La Veranda

“My first time at La Veranda, and im definitely coming back ! My family and I had such a great time. Wonderful, delicious food. Our server Wolfpack Chris made our night, we never waited long, he always made sure we had everything and was so good to our baby. And the buser James, had everything spotless clean. :)”

“My wife found this gem on TikTok and we had to try and let me say, its worth every penny. Rose took amazing care of us, she made us feel like family and not just a customer. The Lamb Chops were the best, and also the Linguini Positano an amazing dish. We went to celebrate her birthday and had a Italian cheesecake to finish the night. The restaurant interior is very cozy, dark and romantic. Perfect for date night.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful evening at La Veranda Italian Restaurant in Pompano Beach! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. A huge congratulations to the manager, Celso — he is a truly exceptional host who made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our entire visit. His warmth and attention to detail really elevated the experience. The food was outstanding — fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. Every dish brought back beautiful memories of our Italian roots, like being transported straight to Italy. The atmosphere is cozy, elegant, and perfect for a relaxing dinner with great company. The service was superb from start to finish — attentive, friendly, and professional. We highly recommend La Veranda to anyone looking for delicious Italian cuisine in a warm setting. Ignore those bad reviews — they are not true at all! This is a gem of a restaurant with a fantastic team. We’ll definitely be back soon! Thank you, Celso and the entire team! ❤️”

“Had a 6:45pm reservation…called at 6:20pm to advise we were running late and would be there by 7pm. Was told, no worries. Got to the valet parking at 7:00pm had my hubby get our table while I waited in line for parking….and when my hubby got to the reception by 7:05pm was told we were late and had to wait for a table. Almost 20 mins went by and a line began to form for those guests now arriving. I approached the reception again and politely asked, “Excuse me, you haven’t forgotten about us, right?” 😳 Finally got to our table and the bottle of Pinot Grigio we wanted, they were out. The other Pinot could only be ordered by the glass 🙄. Ordered the “special baked clams” for appetizers and was amazing surprised to see the smallest “special” baked clams ever…I believe these were the same type of little neck clams they use in the meals we ordered 😕. You would think things would have gotten a bit better…not! Wanted the lobster ravioli…they were out…😱. Our bread came after our meals were served. Hubby got the linguini Positano which had lots of calamari, some mussels, some clams and TWO shrimps. I had the seafood risotto….which was more of a soup consistency….not at all a risotto and had same seafood as my hubby’s and also with TWO shrimps. Our waitress was accommodating and took my “soup” back to the kitchen to be corrected. She was very professional and really tried her best to please us by providing us a complimentary affogato for our dessert. Would we try La Veranda again or recommend it….sadly not! Was really hoping for a great dining experience as we had a year ago but felt it no longer is a top notch restaurant! 🤷🏼‍♀️”
