Verace Italian Restaurant in Oakville

Amazing hosts, always a pleasure being in their presence.

Lovely experience my first time there for a company event. Staff extremely responsive with planning and the food was excellent. My only hiccup would be that for larger parties there should be a little more flexibility with menu selections specifically to appetizers

We were there for a Christmas party. The staff were very attentive. The food was very good quality Italian.

We went on a late night dinner at around 9pm.Its definitely a hidden gem in Oakville. All the recommendations from the waiter were supereb. They have amazing sea food shrimp and lobster pastas and delicious grill fish as well, in case you are looking for halal options. The portions were generous, and the place had nice and cozy vibes. Loved the overall experience. Parking could be tricky, and its paid parking everywhere unless you go after 6 pm, when its free Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Great tasting food, friendly service, and fantastic inner decor. Tamara gave me tasters for two white wines and let my date change her order after having submitted it. Also, the host let us stay 20 min past our designated end time; we totally lost track of time and didn t realize. Everyone was really nice to us. Thanks so much for accommodating us, and sorry for the hassle!

Nice atmosphere and staff. Food was pretty good. The Chicken Parm with veggies was good minus the chicken itself seasoning was bit off and myself and other guest with me had very tough pieces and few nerves or chewy parts in it . Charcuterie board was great. Salmon with the veggie was perfect seasoning and nice sear to the fillet. Gnocchi were also pretty good

An absolute killer dinner. From the fresh bread to the pizza. Everything was incredible. The best part was the ambiance. Great music and best service, Thank You Alex for delivering an incredible dinner experience. Another great night. Service was excellent. Thank-you Aurora for making everything perfect.

Best Pizza this side of the ocean!

This is a go-to for girls night out, date night and family night out. The food is always good. The portions are generous.

The food was very good with generous portions. Front of house could definitely use some work. The first impression was a bit rude as there was no Hello, Welcome or even Happy Anniversary it was, Do you have reservations? You get a better greeting at a Walmart!!!! We clearly stated in our reservation that it was our anniversary, yet neither the hostess or waitress acknowledged our anniversary. Sitting in the white dining room (to the right when you walk in) was awful. The acoustics in the room made a simple conversation impossible. We couldnt even hear our waitress at times when speaking with us. Table cloths drapes curtains could easily fix this problem. Overall, the food was good. the service could use some help as empty plates and glasses in front of customers should be picked up immediately and the hostess, well...

Pretty good place and food was amazing

Amazing food!!! I will be telling everyone to go here for any special occasion.

We had our annual (early) Christmas party at Verace this year. There were 30 of us in their party room. Mavis was our hostess and she and her team took excellent care of us. She even accommodated some last minute menu changes. This was the first office party I had organized and Michele, the general manager was very helpful in helping me organize everything. Everyone loved the food, especially the veal. It was the best veal we ever tasted. The wine was always flowing. After dinner there was room for dancing and many people got up on the dance floor. We had a very memorable Christmas party thanks to the Verace team.

Excellent venue for a date night

Great place !! Great food and amazing staff and service, we recently reserved the venue and had 20+ guests and and everything was 5 stars. Michele and the team are great .

Wow!! We had a private 50th birthday party yesterday and it was absolutely amazing! The food was top-notch, the private room was gorgeous, the staff was fabulous and attentive. Everyone loved it there and were raving about the food and service. The staff introduced themselves and shook our hands as we came in. It was so wonderful and we were well taken care of. We will definitely be back!! Thanks again for your hospitality and delicious food!

We came here not knowing its going to be a great experience, we had 2 pizza and we loved it, we are not from Italy but we love and we appreciate Italian style Pizza, their Pizzas are wooden oven made and pretty authentic:)

Delicious food but little expensive. Service was great, and for birthdays they sing a song with cake cutting!

Great food. Love it.

BRAVO for exclusive services exceptional food and gorgeous atmosphere Service with smile BRAVO AURORA Two girls at the door AMAZING POSITIVITY and Frendly Smiles . The food is made just FOR ME .

ALL STARS FOR THE MAIN COOK AND THE ELEGANT ATTITUDE BAVO TEN STARS WE WILL BE BACK WITH MORE FRIENDS SEE YOU SOON

Great food and service.

Fantastico!! Quattro formaggio pizza and calamari were excellent. Pizza was as good as, or better, than what we had in Italy. And nice wine list. Primitivo was amazing. Our server was excellent too. Well return soon. This may become our regular spot. Food

Amazing food and exceptional cocktails! Very kind and accommodating staff as well - my fiancé and I stopped in unexpectedly on a Saturday night and even though we didn t have reservations the hostess was quick to set up a table for us. We had a great evening and will definitely be back :)

We celebrated a Baptism on Nov 3 in the private room. It was an incredible experience, from start to finish, thanks to Michele. The private room is stunning and spacious. The food was incredible, from the presentation to the portions. Thank you to our servers who were so attentive and professional. We had such a great experience. Our guests havent stopped talking about it. I would highly recommend, you definitely will not be disappointed.

Great food and service! Vegetarian options: Also has halal chicken Food : 5/5 |

I cant say enough about the food and staff! BUT raise your Tap limit! If it was a Client dinner running to your car to get a credit card would be awkward! But really loved everything else! Thanks!

The atmosphere is very pleasant, the attendant was friendly and quick. The food was perfect

So good and delicious

Came here for a birthday with my friends and the service and food was phenomenal. All of the pastas are great portions and the desserts tasted so authentic. Will be coming back soon!

Fabulous atmosphere and absolutely delicious food

Great food indeed, service was spot on

We have dined at Verace many times. Delicious food amazing drinks, the staff is wonderful and friendly. A great place to have a party or just dinner out with the family. We also do takeout for our sons quite a bit. They love the food as well.

Definitely the best pizza in the area, they have Authentic Neapolitan pizza, the dough they use...so good. Pastas were great as well, great collection of wine. We will be returning. Minor update: Been to this location many times since my first review. The food consistently tastes great but the service is mediocre.

Attended a wedding reception in their banquet room, excellent service, and quality food. Expensive, but it s what can be expected for south oakville. Black truffle salami is to die for!

I had dinner today at Versace Italian Restaurant and was impressed from the moment I walked in. The menu was beautifully designed and inviting. The food was nothing short of amazing, complemented by a cozy atmosphere that made for a perfect dining experience. The friendly staff provided outstanding customer service, and it was evident that the team worked seamlessly together. Overall, a delightful place that truly excels in every aspect!

Food was delicious. Service was amazing. We need more servers like Lorena. She was so efficient, pleasant and just on it. We never needed to flag her down. Lorena is wonderful and makes the restaurant industry enjoyable.

Rating says it all. A must do! Food

Great experience!

Food

Everything perfect, perfect dishes. A place to feel at home even if far away.

Celebrated a friends birthday here and had a lovely dinner. The service was great and fast! The place was packed and the wait times (15-20 mins) were well worth it.

Centrally located down town Oakville with options of patio or indoor dining. Wide variety of authentic Italian food and wine. Parking: Street parking or around the back of the restaurant Wheelchair accessibility: Its wheelchair accessible

Food was delicious. Sat on the patio. Seats were uncomfortable. Would recommend sitting inside.

Ive had about a dozen meals from lunch to dinner at Verace, and the food has always been excellent. I havent reviewed Verace previously because, unfair to this establishment, I was holding them to high expectations based on my memories. Their location used to have the always outstanding Julias restaurant, a personal favourite for my extended family and business partners. For the past few years eating at Verace, I admit to being skeptical that the staff, food and experience could come close to Julias. Im pleased to say Verace have met the highest professional levels for food and service and they deserve to be recognized as one of the finest restaurants in Oakville. And it doesnt have to match Julias standards, they are setting their own. Every time I have been there, the food is prepared and presented with a clear vision to be consistent and highly memorable. Pastas are fresh, pizza is elevated, salads are filling; all are delicious. (Whichever tomatoes they use in sauces are my favourite part of their meals!) There also seems to be a clear vision for a consistent atmosphere. For me, Verace has never been a place for a quiet meal. But to no fault of the restaurant. Its just typically busy and the talking customers create the joyful noise! The semi-open kitchen, bar area and main dining room all harmonize to craft the song of a busy, happy and happening place to be. There is a more balanced smaller dining area behind the large wine rack that I found to be the perfect spot for conversation, if thats needed. Our waiter in this area on Oct. 10/24, Mark, was highly attentive and very good. I wanted to let him know at the end of our night his work was appreciated, but he was busy looking after his other customers. I cant blame him for that! Despite a full house our food came quickly and was awesome. Im happy we chose Verace for a special occasion. Over the last two years I have brought my most cherished loved ones, friends, co-workers and clients to Verace. Why did it take me so long to admit I love this place!

Great homemade pasta and atmosphere! Staff is friendly :) Love the squid ink pasta! They can also do kids portion, which is great for family

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE

I recently celebrated my bridal shower at Verace, and it was absolutely perfect! The food was exquisite, with every dish receiving rave reviews from our guests. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring everything ran smoothly and that we felt special throughout the event. From the attention to detail, excellent communication and personalized treatment- the staff were wonderful. Everyone left with nothing but great things to say about their experience. I couldn t have asked for a better venue to celebrate such a significant occasion Verace truly made it unforgettable and we all can t wait to come back.

This place was an amazing place for date night. The staff was very accommodating and very pleasant. The space is very comfortable. The food was absolutely amazing. The spots and reservations do fill up very quickly, but overall the place was amazing.

We had our wedding dinner reception at the Verace Restaurants private room. It was an amazing experience. Food was plenty and very delicious, service was excellent, and Michele was very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process of planning the event. We 100% recommend to anyone who is planning a special event, or to anyone who just wants to have a delicious Italian dinner.

While admittedly busy, it took 15 minutes to get water to the table and another 15 to get our cocktails dropped. The waiter was appropriately apologetic, but its something management needs to hear and address. The calamari appetizer was adequate, but a tad chewy. The pan-seared branzino fillets were done to perfection and I loved the chili & garlic, pickled onions that came with it. The handmade totelloni in a smoked pancetta cream sauce was equally delightful. Portions were generous. The vibe was bustling.

The authentic Italian dishes were bursting with flavor, and the ambiance perfectly complemented the meal.

Excellent food Excellent ambience Excellent aseevice Food : 5/5

One of the best pasta dishes I have ever had (tortellini). All of the food that everyone has was fantastic. Great service and ambiance. Will definitely be back.

Really enjoyed my experience here - was impressed by the quality of the pizza and the wine list. Our server Aurora went above and beyond to provide a special experience for my friends and I. Youre lucky to have a server like her!

Din t had a chance to experience the food however I am rating waiting structure. We checked in at 12:39 and was told that we just stopped taking walk ins and you can get a table after an hour We were ready to wait and shared our contact details to get an invite call for availability. We went back at 2pm just to check as no call was received. We were advised to wait another 15 mints and then we waited till 2:30 but still no table was assigned. Of course after all this waiting we did not bother to ask them again and left the restaurant. I saw people going in without reservation and being seated. I was so idle for those waiting hours that I had to notice this.

We tried to get a table on Sunday night at 7:30pm and the hostess was extremely rude, made it seem like we were inconveniencing her by asking for a table and then told us that a table for 2 wouldn t open up for another hour and a half. It was clear she did not want to seat us. If I was the owner I would be concerned at how she was turning away business and she has left such a negative impression of the restaurant that I would not go back or recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Travel back in time with this fine dining establishment in all its glory. The coloured folks are provided special seating in the back room and a corner of the patio while the white folks enjoy the main section of dining area. The extra salt in your food is a small price to pay to witness one of last remnants of RACIAL SEGREGATION.

We hosted my son s baptism yesterday, 65 guests in the private venue and we could not be happier. Michele, Igor, and team were incredibly accomadating, patient, and delivered above and beyond our expectations. Guests were calling us today to once again compliment the amazing food. I worked in the restaurant industry for 10 years and can understand the challenges of accommodating a group this size, and Verace nailed it. Will definitely be back!

Food is good.

Lovely place, went here on my birthday dinner. Food was delicious. We were seated at the right side which was quieter, the chairs were a little uncomfortable but overall a good experience.

The finochetto salad was amazing....not to be outdone by grilled seafood platter

Food was good. Waiter was nice. Food took too long to come out.

One of the best Italian restaurants in the area! I recommend getting their Pappardelle Mare e Monti

Waitstaff was horrible, took forever to take our order, food took forever, and it was cold

We held a rehearsal dinner before my son s wedding there & it was wonderful! It was in their adjacent private event space. The room is beautiful & spacious, we were 48 people & there was plenty of room. We opted for the family style option. The food was fabulous, and the portions were huge. Everyone agreed it was the best salad they had ever eaten. The pastas were great, & the veal was amazing. But besides the beautiful atmosphere & fabulous food, the service was outstanding! The manager was so easy to deal with while we were booking the space & choosing a menu , & he was able to customize things for us as needed. Everything was seamless, & the staff were so eager to please. I would highly recommend Verace!

Bestfood

My wife and I had a rehearsal dinner here for our wedding and we were blown away. Dealing with the team here for the logistics of the events was so easy and seamless. Michele was a pleasure to work with, and is team is incredibly professional. The food was incredible and every guest was beyond satisfied. The room was also beautiful. I would highly recommend Verace for anyone looking to have a private event in Oakville.

Amazing food. Delicious cocktails. Great service. Will definitely be back.

I e of the best Italian restaurants in town, everything was perfect, from the service, to the atmosphere. And the food tasted wonderful, we tried one of the pizzas, the two gnocchi and one of the tagliatelle, all were great. We had to wait for a while though, I thought it might not be busy for a Monday evening but we waited for an hour, it worth every minute of the wait. Definitely I would recommend it

All around, great experience.

Food was very very mid. Felt like frozen food. The service is great and the atmosphere is also very good but the food lacks a lot.

What a nice place to dine in. Beautiful place, nice location, beautiful and professional servers with great service and the food is very good.

We hosted my Son s baptism at Verace Venue this past week. The restaurant exceeded all expectations. The venue was clean , the service was incredible and the food was delicious! It was an elegant atmosphere. They accommodated every request. Guests had such a wonderful time! Everyone was complimenting the venue. Management is reliable and the staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back!

Peja had the best service I ever had. His smile is very welcoming. I will be coming back for more along with my family and friends. Thanks peja for welcoming us and having the best service ever. Very professional

My parents went out for dinner last night with a group of friends and returned saying that the restaurant was extremely hot to the point they didn t want to order food. They were told that the restaurant just couldn t keep up with the summer heat? In addition to the environment being poorly air conditioned, one guest ordered the fish and said it was extremely dry. For a dinner that cost 600 dollars, it is extremely disappointing to leave very unsatisfied.

didn t like the pasta, but the pizza was good!

Our favorite Italian at downtown Oakville. Pizzas are delicious, patio is lovely. Service is great, especially Ulash is an amazing server. Highly recommend.

There is nothing special about this place. Overpriced for sure. Food was Ok Food

Excellent food and service. We love this place.

Food arrived hot, fresh, and big portions . Pasta and meatballs I ordered were fantastic. Great bread as well. Definitely recommended

Delicious food

Great food and good service

I cannot say enough amazing things about Verace! We held our wedding dinner/reception for 40 of our closest friends and family in their private dining room and it was absolutely perfect. Everything from the communication with Michele, set up, servers/bartenders was top notch! The food of course was the most important part of the evening and eveything we ordered was delicious! We had 4 courses and it was very reasonably priced - everyone was full! We were able to play our preloaded playlist off Spotify for some dinner music and dancing afterwards easily off their iPad that was connected to the speaker system. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Verace for private events in an intimate and personal setting. Thank you to all the amazing staff and servers who helped us make the night possible without any issues or problems, especially Michele & Mavis!

I chose the Spaghetti Al Aragosta. The dish consisted of a lobster tail, very fishy tasting scallops and cherry tomatoes in white wine and garlic sauce. I would have thought there would have been that blended taste of wine and garlic, but it was a very bland dish. When I mentioned it to the waitress, she said she would tell the chef. End of subject for her. A very overrated restaurant. If you go be prepared to pay $$$ for the wine.

Food was phenomenal. Will be returning.

Ordered a pizza, very well done. Also ordered chicken parm. Chicken couldve been better. Was a little damp, not crispy enough. Server was friendly, quite professional but took too long to come get our order. Not bad at all. The place has a nice atmosphere.

First time in oakville and found this place to have great food, atmosphere and service. Definitely would come back :-)

I recently dined at Verace Italian Restaurant and ordered the Veg Pizza Regina. It was truly outstanding! The crust was perfectly crisp, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the combination of ingredients was simply delightful. The ambiance and service were excellent, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Good veg options

Great food. Amazing service. Excellent atmosphere. Great place

Great food but it is ridiculously loud in the restaurant. People were screaming at each other to have a conversation. I saw people eating with their hands over their ears. Surprised the owners let that happen. We were there for a special celebration which was ruined because of the atmosphere. Its unfortunate.

Service was extremely slow, food was mediocre.

The seafood here s the best!

Best Italian restaurant in Oakville!

Was invited for a lunch meeting. My experience was a good one. The Food was good, the Service outstanding and the ambience serene... it was a good experience and would recommend it to families too.

Great atmosphere and great food, perfect place for a date or a get together with friends

Amazing service and atmosphere both inside and outside on the patio during the summer. Working through the menu and it has never disappointed. I can t say enough about the hospitality once again, this is what keeps us going back. The people are wonderful. As a regular, I cannot recommend this place enough. A definite must try on Lakeshore.

Great atmosphere and sitting on the terrace, amazing pizza, fairly priced.

Probably my favourite Italian restaurant! The branzini here is incredible.

If your looking for good thin crust pizza This is the place you should go. Service was amazing and fast!

The Gnocchi Di Spinaci is the best thing ever!!! Drinks were incredible and the food was excellent

The best pizza and Italian cuisine ever in the GTA and Halton region, the staff makes welcome with the best Italian starters yet to come exquisitely prepared Pizza with an authentic ingredients and Pizza wood fire oven Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options to choose from Parking: Had to go around a few times to find a spot to park on Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant has wheelchair accessible entrance and tables

Had the pescatore pasta. so good.

We went there for the Neapolitan pizza. It was nice, but nothing outstanding. The place was really busy and be warned that it does not have A/C inside, although its not too hot. Service staff are nice and friendly. Parking: Parking is street parking only and paid lots nearby. Depending on time of day street parking is free in Oakville, but good luck getting a spot close by during weekends.

Food was good, location and atmosphere are great. Service is okay, although one of the servers seemed tired, and what we perceived as a bit judgemental, perhaps they were not in the greatest mood that night. It made the experience a bit frustrating

Really liked our server, it was a busy Friday evening and she kept her cool during the dinner rush. The drinks were well done and the pasta was cooked perfectly.

Food was outstanding. Friendly fast service. Will go back soon

We arrived with our 4 year old and 8 month old and was immediately seated and accommodated, Stroller and all. PJ gave us great service with even better humour and went out of his way to make sure we were all taken care of. When it began to rain he even offered an umbrella to walk to the car and then return. And as for the food. What an experience. Everything was beautifully presented, came to the table hot, and tasted amazing and fresh. So a big thank you to everyone involved in making our day just that much more enjoyable!

We had to wait 15 minutes with 6 empty tables in the restaurant. And reserve, very expensive for a meal that they prepare in 15 minutes, I was surprised that it arrived so quickly, it was lukewarm and very basic preparation.

Staff were friendly and attentive but the pizza I received was too hard to chew not sure if it was the dough they used or the cooking method that went wrong, but my jaw literally hurt trying to munch the pizza crust. Tried the salad too and it tasted like there wasn t much dressing to flavor the greens. The place was spacious enough inside and they had a patio too, which is nice especially for the summer time. The washroom was low on toilet paper and could use some frequent clean checks especially during the busy lunch hours.

Being Neapolitan, I know pizza; and the pizza at Verace is a n excellent one. Moreover, all of the pasta and seafood dishes I ve tried are great; especially the spaghetti with lobster. The s service us polite and attentive without being unctuous. One might best describe it as lovely - and one visit will make the latter qualification self evident. Overall, Veracr has become a favourite for me and my entire Neapolitan family. So, if you know what s good for you visit Verace - or else

Food was amazing and served by staff who genuinely seemed to enjoy working there.

Fantastic Italian restaurant. One of the best in oakville. And great service.

Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. Food was great too. Overall excellent experience and highly recommend

Verace is exceptional! They import their flour from Italy, which explains why you can enjoy bread, pasta, and pizza without feeling overly full. No need to fear dietary restrictions here. The food and drinks are consistently excellent, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Its one of our top favorite restaurant in the GTA!

The experience and services were good but the food wasn t as good. There are better Italian places in the area

I came here with my family for a reunion, and we was served like family by Elke and Ulas who took care of us! And we will be coming back They are a very good investment to the restaurant

Very nice place. Food was good. Ordered margherita pizza and pasta (fusilli, sage and ham).

Amazing food. Best Italian restaurant in GTA. Its located in oakville downtown. Food service and ambience was top notch. Worth every penny.

1st time at Verace....wonderful experience....food was unbelievably good. We sat at the bar and the service was exceptional. Loved it. We will be back!! My wife had mushroom ravioli and we shared a pear, arugula salad. So good.

Food was delicious.

My stomach started hurting after eating here. They put me in the sun and within minutes I got a skin burn on my neck.

This was a fairly disappointing experience for a birthday dinner. Every single time my table needed something, we had to wait 10+ minutes to see our server pass the table. When I arrived with my mother intially, I asked our hostess for some water before our other two guests arrived. She brought it right away and was lovely- Even wishing me a happy birthday as she had seen my OpenTable reservation. After my other two guests joined my mother and I, 13 minutes passed before we were able to even make eye contact with our server and ask for our drink order to be taken. We put appetizers in with our drinks in fear we would not see our server for a while. We asked for a second round of focaccia, and the oil and vinegar was missing. He did not bring it back. I found it strange my sister was asked are you done when her soda was low instead of being offered another one. This was a good call, because our drinks took quite a while. Our server took away our menus before our appies were delivered, which made it difficult to look for an entrèe once we were finished. The server did not return to refill our drinks, and we had to call him over again to ask to see the menus back. We ordered entrèes and they arrived in a timely fashion. My mom had to ask for pepper, and my dads empty drink was again unadresssd, with empty glasses also not cleared. I would like to say all of the food was excellent, no complaints there at all. Did notice the tables were at different levels while we were eating which was odd. I ordered a soda when I had a chance to wave down our server, and it did not come out with the second round of drinks my family ordered prior to that. I reminded him, and he brought it out. At this point, our cutlery was stacked on the plates and they were pushed to the side. After twenty minutes passed, we waited to make eye contact with our server again, asking for boxes and the bill. I m just finishing my meal upset seeing so many missed opportunities for a restaurant with such a high caliber. I was also sad that my birthday was not recognized by our server, and there was no opportunity to order dessert. Pretty much every single thing we needed tonight had to be asked for, which is something that I ve never quite experienced- especially in fine dining. I did notice our server had a 7-8 table section, which could be overwhelming. Regardless, not the experience I would be expecting at Verace. Hoping this reaches the right person and that this feedback will be taken into consideration!

Came here for my Fiancées birthday this weekend. We had a nice time but wasn t anything spectacular. The food was OK, kind of bland. Service started off great but after our mains we were ignored.

Perfect place to dine in. Pizza and pasta were great!

Not the worst but not the best Italian experience. Food is mediocre, service is a ok. The hostess at the door is downright rude. You try to tell her something, she cuts you off. Oakville has so many better offerings.

Last night, my family and I celebrated my sister s and my graduation in the new party room at Verace. The room was beautifully decorated, the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was perfect, making our evening truly unforgettable. On behalf of the Kabbabeh Cannavo family, I extend our heartfelt thank you to everyone at Verace, especially Michele, Mavis and Nikola, for their outstanding kindness and attentiveness. They made sure we had a fantastic experience. I highly recommend them for any special celebration. They will undoubtedly make you feel special!

Food was not bad. Service started decent but then it s as if we became invisible. Even asking for the check needed to be repeated multiple times.

The food was delicious & perfectly cooked. The flavors were exceptional and the portion sizes were just right. A wonderful dining experience all around!

Was told there were no seats & was not offered even to wait for one, and while I was only a bit disappointed I was surprised to find plenty of open reservations on OpenTable. First time that has ever happened to me where I actually felt discriminated against (not like there is really a dress code here, not exactly fine dining vibes). Definitely would not recommend.

We dined at this establishment on the weekend and our party of five was very happy with the food and service. I would specifically like to thank Bella (asked for her name to write this review). She was able to make a reservation for us even though it was last minute and upon arrival, she was very nice to my family and ensured we were taken care of. We will definately be coming back thanks to her great customer service.

Unforgettable!

We love this place and come here regularly - food is fantastic, service has always been excellent (shout out to Michele behind the bar) and overall price is not excessive for downtown Oakville. Love the ambiance, brings a bit of excitement and cool to what can often be a sedate and stodgy downtown core. Highly recommend.

Beautiful restaurant in prime downtown of Oakville.The atmosphere was cozy and perfect for dinner for small groups.It wasn t noisy and the service was fast.The staff were extremely polite.Recommended to try out Italian food here.

We had Margherita pizza, mushroom ravioli, squid ink pasta and seafood pasta. I dont know if the chef has changed, but every dish except pizza and appetizer was so salty that I could barely eat it. What a waste of my $200

Its a great spot for good food. Patio is big and catches sun mid day. Bar area is small but perfect for an entertainment watching the kitchen make magic and drinks are good.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food, Ill definitely be coming back!

play jazz music

we had this lovely turkish waiter with great banter !! ;) - dave Food : 5/5

Excellent food Excellent service our sever Uras not sure if i spell it right was fantastic Well be back for sure again Food : 5/5

The food and service was outstanding. Italian cuisine,very nice wine list. And an even better scotch list

The staff is great, excellent food and overall a great experience. Thanks Verace!

Mother s Day lunch was great, very please with the service as that is very important and hard to get these days. The food was very good too and on time.

Great food, Nice outdoor storefront patio

Pricy but good! Food quality is great as well as the excellent service !

A great Italian place with pizza that gets you as close as you can get to Italy. The ambience is cozy and the servers very friendly. Kid-friendliness: Easy to get high-chair

Delicious dishes and best waiters!

The food is great, I love their pizzas it is amazing; light, crispy, not oily, & delicious.

Their risotto I can t stop thinking about it. Service was also lovely, and the ambience is really nice.

Excellent food and great service. Had the Funghi pizza and it was delicious, perfect crust. Looking forward to returning to try some of their other dishes.

Great place for dinner.

Amazing staff. Exceptional customer service!

Excellent food and service. A special restaurant to keep on your return list.

Very nice atmosphere. Great food and quality service, as you would expect in such a nice restaurant. I had the chicken Parmigiana and the seafood platter that was very tasty. The fact that they give focaccia bread with olive oil and a balsamic reduction was over the top. Great job Verace Italian Restaurant

We had a wonderful time here. We sat at the bar and the food, service and atmosphere were great. Only one beer on draft, Krombacher, which I like a lot. It was nice and frosty, just as it should be. We shared a bottle of Valpolicella, the pear and parmesan salad, a couple of pizzas; Diavola and Funghi, which were great. Topped it off with a cappuccino and tartufo and Limoncello. The food was all very tasty. The service at the bar was very friendly and efficient. A wonderful evening. We will definitely return.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant, highly recommend. Food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. We celebrated my mom s birthday here as a large group of 18, and everything was fabulous. Special shoutout to Mavis who was the most incredible server and made sure everything was perfect for us all :)

Hands down the best bruschetta Ive ever eaten in the area. Very cozy and fun looking place. The host who welcomed us didnt seem very happy, the server was more of an order taker and did not seem interested in conversing much. Just some constructive criticism, otherwise I could not recommend this restaurant more.

Had an nice birthday dinner for my teen at this place. Surprisingly the vegetarian options are really yummy. Great finds from the menu 1. Calamari Fritti 2. Ceasar salad - we ordered it twice since we liked it so much 3. Pappardelle Funghi e Tartufo . The yummiest mushroom sauce Ive had till date. 4. Pizza Regina The Branzino and pasta Pescatora could be improved a little. Their desserts are fabulous. Everything on dessert menu is worth a try. Wine list is quite impressive. Portion sizes are good. Hostesses and servers are very friendly. Gets crowded and quite loud in the evenings. We blended in with our loud voices but may not be everyones thing .

Authentic Neapolitan pizza, served by Barry with great care. Outstanding wine options and true Italian coffee. Highly recommend if you re looking for the real thing
