1351-D Kelly Lake Rd, Greater Sudbury, ON P3E 5P3, Canada
Fine dining Italian restaurant with creative dishes, wood oven cooking, outdoor patio and award winning wine list.
We arrived early at sat at the bar to enjoy some cocktails before dinner. The bartender was friendly and flexible and made us some really fun drinks using unique ingredients. When sat for dinner, the restaurant was starting to get busy, plus there was a large party, but the server and bartender were very attentive. The presentation of the mains was lacking given the price point (unevenly cut vegetables that were hastily plated along with the meat), but overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. I am looking forward to going back and seeing what new items will be on the menu.
A lady we met hiking in Sault Ste Marie told us to eat here. Luckily her father, Bougy? knew the owner so she told us to tell Mark to treat us well. We arrived at opening but was told we needed reservations...until we mentioned our contact...but Mark said we had to be done by 7. Our young dark haired server was VERY pleasant and efficient and accurate. Our veggie meal was perfect and the coffee and the dessert AND the relaxing story songs. THANKS!!!
From the overall planning to the small details of our wedding day, Verdicchio (Mark, Lara, and team) have made our dream wedding vision come to life. Our day was better than perfect, with a smooth execution, delicious drinks, and spectacular food, we could not have asked for a better day. Thank you so much, Verdicchio Ristorante for such an unforgettable day. Scott and Noemie
Probably Sudbury’s best Italian restaurant but also the most expensive. Excellent staff and service. High quality ingredients with the best tasting desserts. Their pasta is cooked authentically but can seem too firm for me. The salad dishes are a bit disappointing despite the micro-greens as the combinations don’t always work well together and some salads seem too soaked. Also disappointing is the fish dishes—nothing except for farmed raised trouts. How about artic char or wild salmon? Also not much for vegan choices.
I recently had the pleasure of dining here, and it was truly exceptional from start to finish. The food was nothing short of amazing, with each dish showcasing expert culinary craftsmanship and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was perfect, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. Additionally, the service was top-notch, with attentive staff members who were not only knowledgeable about the menu but also genuinely helpful in ensuring a delightful dining experience. Without a doubt, I will be returning, and will enthusiastically recommend it to friends and family looking for a great dining experience.
Had an amazing date night with my wife at this very intimate very traditional restaurant! The appetizers were very flavourful and the risotto was spectacular! The atmosphere was amazing! It was cozy and romantic and overall we had a great time and look forward to returning!
My boyfriend and I went out to Verdicchio for supper for the first time Saturday night at 6:30pm , we didn’t know reservations were required and they were still so accommodating and charismatic to make our first experience there a great one. The service was great and we really loved each plate! The calamari and salmon were great appetizers and the Truffle Ravioli was AMAZING! As our mains we got the clam shrimp pasta and the veal. Everything was great, even the house wine was delicious and I truly don’t even like wine! The prices are definitely $$$, but it is a luxury restaurant. Enjoying a large glass of red wine was a first for me thank you to the Verdicchio staff for making our experience a great one! The bread, olive oil and balsamic vinegar was so great we are still craving it the next day! I
Really wish I could leave a better review but we were honestly pretty disappointed. The service started out great where we were offered a private table in the wine cellar which we thought was unique. Our server brought us wine according to our preference but one of them wasn’t so great. The appetizers weren’t bad but our issue was with the mains. The mussels in the pasta had a foul smell and taste plus I almost chipped a tooth from biting into something really hard (we assume sand and grit from the mussels not being cleaned properly.) So I picked out the rest of the mussels because I didn’t want to get sick which happened shortly after anyways. The veal was alright but nothing crazy. The one thing we did really enjoy were the desserts though. It’s really unfortunate because the presentation of the food was beautiful but the quality and taste were just not matching up. We were also really surprised that our server didn’t bother to do anything after he asked how our meal was and we told him we weren’t happy with our mains. He even saw all the mussels I picked out but still acted completely unfazed. Nothing was discounted or comped from the bill either. Overall, I think we would’ve given a 4 star for effort if he had at least tried to remotely show any level of care but I guess it just wasn’t his priority. Just saying… if they’re charging fine dining prices, their food and service should be on par with that.
Went to a beautiful Gala here, stunning venue
I had the most wonderful dinning experience here. The food was outstanding and the service was incredible. Thank you very much for an experience I will never forget
Excellent service, food and atmosphere. Everything was on point. Fantastic restaurant, best Italian restaurant in Greater Sudbury.
Came for Stan Stratos celebration of life(a very beloved Uncle)... They did an amazing job and the venue was beautiful. Wish I was not 8 hours away. Food
I have eaten in a number of great restaurants around the world. I had a carpaccio and an osso bucco at Verdicchio this evening. I have to say that it was one of the finest meals that I have ever had. Very impressive. Well done.
As good as it gets in Sudbury.
Food was delicious however, I found my dinner to be on the cold side. In their defense I was part of a large ish group. I have been here multiple time and this was the only time I found my food to be cold. Server was very good in making sure our groups needs were met.
Fantastic Italian dining experience for our 5 year anniversary! Had the 4 course meal with pairings and the AAA prime rib was superb and the cake at the end was delicious! Authentic atmosphere, delicious traditional dishes, great service, extensive wine list. Highly recommend for any special occasion. We can t wait to go back!!
AMAZING restaurant. Absolutely one of the best Italian restaurants in canada. We had duck dumplings - it was delicious. Beef cappuccino was delicious! And forgot to take a photo of penne al la vodka - oh my goodness it was one of the best I had in my life. Our waiter Mario was so pleasant too! Best of the best!
One of the best restaurants in Sudbury, the chefs tasting menu was incredible and an absolutely great value. Highly recommend.
Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and the wines. The food was incredible with decent portions. The flavors and textures were perfect. Worth the money.
Honestly great food and beautiful atmosphere. I wouldnt even have known about this restaurant as its in the oddest place but with what the quality of the staff and what was served it can be located anywhere and I would go! I had the veal, it was so tender and my wife had the ravioli and it was spiced to perfection. We will definitely making this one of our main restaurants. Bravo.
Ive lived in Sudbury for 39 yrs and had never gone until a few days ago. This has been the best food, service, and everything in-between. This restaurant will be one that I recommend to anyone
Friendly staff and the gnocchi was top notch.
Amazing dining experience! Food was absolutely delicious and service was great!
The food is outstanding. Authentic and creative dishes representative of the regions of Italy. Will go back over and over.
Excellent experience
Food was very good. Service was very slow.
My best forever restaurant! Was so happy to be going back to Sudbury and finding out that the best service was still provided! ;-) Thank you Marc Gregorini and team!
I was so excited to finally try the food at Verdicchio because of all the great things Ive heard. I was left feeling a bit disappointed and underwhelmed by the experience, though. The food was just okay, the service was slow, and our server was very monotone and not personable. My dish in particular (penne with braised beef short ribs) left a bad taste in my mouth as the beef was super slimy and not well flavored. I will say the salumi platter as a starter was well prepared and the flavors complimented nicely. The atmosphere is also inviting. All that said, I wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, I dont think Ill be back anytime soon.
Great place to eat. We loved the salumi and formaggi boards.
Great service and staff!
Paid 75$ for 3 glasses of wine that cost 16$ for a bottle at lcbo. Have an eye because they dont advertise the price. And dont get the calamari
Verdicchios has a vibe that is unmatched. Their atmosphere is elegant and sexy - perfect for date night. Their menu offers many Italian dishes and the food never disappoints! Highly recommend!
Certainly one of Sudburys very best restaurants.
Once again, Verdicchios has been true to their reputation. The team, Mario, Mark, their attention to detail, presentation, tastes, amazing. I tried the lamd and was blown away with the flavors. Mario recommend the Sorbet for dessert, what a great finish to a beautiful meal. My go to place now.
Beautiful shop. Nice menu selection. Not sure Ill visit often though. Prices are high and the savory dishes didnt knock my socks off. Dessert on the other hand was above average.
The service was wonderful as was the food. Its a wonderful place to go for a family dinner or to catch up with an old friend.
I have just had one of the best meals l ve ever had in a restaurant. No I m not a world traveller but l do know Ontario establishments and have eaten in some of the best. As Arnold would say - l ll be back!!
Was there this past Friday to DJ a wedding. Im from the Hamilton area & was my first time there. Had heard great things about the venue & they were right. From the staff, to the food to the venue, everything was on point & I had a wonderful experience. Thank you to all of you for making it a great day for Leah & Warren & their guests. Dj Rob :-) Ignite Entertainment
Amazing food. And somehow even better service! Shout out to Sandra! Thanks for an amazing experience!
I took my family to Verdicchio s for my daughter s graduation celebration and we had a wonderful time! We were greeted with a smile by their team and lead to a beautiful spot outside under the grapevines. We just relaxed into a lovely dinner experience. Our waiter Bob made us feel comfortable and explained the menu and specials offerings. We all thoroughly enjoyed not only the ambiance, but the food was beautiful and delicious! We all felt very special at that dinner. Clearly these people are on top of their game and care about their patrons. Sincere Thanks Verdicchio s , Mark, Bob and team for an unforgettable evening! We will certainly be back!
The food was delicious and the service was great! Although, it did take almost two hours for our food to be served, and it was a little cold. Other than that, I enjoyed myself. The wait time on the food gave us plenty of time to enjoy a pleasant conversation. :)
Great food great service
Had an amazing at home experience with mark acting as our chef. The meal was one of the best I ve ever had. To top it off he had amazing wine pairings for each course. Mark was extremely accommodating to my wants when planning the menu which involved a totally revamp fairly last minute. He also took care of everything the night of, I was able to sit back and enjoy with my new fiancée. Would highly recommend booking at private chef experience here!
The food here has always been nothing less than amazing. One of our favourite hidden Gems to visit in Sudbury. The wine list is impressive. Food execution near perfection.
We use to go every anniversary! This year we went and were disappointed. The drink menu is nothing like it use to be and the food was also nothing like it use to be. We are gonna find somewhere else to go next year.
Had never been but was excited to try it out with a friend. Seated and given focaccia bread, it was very very oily. Beverage was good and the risotto to start was delicious which gave me hope for the rest. We waited an hour to get our mains (my friend didn t get anything to start so she was starving). When the food arrived her dish smelled fishy but tried it. The mussels were undercooked and her pasta was crunchy. My polenta was dry and bland, greens beans were very under and crunchy. Shrimp was good but for the price we were very disappointed and would not return
What dreams are made of. Verdicchio has a delicious menu, superb wine selection and a gorgeous atmosphere. The perfect spot for any occasion. Their staff are so friendly and passionate about sharing the experience with you. I cant wait to go back!
Your food is always fantastic...the octopi was phenomenal. Im a steak lover and Id rather that octopi than a steak....OMG. SURF AND TURF!
Simply said food is superb
We had a wonderful dining experience on the patio a few weeks ago. The food was phenomenal, and the service was great!
This stop is a hidden gem in the Sudbury area. If youre looking for an exceptional dining experience in the Sudbury area, look no further!
Last time I ate there the food was cold and service not good not inpress . I even gave theem a chance to call me back 2 time . Since the waiter told me that nite no one around . Manament wise I even left message by phone and even went back there . Instead of dealing with the issue they chose to ignore me I have not been back since . And dont recommend this place to any one at all .
There were several aspects of this restaurant that we enjoyed. The personnel was pleasant and helpful, and the service was prompt. The dinners were beautifully presented, and the cuisine was delicious. They had an extensive wine list, but I had a long drive ahead of me and couldnt indulge. Well have to return the next time were in Sudbury for a more casual supper.
My son and his wife chose Verdicchio Restorante as his wedding venue and they could not have chosen a more beautiful place. The ambiance was romantic and intimate, the attention to detail, the food, the service was impeccable!! First class Willie attended to us all personally. Thank you so much for making the evening unforgettable
Very disappointed as recently dined here and food,atmosphere and presentation was terrible. As a well travelled patron who dines out in other cities and locally quite often I feel it s important this establishment works on raising the bar. The prices are high and the food is less than desirable. I will not return nor will I recommend.
Willie, Mark and the entire Verdicchio s team made our intimate and beautiful wedding vision come to life. From the planning to the day of and everything in between, I could not be any happier with how our day went. The patio was perfect, the drinks were great and the food was spectacular. I can t recommend these amazing people enough for any type of event, including the most important one of your life! Thank you Verdicchio Ristorante for going above and beyond to make this day beyond perfect and unforgettable! I wish I could live it over and over again.
Me and my new wife (Victor and Sarah) had our reception in the front patio of the restaurant. we are from Toronto. Fist all the thanks and credit to Willie and Cirio. I would have to say they were the reason our reception was done flawlessly. I can tell this isnt just a business, its a passion they both share. They were extremely accommodating and thorough with the planning. I can honestly say out of all the venues we looked for Verdicchio was the best choice. The food was amazing, the wine choice was the best wine Ive ever had (turned me into a wine guy hahaa). we had 30 guest sitting comfortably it rained heavily but that day but we just moved a few seats and everyone was fine. This venue is already beautifully decorated and really doesnt need anything to make it beautiful. especially with warm lighting and the nice green vine and other plants. Ill be going back for sure. Might even make it an anniversary thing. Thanks again, we couldnt be any happier.
An enjoyable evening in a safe environment. Our meals were delicious and were complemented with wonderful wine selections and attentive service.
Great ambiance, appetizers were fantastic and the presentations of the mains were impressive.
An authentic Italian dining experience with interesting specials. Verdicchio keeps classics alive and gives creative flourish to their specials.
At last got good food spot in Sudbury.Enjoyed tasty salmon.
Great food!!
Good food. Good atmosphere. Pricy
Wonderful Birthday Dinner. Thank you Billy for taking me out and Thanks Mark for playing Bowie my birthday buddy. Lovely atmosphere, friendly waiter and great food.
Amazing
I can rate the ambiance but not the food because the Chef Rich Francis prepared the food for the PEP Conference Gala. At any rate, the facilities are top notch. A beautiful dining room, very elegant and current. Parking might be a bit iffy at times, as had to park really far. But overall, was awesome!
A great Italian experience
Its a ok place but food is not my style
Food was good but extremely over priced
The tempur pickerel cheeks and shrimp with paprika/peppery sauce was a savoury app and the main special was calamari with polenta and it was really tender, great job!
Outstanding food. My friend and I had such an amazing time here. Were both foodies and this place came highly recommended by friends so we decided to try it out! Both of us are not local to sudbury but we were looking for a place to have a nice dinner while we were in the city for the day. We each got appetizers: I got an amazing scallop and shrimp sous-vide and he had the carpaccio Di cervo which was venison with a strawberry coulis. Amazing! Both of them were delicious!
The squid-ink pasta special was seasoned to perfection. The Manitoulin-trout appetizer special was not everyones favourite, but it was properly explained and.. we did select it. Wine, desserts and service were great. We even got a welcome from the grand Nonna. I found the price to be pretty good for a place of this quality. Well be back!
Excellent food and atmosphere. The patio was warm and dry even though it was pouring rain.
We always have an amazing dinner experience when we go here! Food is fresh, local and delicious and the staff over the top! Tonight we went for my wifes Birthday & they surprised her with some lemon cello! Hands down one of the best restaurants in Sudbury, ON!
Good Restaurant
New to these parts, we visited Verdicchio on the weekend. I didnt really expect to discover a very good Italian restaurant here. But i was quite pleasantly surprised. The squid-ink pasta special was seasoned to perfection. The Manitoulin-trout appetizer special was not everyones favourite, but it was properly explained and.. we did select it. nice
There were a lot of things we liked about this restaurant. The staff was friendly and the service was on point. The presentation of the meals was beautiful and the food was really good.
Loved it when I wasnt vegan...need more vegan dishes.
If I could rate more than 5 stars - I would! I went to Verdicchios this past weekend and had the most delicious dinner and fantastic experience. I have a gluten insensitivity and the staff went above and beyond for me. I was really interested in the special that night but the sauce wasnt gluten free - however they whipped one up from scratch for me without me even requesting. It was above and beyond and not to mention it was delicious. The food is amazing every time and the service is also amazing. I recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you so much for the amazing meal.
The lamb was lovely and out host were gracious.
Great place to host events!
Excellent experience for fine dining. Server Matthew is great.
Excellent food and service
Great food
Wonderful atmosphere! Amazingly well educated staff(servers/cooks), you feel like family while there. Amazing food, most menu items change seasonally so there is always something new to indulge, and/or old classic fall backs to enjoy over again. The presentations are always getting better and starting to make a whole new surprising and exciting experience! A MUST GO!... No doubt they have been in business for over 20 years in Sudbury.
Great top quality fine Italian food with an epic wine cellar. The staff is really knowledgeable and provide great service. Cocktails are fantastic (one of very few places in Sudbury with a great cocktail program).
I will get pictures up sometime soon. Best food in Sudbury hands down. Most passionate family Ive ever met to the food industry and arguably the only real authentic Italian food in town. If you are coming through Sudbury or even a long time resident you must experience this restaurant once. Yes its fine dining so its more expensive but its worth every penny. Did I mention best wine selection in the city? Go enjoy!
Pricey, but worth it
The Risotto was delicious was and the service exceptional. The restaurant is a bit hard to find but well with looking for. I drove past twice..lol
Went for Mothers day brunch for 11:00am sitting. The brunch had no breakfast items at all , no children items. Grandson was looking for pancakes or waffles we told him would there. Dried up pizza at 11am in morning. Mostly consisted of a evening dinner menu. Pork, smoked duck, roasted vegetables and pasta bar. The desert table was terribly, some fruit, a carrot loaf and these small plastic cups 1 / 4 filled with goop! Absolutely no chocolate anything. Done on the cheap.Worst desert table I been to in years. It was stuck over in a corner and very univiting presentation. For such a ridiculously over price meal , this was a uneventful Mothers day buffet.
So beautiful and very classy
Special occasions here is definitely an experience you would want to give your loved one..
Very good food.. larger portions then we had expected
Best in the world
Hall was too small for a Wedding. The food at the wedding reception was just warm and took over 3 hours to eat due to poor service. Coffee wasnt placed out until 10:30 would have been nice to have coffee with supper.
The finest dining experience. Attentive staff. Excellent food. Premium drinks. An all round wonderful evening. Thank you Verdicchios.
Wonderful anniversary dinner on the patio! Service, food and prosecco were impeccable!
Great food salad di mare was very delicious
Great service and the meal was great too! I had the lamb it arrived just perfect.
Excellent food and environment
The food was fantastic and they had a very nice classic margarita. The waiter seemed knowledgeable which raised our expectations but service was terribly slow. We had to ask for more water and were never asked if we wanted more drinks.
Excellent food, friendly and competent staff...very pleasurable experience
Excellent food. Prices appropriate for the quality. Service was quite good.
Beautiful venue. Amazing washrooms. Great food.
Great ambiance, service
Hors doeuvres were excellent. Main course was ok. Had the filet mignon. Steak was mediocre. Vegetables that came with were mediocre as well.
Always enjoyable
Great atmosphere.
A place of quality and elegance. Staff was nice and courteous. And food was fantastic. Pricey for the portions, but I understand the quality behind the quantity.
Great service, great food. Loved the fact they had vegan options for everything!
The food is always amazing and the staff are great too!
Great ambiance, great good and great service!
Was here for a special event so Im not sure how the restaurant is but the food was cold and there was not enough for the number of people.
Excellent! Always a pleasure playing jazz at natura venue.
Fantastic place for private events. Food is top notch, service is great, and did I mention the food is top notch?
Ive been here for a few work functions and outings with friends and family. Amazing food and service both small and large (+70) groups
A bit too high brow
Excellent food, wine, service and local fare!
Good place
Lovely place. Great food, beautiful ambiance and super people to deal with. A great experience.
Great atmosphere! Not rushed. Amazing food and drinks!!
Great setting for a learning dinner, nice food selection
Verdicchio is a unique restaurant in this city. I get the impression that its regular customers support the business to a degree where new business is not really a concern for them. Located in an industrial park next to mineral labs and industrial supply stores, it stands out as one of the truly original providers of fine dining in Sudbury. I have organized events here for professionals, I have attended dinners for work functions and I have taken prospective clients here. Its not the kind of place I go for a snack but rather where I go if I want to convey an experience. The owner and the staff are all intimately familiar with the ingredients, the process and the experience for which people are attending. Ill tell you right now its the best gnocchi in town, hands down. Ill also tell you they cook a better steak than The Keg every time. I will also say that sometimes the food is so original that I question whether I made the right choice in deviating for my standard menu selections. That being said it is always an impressive meal at a premium price. Anniversaries, birthdays, weddings, retirement parties. This is where you go.
Great food. Great service.
Beautiful banquet hall. amazing food
This restaurant was service, hospitality and especially food on a whole other level. I couldnt wait to get on my phone and leave this review! Totally unassuming strip mall - with a gem hidden in the corner. We were so happy that we chose the 4-course tasting menu as we got to try many different items for a great price. Bonus; incredibly vegan-friendly and knowledgeable / accommodating. Felt lucky to get to meet so many of the super kind and talented crew; owner Mark, Chef Daniel, and our server Corey was
Had.a great glass of wine and and an appetizer on the outdoor patio
Meh. The menu is pretentious. Now Im fine with pretentious if its done well, but it really wasnt anything to go crazy for. Presentation was lack luster, service was unimpressive and slow for how quiet it was. I cannot remember by exact entree, so I wish I could be a bit more specific. But, it was underwhelming for the price. Decent ambiance though
Phenomenal meals and great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Very good place, recommend you can try it.
Great
Amazing!
Fantastic place Really good food as well
In the words of Gordon Ramsey: Who the hell grills lettuce?
Very good food cold drinks and good service
Food was great!!
I was there for the Burgers and Barbera event - great food, great wine, and great fun. The service was excellent and super friendly despite being very busy. Verdicchios is well worth a stop and we will be returning to sample the menu in the restaurant.
Amazing
I almost dont want to recommend this place because I want this all to myself. Great food & great service
World class restaurant rivals the best anywhere. Service, menu, wine all flawlessly executed. Unpretentious atmosphere and dim lighting add to the heightened sense of taste. I have never, in my thousands of restaurant experiences, had such a pleasurable dinner. I will never forget this night.
Really impressive wine list, and amazingly attentive staff.
Best classy place in Sudbury.
5 Stars all the way, always something different to try on menu. Last time I was super impressed with the meal and service. Very good about accommodating GF gluten free true white tablecloth experience (can be very formal or just lunch).
Ive always had a good experience at this restaurant but my last experience was mediocre....Service and food were ordinary. Was never asked how any of my meal was.... Good wine and cocktail list though
