplant parm was wonderful, and the "salame di cioccolato" dessert was just amazing. Highly recommended.

    It's fine. It's mediocre and overpriced.
