La Veranda Resto is a fantastic venue for private events. As an event photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of working here many times, and it’s always a great experience. The food and service are outstanding, with the owners taking excellent care of their guests. The atmosphere is perfect for celebrations, with great music for dancing and beautiful décor that adds charm to every occasion. It’s a photographer’s dream, as the space and lighting make for stunning photos. Highly recommended!
The restaurant setting was very nice, and when we arrived, we were literally the only ones there. Yet they took 45 minutes to get our food out, with two other tables receiving their food before we did. Based on other reviews, it looks like it’s a common theme here where service is very slow. The food itself was pretty good, but the portions are not large (hence their prices). We are small people and usually always have something leftover to pack when dining out, but not here. Overall, pretty disappointed that this restaurant will not be a go-to location for us at the market.
we hosted out Engagement Party at La Veranda and I can't say enough good things about our experience. From when we first booked right until our event ended it was incredible. The food was Amazing (as noted by all our guest), the venue itself is great to host, and everyone loved the decor and how unique La Veranda really is. I would strongly recommend everyone to come and experience dining here!! Thank you to Elie, Jasmine, and the whole La Veranda team we appreciate your hard work.
From the moment we arrived at La Veranda, we knew it was the perfect choice for our engagement dinner. The beautifully elegant setup, with soft lighting and romantic decor, created the ideal atmosphere for celebrating with loved ones. The food was fantastic! Every dish was both delicious and beautifully presented, with the perfectly cooked steak and juicy chicken that our guests raved about. Note to forget the crispy calamari!! The staff were outstanding—warm, attentive, and always ready to help. Their exceptional service made us and our guests felt truly cared for. What made the night unforgettable was the personalized touch. Elie, Jasmine, and the team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, turning our celebration into a memory we’ll cherish forever. Thank you for an incredible night—it was absolutely perfect!
We had my bridal shower here a few weeks ago. We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience working with Jasmine and Elio. Right from the beginning they were accommodating, informative, and helped make my bridal shower vision come to life! Jasmine had so many decor pieces to add to my bridal shower theme, which took the pressure off sourcing all the items myself. On the day of, the food and service was wonderful. All of our guests kept on saying how much food there was! Great venue, great value, highly recommend this location to anyone looking to host an event.
We held our wedding ceremony and reception at La Veranda and everything was wonderful. They made everything so easy for us, everything was taken care of. Elio took care of the food (delicious) and Jasmine took care of all the decorations including the fresh flower centre pieces (stunning). Our guests had a wonderful time and even approached me throughout the event to say how beautiful everything looked and that the food was very good. I would highly recommend La Veranda and I look forward to celebrating future milestones with them. (Note: we hired with the DJ that Elio recommended but he wasn’t the greatest, just didn’t suit our style and didn't play most of the songs/artists on our sheet- I would however recommend the DJ if you like Latino style music) (Wedding Cake and sweet table treats done by Caroline from Sweet 3c’s also recommended by Elio. Beautiful and delicious!)
We have never been so reluctant to pay for food at a restaurant - ever. We ate at La Veranda to try the food with the intention of booking it for an upcoming family event next year. We were so disappointed. For a Friday night, it was quite dead and service was still slow and lacking. The food was awful. We ordered a few dishes to get a good idea of the quality and taste and 2 of 5 dishes were edible at most. The bruschetta was decent. The calamari fritti were the worst I've ever had - super fishy and slimy and gave off the look and feel of coming from a frozen pack. If they were made fresh I'd be very surprised. The mushroom pizza was actually disgusting. "Wood oven" pizza, dry and bendy like cardboard and the cheese was solid and barely warm - tasted precooked/reheated. The chicken supreme which came with 3 vegetables and mashed potatoes tasted like a frozen meal out of a packet. The rigatoni bolognese was decent. The waitress could tell that we didn't enjoy as we were pushing the food around our plates and barely ate - she kept apologizing but it wasn't her fault. She took the pizza of our bill without us even asking, which was appreciated. Halfway through the night we heard an outburst of yelling/arguing coming from the kitchen too, which was off-putting and unprofessional. Overall it was a horrible experience, the food was awful and it was a complete waste of money. The atmosphere is adorable and rustic and we were really looking forward to hosting our event there. Unfortunately we won't be back.
I have been at La Veranda many times previously but I recently had my bridal shower here and everything turned out absolutely incredible. The staff was so friendly and prompt, the food was so delicious and amazing and the decorations were astounding. Jasmine went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up beautifully. She made such a beautiful back drop for the photos! Eli made sure all the guests allergies were taken care of and the food was incredible. Over all I highly recommend this place enough for everyone and for any occasion. We will for sure have many functions there in the future. Thank you both so much!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Wonderful wedding venue.
Great place for our staff Christmas party! Delicious food in an intimate atmosphere
Wed like to thank Elio and his staff for a wonderful service on the day of our sons Baptism. The food was excellent and the price of our package very reasonable for the amount of food and quality we were given. The servers were very attentive to the different dietary needs and anything we needed throughout the meal. A wonderful place to book a private function; very spacious and comfortable. Vegetarian options: Good options to choose from Dietary restrictions: Whatever restrictions, they met our needs Kid-friendliness: A lot of space for kids to roam or have their own table for activities
I had my baby shower here and Jasmine and Elio went above and beyond to make the day as stress free as possible. The rustic backdrop is so beautiful and you don t need to spend much on decor, especially because they have a lot you can use as well. My family is very Italian and picky with food, but they all commented that the food was amazing. Definitely recommend for hosting an event or a night out.
I just hosted my 25th birthday party at la veranda and it was the best birthday experience i ve ever had. The owners took care of me like i was one of their own and the staff was unbelievable. They catered to my every want and request and executed the party perfectly! The food was outstanding and the service was very professional and dependable. Great location for hosting special events. I would use the restaurant again & again!
We had a small intimate wedding here and everything went smooth and was beautifully set up. I am not one to bother with details decorating myself (I just dont enjoy it) and just wanted a nice fun night for us and our guests. We basically picked to menu and I told Elio, please make it looks nice. We were literally able to arrive 20mins before the reception, brought some flowers and desserts we wanted and the restaurant had taken care of everything. The place was beautifully decorated, service and food were great. We loved having an easy stress free wedding. We had a great time. Many of our guests said they would use the place for their own events. Thank you so much to Elio and staff for everything!!
Amazing doesn t even begin to describe it! I ve now had multiple events at La Veranda Resto and my family and I have been so happy every single time. From the delicious food, to the friendly and attentive service, to the lovely ambience - I will definitely come back. If you re thinking of either dining in or having an event, please do it!
Nice place. Great location. Friendly staff. Food was good. Couple of things were disappointing: - Menu on website is no longer available at restaurant. We were looking forward to the twist on Italian food mixed with Lebanese cuisine. Not available at all. Menu not too many choices. - They served steak without a steak knife. Very hard to cut with a butter knife. Tasted good though. - We went at 7:00pm on Saturday with about 10 including us in the place. Don t know why. The place is good.
I recently hosted my bridal shower at La Veranda, and it was nothing short of perfect. The staff were attentive and made sure every detail was just right, the food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was incredibly charming. They truly made my special day beautiful, and I couldnt have asked for a better experience!
La Veranda is gorgeous!! Not only that but the food was amazing, service was fast and they were very kind and attentive. I had a bridal shower here yesterday and they outdid my expectations. I walked in to find the room already decorated perfectly, and from there the day just got better and better. Every guest was happy with the food and the venue when they left. They made the best antipasto (fried cauliflowers, mozzarella sticks, bruschetta and charcuterie board) and chicken I have ever tasted, so much so that I m sad I m not getting their food at my wedding. They were reasonably priced, and they made sure I was happy the entire day. Thank you to Elio, Jasmine and the whole team!! Will definitely come back!!
I cannot say enough good things about this place. The entire staff is so friendly and easy to work with. We had our wedding here and the amount of people complimenting the venue saying how intimate it felt and how it s not your typical hall wedding is incredible. They really liked how the dance floor and the seating was so close so it always made you feel included. The amosphere is really cozy and just having the porch right beside to get fresh air is amazing. You still get to hear the music when outside. Awesome wedding and will 100% recommend it to anyone.
We like to thank the whole staff of la veranda for doing a great job on our daughters 30th birthday everything was a amazing the food was on point it was delicious thank you again wr definitely recommended
Thank you to La Veranda for setting up an absolutely amazing Bridal shower for my daughter. The food/wntipaswas outstanding and the beautiful set up of the Amalfi coast theme we wanted ..the service was phenomenal. Our guests and my daughter were amazed and you made this such a beautiful memorable time for them. Thank you frommthe bottom of our hearts for making hee special day eve n more special.
My daughter had her daughter s Baptism dinner at La Veranda. I cannot express enough how happy we all were. The food was delicious and abundant and served hot. The service was wonderful. Elio and Jasmine could not do enough to make sure we were satisfied. I will definitely return and I highly recommend La Veranda to anyone looking for a fabulous place to host an event. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were delicious! Kid-friendliness: The children enjoyed their meal
Thank you to Elio and Jasmin for making my bridal Shower dreams come true ! Amazing food & staff . Jasmin did such a beautiful job on the decor set up . Food
Best restaurant in Vaughan I really recommend this area for families and couples
If there was a possibility to add more stars I would. To start, the owners of La Veranda were incredibly kind, accommodating and went above and beyond. The food was excellent, came out hot and super delicious. The service was one of the best I have ever received. Each wait staff were kind, courteous and were very attentive. The atmosphere was so beautiful took very little to jazz up the event. I would definitely come here again. Thank you, La Veranda, for making my event one to remember, you made it extra special.
Everything is delicious Service is quick Atmosphere is inviting Food : 5/5
Such a great ambiance, I felt I was in Italy. Excellent food with affordable prices. Service is great. Servers are professional yet friendly. If you want to have a special dining experience, la Veranda should be your choice. The music is so classy. Also it is a great place for special occasions like Birthdays, engagements, and even weddings as it is elegantly decorated and designed. Special thanks to Yassmine who made us feel at home.
Feels like home and the owner is amazing
Had our engagement dinner here and it turned out amazing couldn t be happier with the service and everything.
We just celebrated my daughter s First Communion at La Veranda. I cant say enough about this place, the food was amazing. The staff was so helpful. The atmoshere was top notch. Please don t hesitate to book and event or just have dinner here.
Beautiful little Gem Eli and his staff have great customer service and very attentive! I have thrown multiple parties for large groups- highly recommend his set menu when hosting parties!
This place had some good food. I was there for a family party and had a good time. Our sever Milan went above and beyond very pleased.
Was greatly satisfied and our waiter Miled, was wonderful.
I have ordered from this place on Uber eats with their buy 1 get 1 free promotion so I tried the margarita and prosciutto pizza authentic Italian style totally my kind of pizza and the crispy chicken sandwich was good too but the the chicken and shrimp was amazing especially considering I ordered in so I could imagine if I ordered in restaurant how much more I would enjoy it. I havent been in the restaurant so I cant speak to that but I am new to the area and the outside of the restaurant/venue is a real show stopper and makes for an amazing landmark for the Woodbridge plaza, area. I love the farmhouse look and ambiance they have going. Me and my husband will definitely be visiting for a sit down and possibly even plan an event there.
Went for a bridal shower and it was absolutely stunning and the servers were very impressive and on the ball! The interior was rustic but still felt very warm and welcoming with the greenery. Love it!
Great atmosphere and good food last ordered a LA Veranda Pizza and really enjoyed it. Good generous amount of prosciutto on it as well.
Such friendly staff. Very clean . Best for family gathering and get-togethers.
Amazing food, amazing service. Very accommodating for all your event needs! Elio, and staff were amazing. Food
Just had my daughter s baby shower and everything was incredible! The food was very fresh and delicious. The staff went above and beyond with all our needs! A special shoutout to Bella, Balentina and Noel who were extremely professional with all our guests. The place is already decorated so beautifully that very little needed to be added as for decor. I m looking forward to many more celebrations at La Veranda Resto! Vegetarian options: Very fresh and delicious vegetarian dishes were offered. Dietary restrictions: Accommodated guests with dietary restrictions who were gluten free and dairy free. They offered many options.
We have NEVER had a bad meal here! Our favourites are the juicy chicken burger, the agnolotti, the calamari and the chicken & shrimp dinner. You can taste the freshness and quality, simple yet so delicious. Take advantage of the BOGO free meals, they re actual meals, not like free fries or free bread (omg I forgot about their homemade artisan bread which is also delicious)! 5 THUMBS UP
Love this place! My family and I are repeat customers!
We had a party this Saturday at LA Veranda. Food was very delicious and customer service was excellent. I would recommend everybody to visit LA Veranda to have a great experience.
I decided to surprise my husband with a Western theme party for his 50th birthday and chose to do it at La Veranda because of its rustic wood decor. From the start Elio and Jasmine were so kind and accommodating as they went out of their way to help me plan the perfect menu and decor to fit the theme. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I received so many compliments from my guests. I highly recommend La Veranda to anyone looking for a special place to celebrate.
Stunning location. Ive had the pleasure of having two amazing events here. Food and service are top notch. Will definitely continue to book for future events and highly reccomend!
Such a mediocre meal. Got the chicken burger and the Calabrese pizza. It was okay. Nothing special.
It is the best place to celebrate any family event. The food is amazing, the decorations are outstanding, the atmosphere is wonderful and the service is beyond 5 Stars. Thank you Elie and Yasmin for all your efforts to make La Veranda our #1 choice for our occasions.
Lovely experience. We were part of a private celebration. The menu was prechosen so I cant comment on value or variety but or food and service were great. Lots of stairs in and out which wasnt a problem for us. I think Nona (91) was allowed to enter via the kitchen to avoid the climb. Food
Played Music for a private event @ la Veranda, very cozy atmosphere and the team is very friendly. Great experience
Beautiful venue and atmosphere. Very attentive service.
many times we dine in and attended many events Very welcoming staff, delicious food ,so clean . The best place ever for events! Food
Great food and service
The atmosphere, food, and service here are wonderful! The owners are attentive, and make events here very special. Every time we have had dinner or an event here it has been fantastic - from the beautiful decor inside, to the tasty food (polenta fries, bruschetta, grilled zucchini, fish, pasta), and refreshing drinks. From flower arrangements to friendly service, theyve got it all! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Went to this place last week, and I was pleased with my visit. The staff were warm and efficient, the variety of items was excellent, and the prices were affordable. The restaurants location is convenient, with ample parking available. Id definitely recommend it and return for future.
I had my baby shower at La Veranda this past weekend and I am so thankful I did. Everything was wonderful, from the gorgeous décor and ambiance to the delicious food and amazing staff. They made my day absolutely fantastic! Elie and Yasmine were incredibly accommodating, friendly and gracious. They went above and beyond in elevating my baby shower to the best it could be; I wouldn t hesitate to book any of my future events at La Veranda!
Ive recently visited this restaurant bathrooms were dirty, no toilet paper, had no hand soap hand, dryers didnt work either. Terrible service, alot of young kids working. Owners look very unfriendly.
Best place to book a any occasion like Anniversary, Wedding, Communion, Birthdays.... Elie and Yasmine will take care of everything. Great place and amazing people.
We held a family event at La Veranda. Wonderful atmosphere, outstanding food & amazing service. Staff we very responsive & so accommodating Made us feel at home & made our event memorable. Thank you Jasmine & Elio.
We just had our daughter s communion here this weekend and I am so pleased with the experience we had! Jasmine and Elio are such amazing people who went above and beyond to make this event so truly special! I cannot say enough good things about them! The restaurant is beautiful and the food was wonderful! The service is also amazing! Thank you again for everything! You made the day so perfect! We will definitely be back!!!
We randomly chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. We didnt really know what to expect, the pictures looked good and the reviews were excellent. From the moment we called to make reservations, we felt so welcomed. Elio answered with a warm fun Hello and we knew we were going to have a good night...Well lets just say it was beyond our expectation. As we stepped into the door we heard laughter and lively conversation. We were seated and the rest of the evening was just so much fun. The presentation and food were outstanding. The Staff was attentive and the decor was warm and welcoming. We really felt we were sitting in an Italian villa. Thanks for a great night La Veranda!!!
This is the second Baptism we have hosted at La Veranda and we are once again very pleased. A one stop-shop a family run business with love and care. A wonderful husband and wife team Elio creating the most delicious food Jasmine taking care of all of your decor and service needs. The ambience of the venue is truly beautiful and unique on its own. Our guests had a blast, enjoyed the beautiful venue and raved about the delicious food. A hidden gem in the heart of Woodbridge! Thank you Elio and Jasmine
Food was good, but we only had pizza, salad and the mussels, looking forward to trying a pasts next time. Went on a Sunday and it was a bit rowdy with family parties, but thats to be expected for a family restaurant like this. Overall a great experience.
Delicious food and perfect size portion. I celebrated my birthday there so we had limited menu items as a group but everything was delicious. The one disappointing thing is that they don t offer thing for the birthday unlike most restaurants where they d at least bring you dessert. They never served bread either!
If I could give 100 stars I would! Jasmine and Elie are the absolute best to work with. My bridal shower was everything I could have imagined it being and more. Not only was the food and service amazing, but Jasmine helped set up the entire event and made my vision a reality! If youre thinking of booking an event here, just do it!
Had a great time. Excellent service by Marisa and great Latin music by dj John Lopez. He really knows his music and welcomes requests. Appetizers and braised beef were amazing.
Great dinner and dancing venue. Marisa is an attentive server. Looking forward to more Friday Latin dancing nights with dj John Lopez.
Such a lovely place the food was awesome. The service was great and Latin night with DJ John Lopez was fantastic!! His music selection 10/10. Highly recommend attending for Latin night!!!
This is by the far the best restaurant service and food one could ever ask for ! The service is excellent everyone is so friendly and readily available for all questions. And the food is sooo tasty and fresh ! I d give it a thumbs up and cant wait to go back again !
The food was very good. However, we were charged extra for wine consumption when we were told that its included in the price...which wasnt. The workers there are very nice. The atmosphere is good. Be CAREFUL when you make the deal for the group booking cause the management is very sneaky:(
I recently visited La Veranda with high hopes after hearing about the place. However, my experience turned out to be quite disappointing. The restaurant mentioned at the beginning that the wine they are serving was included in the price, but upon receiving the bill, I realized they were charging the wine as extras. And we had been charged for 11 bottles which we are not sure even if this number is correct or not! The service at the restaurant was decent, and the ambiance was pleasant, but the misleading information about the included item made all the group disappointed when we received the bill. It felt like a bait-and-switch tactic to attract customers, which is disheartening. I believe transparency is crucial when it comes to customer satisfaction. If there are any charges for items that were initially claimed to be included , it should be clearly communicated to avoid any misunderstandings. I hope La Veranda takes customer feedback seriously and works on improving their communication and integrity. As a customer, I value honesty and fair practices, and unfortunately, my experience didnt align with those values. Overall, I cant recommend this restaurant due to the misleading information. If you decide to visit, make sure to clarify any uncertainties about the menu offerings to avoid similar disappointments.
Short story is that everything was great in our group bday party until the bill time, where they wanted one bill, they kept opening wine bottles deliberatley while instructed not to since it was not included in the original agreement which caused major embarrassment to the host . This review should only reflect on the management and not on any of the service providers who were professional, courteous and super diligent. And again, I would go to this place again should they become more clear on their agreements in the future. Wheelchair accessibility: It is not
The place itself is wonderful, the food is great and yummy and the service is truly awesome. However, if youre hosting an event there be extremely careful of the details and make sure all is in writing as the host of our party was pushed to pay extra for 11 bottles of wine even though they clearly indicated more than once not to give out wine and when the guests asked the servers they were told repeatedly it was all included.. our host was extremely embarrassed and had to pay.. I would go again as a restaurant but would not suggest hosting any function in there unless youre 150% sure of what youre getting yourself into. If it wasnt for that I would give it 5 stars but unfortunately the sneaky games that were played by management cost them. Sadly I am convinced they dont really care! Beware!!!
Food and Service were fine But the manager is a dishonest person. He has done everything possible to deceive us. We were a big group, and we agreed on the package. The manager has kept servicing wine bottles, and he has repeatedly confirmed that these bottles are included in the package. At billing time. Every single person in the group has paid 30% to 40% extra Dont go to this restaurant unless you dont care or you are willing to spoil your dinner arguing the bill.
Basically I have been to this place once time for surprise birthday of my friend, we asked for a drink especially wines if it included soft drinks , we do asked couples of times the assistant manager but unfortunately we shocked when we charged for the food and drink , they charged everyone for the wines. We feel disappointed that this nice place did this action to overcharge us despite of confirmation with the waitress and also the assistant manager . I strongly don t recommend this place due to bad management and customer unsatification and also misleading information .
It all started when my wife threw me a birthday party at this place. She had everything written on the contract and agreed on all the details, from food menus to the open bar. The ambiance and the food were great. Beforehand, my wife advised the restaurant owner, named Elio, to have an open cash bar, where all the guests would pay for their own alcohol consumption at the cashier bar. During the party, the waitress ran around with red/white bottles, telling all the guests that it was included. When my wife noticed the situation, she told the owner not to open any more bottles. However, later on, wine was served again for everyone by the waitress. In the end, it was embarrassing for the host as the owner added all the bottles to the bill and refused to remove them, getting angry in the process. This led to a feeling of dishonesty and game-playing on the part of the owner. While I would have given this place 5 stars for its great ambiance and food, the misleading and sneaky way they overcharged the guests has left me with no desire to go there again. I would advise anyone planning to host a party there to be 100% sure to check all the details and go over every small detail carefully.
La veranda is an hidden gem in Woodbridge from the ambience to the food, the staff and the owner. I ve gone there many times and la veranda has never failed to make it an enjoyable time.
The food was okay and the service was good but we got tricked from the management, be careful with the owner when you are dealing with him.
The food was amazing, the entire experience was amazing! Will definitely come again!
This restaurant is amazing! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is so much fun
5 stars does not do this restaurant a justice. We were a table of 6 people. The food was so tasty and fresh. We loved every dish we ordered and our server was very friendly. we could not have chosen a better place. The ambience was amazing. You must go to la veranda for their Italian food.
I can proudly say that La Veranda is one of my favourite restaurants, I go here all the time. The atmosphere is so cozy and makes you feel at home. The food is just wow, theres no other way to describe it. And most importantly, the service is a 10/10. I love this place.
What an amazing experience. The food was outstanding, the service was amazing and the atmosphere made me feel very welcomed. Highly recommend it if you re in the area!!
BE CAUTIOUS!!! The restaurant owner is extremely deceitful! Initially, I chose that restaurant over a party room to avoid the hassle of preparations and food so I could enjoy the party. Regrettably, that wasnt the case. A few weeks before the event, I visited the restaurant and signed an agreement detailing the food menu. It was explicitly stated that it would be a CASH BAR ONLY (I was not going to pay for an open bar), and he AGREED. The cost was set at $82, which I didnt negotiate even though it seemed a bit pricey. With around 40 guests plus kids, there was no need for him to use his deceitful tactics to make extra money. On the day of the event, while I was preoccupied with guests, his deceptive behavior began. Just 45 minutes right before the event, he called me and asked if he should place wine bottles on the tables. I firmly replied NO, as we had agreed upon CASH BAR ONLY. Upon my arrival, amidst dealing with guests, he took advantage of the situation and informed me that people had been requesting wine. He refused to cover the cost even though it was his fault. To avoid further conflict, I offered to take care of the two opened bottles at that time by myself and asked him to STOP serving wine without payment. However, his persistence continued as he pressured guests into consuming wine, falsely claiming it was included. As a result, I ended up paying for 11 extra bottles of $600. Yet, I chose not to escalate the situation to avoid embarrassment in front of my guests. Furthermore, during the party I discovered that he mistakenly changed one of the food menu from the agreed-upon outlined in the contract. His response was a simple apology, stating it was his error and that I should have alerted him when the waitress placed the incorrect dishes on the table. Frankly, this was unacceptable! The following day, after he received two negative reviews from our invited guests, he called me and displayed a rude behaviour. Although he admitted his mistake and promised to compensate me by covering the additional charges for the wine, he played a game with me and ignored my messages after. This entire experience was not pleasant! Despite having a well-defined Agreement and clear rules, I am very disappointed and dissatisfied. Wheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility
The restaurant charged me the full cost of attending the event (83$) even though I couldn t attend as I was sick The details: I was invited to a birthday gathering in that restaurant and the entire place was booked for the birthday event the restaurant deal that was agreed upon with the event organizer was as follow: cost per adult is $62 + tax + gratuity which in total around $83 per person I confirmed that I am attending But the night before the event I got sick so I canceled in the morning before the event as I won t be able to attend; I was the only one who cancelled out of the expected number of attendance . The restaurant insisted to charge the group the full cost of my bill and I had to pay 83$ including Tax+gratuity (they charged 39 instead of 38 who attended ) I can t give my opinion about their food or their service as I didn t attend but the management needs to show some understanding of people s circumstances and not to charge them of things they haven t consumed
Very nice place to celebrate with family. Food is delicious and service is the best. Recommend getting the pasta and appetizers. Owner is very friendly and accommodating. Look forward to coming here again!
Food is amazing, atmosphere is unmatched.
Great food and great atmosphere to dine in!
This is an amazing Italian restraint with various yummy food choices and amazing service. As an Italian myself, I quite enjoyed the Italian cuisine and kind service. Highly recommend you come for your functions, lunch, or dinner.
Today, September 1st, we celebrated my husbands 65th birthday at La Veranda Resto..the experience was fabulous...delicious food from appetizer to main dish..the owner Elio was so hands on. Service we received from Marissa and Bela were amazing. The ambiance was cozy and romantic. We will definitely recommend this place and will surely be in our list for another event. Thank you for the great experience. You made our celebration so special. Rey&Ludi
The best place in Woodbridge! It s a special place in a special town where special things happens! It was blast! Me and my friends are so glad and thanks to all guys who was taking care of us and a special thank to the owner of this place so we had such a great time all together. Elio thank you for this. Big time
We celebrated our brother-in-law s 65th birthday at this restaurant. The food was just amazing from the appetizer to the main course. Food was plentiful: the antipasto deluxe board and calamari fritti was just perfect. So was the bruschetta the bread had the right crunch and topped with a tasty tomato and basil. The chicken skewers with vegetables and braised beef over a delicious mash was really really good. Elio, the owner and Marissa and Bela were really great. They were very accommodating and made sure we had a great time. Certainly we will be back. Date of visit: September 2023
I celebrated my daughter s birthday over the weekend at La Veranda Resto and the experience was beyond my expectations. The ambiance was delightful, the food was great and the over all service was fantastic. A special thank you to the lovely Jasmine and Bella for being extra helpful with the setup and Elio for accommodating all my special request. Five star.
I had my wedding reception at La Veranda and we could not be happier with how everything turned out! Jasmine and Elio were amazing to work with from start to finish. Jasmine set everything up for us and made the restaurant look stunning. She created a beautiful back drop for photos. The food and the staff were amazing and everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you so much Jasmine, Elio and your staff for making our wedding so special!
Amazing restaurant. Best Italian restaurant in the city. Food is amazing and service is outstanding. They are always going above and beyond.
Unique experience, for wonderful and tasty dishes, served by a very helpful waiter... also speaking perfect French ( ). Restaurant that I highly recommend. To not spoil anything and continue the culinary experience at home, we asked for doggy bags.
This place sucked. The mussel shells were all completely closed and absolute no. We ordered a bottle of wine and they simply poured without a tasting. Anyone who appreciates fine dining needs to stay away.
I had my twins baptism reception here and it was amazing. Great food, staff is so friendly and helpful, Jasmine and elio were so great to work with. The atmosphere was great, they even played awesome music!! Overall, a great place. I will be returning for sure!
Always amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Owners are so warm and welcoming and food portions are always great! 10/10 would always recommend La Veranda!
We recently held our son s wedding rehearsal dinner there and it was a wonderful experience. The food was great, the host and staff were friendly and extremely accommodating. All the guests were very happy and complimentary about the place and experience. The owner ensured that everything would go well and he was right. Everyone is very customer oriented. We would definitely host another event there in the future.
I recently had my twins Baptism at La Veranda. I had the best experience in working with Elio & especially Jasmine. She is truly wonderful and made our event magical and memorable for us and our guests. She went ABOVE & BEYOND to decorate for our Angel-themed Baptism. When I arrived to the restaurant for my event I was so moved by the work she did it brought tears to my eyes. It looked so beautiful and exceeded any expectations I had. I cannot thank her enough. Ive never had service and an experience to this level before for any event I have held at a restaurant. The food was AMAZING and the service was great. In fact, I had several guests message me to tell me how wonderful the event was and how good the food was. Jasmine & Elio - thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making our event a memorable one for my family.
Went for a lunch date and we were so pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was empty so we had the whole place to ourselves and the chef was just so friendly and kind. We got the Suicide Pizza, Pollenta fries, Calamari fritti, and the Bruschetta. Prices were fair. The vibe was nice and cozy. The food was amazing. The pizza was flavourful and crispy on the bottom, the Pollenta fries were pretty good (and I don t usually like pollenta fries), the Bruschetta is a must have!! so delicious, and the Calamari was probably the best calamari I ve ever had and the sauces that came with it were a tartar and red pepper sauce and both were incredible (and I don t really like tartar! so that should say something). I would definitely come back and would recommend!
Came in with 3 friends on a Saturday around 7:30pm. Probably about 10 people in tbe restaurant aside including us. Ambiance was nice but skeptical of the food since because of how empty it was. Perhaps it was because of the construction around the corner. Anyway, we ordered the grilled calamari and crispy feta rolls. Waited showed up with deep fried calamari instead. He apologized for the error and said the grilled calamari was coming out as well and the deep fried was on the house. We thought that was good service. Taste wise.. It was okay. 6/10 A little bland in comparison to what I feel is great calamari. The grilled arrived and none of us were fans of it. We left most of it on the plate. For entrees 2 guys ordered the veal shank dinners. One ordered the chicken and I played it safe with the mushroom pizza. The 3 of their ordered all arrived together. I told them not to wait for me and to dig in. The veal shanks were bland. They wanted cracked pepper but apparently it doesnt exist here. Only the standard table salt/pepper. They didnt finish their meals. The chicken dinner was okay, but was served warm. 10 min go by and my pizza still hasnt arrived. He says there was a problem with my order so they had to make a new one but its on the house. Sure.. I guess. Odd how these mistakes are happening when we are literally the only customers here. Another 10 or 15 min later he comes with the pizza. Now everyone has to watch me eat. The pizza itself was literally cheese, bread, mushrooms and some oregano. Also very, very bland. Finally we all finished our food and realized that the ceasar salad that was ordered alsp never came out. We just cancelled it. It was shocking how poor the service was considering the place was dead. Food wasnt good. Service was poor. Lots of mistakes with our orders. Bland food. Honestly would never come back.
Thank you to Elio for a fantastic meal for my father s birthday! We were a table of 6, and to start we had a double order of calamari and homemade feta rolls. If you re a calamari lover like me, you ll be happy to know that there is no other fried or grilled calamari like here. We ordered chittarini al mare (just outstanding) along with the legendary Osso Bucco! We have loved La Veranda for many years now! Elio has perfected his homemade bread, pizza dough and the toum garlic sauce among everything else on the menu! We have had communion, Confirmation, birthday parties and several take out orders as well. If you re looking for fantastic food, service (thank you to Pina for service that night!) and ambiance (very rustic!) you will love it here. If you are a salsa dancer or looking to learn, they offer a set dinner and lesson from Sole to Soul the last Friday of each month! ***Wheelchair accessibility is from the back of the restaurant.*** Vegetarian options: Gluten free, eggplant parm, cauliflower steak etc Dietary restrictions: Just let Elio know. Wheelchair accessibility: From the back entrance.
I ordered food from them today and what they sent was nothing like the description of what the food was supposed to be. They must have run out of ingredients and unilaterally decided to substitute a worse quality cut of chicken, cooked differently than as advertised, substituted sweet potato mash instead of mashed potato and a broth sauce instead of creamy mushroom sauce. Certainly won t be ordering from there ever again. Total misrepresentation!
Food is good. Service is slow.
Nice Italian restaurant that serves quality fine dining food. It s cozy vibes are unmatched and i ve never seen another place with the same aesthetic. Other than walk-in dining, they also host private events, which i attended a few times over the years. The staff is very friendly, and always go above and beyond to meet expectations. Additionally, i ve also attended Salsa nights, which they host once a month and bring in a DJ along with a Salsa instructor. The crowd is very mature, would definitely come back again. It s a very unique place and I definitely recommend giving it a try.
Awesome
Great food great service
Steak was delightful. And the waiter was extremely nice.
Best food I ve ever eaten. Great service and very clean. Would 100% recommend. Vegetarian options: Very diverse vegetarian options. Dietary restrictions: Has foods that respect my diet.
NEVER AGAIN! Poorly managed business, short staffed, EXTREMELY rude chef. Once seated, we ordered drinks and appetizers. About 45 min. later some of our appetizers arrived with no drinks. We reminded our waiters about the drinks and continued on with our apps. Now we ordered our mains and still no drinks, reminding the waiters once again. While only some of us received our main course, we were still waiting for our drinks. Not to mention that the chicken fingers and fries that were ordered for the children, were RAW inside and burnt on the outside, needless to say we sent it back. Obviously we expressed our displeasure and were met with great hostility by the chef who then inappropriately SLAMMED 2 dishes onto the table he had just prepared, where our 93 year old grandmother was sitting practically screaming at the top of his lungs. We were a large party with reservations made for a special birthday. Upon booking (with Elio)we were ASKED if we would like a set menu or order a la carte, to which my aunt replied we ll just order a la carte since we ve never been there before and everyone has different food preferences. So this is what the agreement was. Their excuse for the slow and poor service was that we were too many people and they never do a la carte for large parties. This should have been made clear upon booking rather than give us the option and have the night turn into a disaster. After all of this fiasco and deciding to end the night with the cake we brought, at least 4 of us ended up leaving hungry as we NEVER got our main course. What a nightmare!
Went for dinner. The food is good. Arugula salad is great. Tiramisu is one of the best in town. The restaurant is not very big and it s located in the Market Link in Woodbridge. More like a hidden gem. I been here many years ago and will definitely going back.
Just had a catered Christmas lunch at my Zia s house over the weekend. The food was amazing and the staff are awesome. Highly recommend and would order from there again . Thanks!!
Elio and his team were incredible! We hosted our staff party there this year, and I had nothing but incredible feedback about the space, the service, and the food. Elio and his team took care of everything, making sure the space was setup just right and as we requested to make our event special. Thank you to Elio and the La Veranda staff - incredible job :) (Samantha from Organic Traditions)
Visited this hidden gem for the first time tonight with friends. The ambiance and service are superb. Definitely recommend it. Lots of great options and very reasonably priced. Our waiter Noel was the best. Will definitely go back to this place. It looks like it would be super pretty in the spring as well.
Nice spot! Good food, the calamari was awesome.
Osum interior n food!!!
Food and attention was excellent, we will be returning more often.
Poor quality food and service. Kept forgetting our appetizer despite frequent reminders and only received it after our main. Did not have a vegetarian menu for their set menu initially and then made an eggplant paramagiano which was reheated from frozen (steaming hot on the outside, cold on the inside), dessert was miniscule, about the size of 2 batteries. The ambiance was nice. Paid $170. Not worth the money or the wait.
Great food and fabulous service.
I come here very often and I absolutely love love this place. The owners husband and wife are very nice people and the food is amazing and great price. The place its beautiful decorated and it perfect for private functions. I recommend LA Veranda to everyone
Had my bridal shower few weeks ago at la Veranda and it was the most amazing experience ever, 5 stars does not do it justice. The food was amazing presentation and taste. Jasmine and Elio are the most amazing hosts what ever you need and want they make it possible. Always available to take a call and make your event one you will always remember. My Guests were extremely happy. Hosting an event at la Veranda is an absolute must will definitely be back to host more events here.
This was my most amazing experience hosting an event. Jasmine is wonderful! Her experience and keen eye on making sure everything looked stunning and exquisite was invaluable. The food was exemplary! HIGHLY recommend this venue for anything! Thank you Elio and Jasmine for your spectacular hospitality!!!
We had my sisters bridal shower here this weekend and it was so beautiful! The food was outstanding and the staff are lovely! Will definitely have many more events here!
very bland food. Ordered the penne a la vodka. extremely disappointed.
I had my daughter s bridal shower today at la Veranda and it was the most amazing experience ever. The decor was mind blowing, the food was amazing as always, Yasmine and Elie are such wonderful hosts. Yasmine makes the impossible possible with her creative design and decor it was absolutely stunning and was breath taking.The bride to be and Guests were extremely happy and were taken away by the talent and passion behind the decor, hospitality and food! If you d like to host any event, La Veranda is the place to be. Thank you for a great day and making my daughter s day extra special.
Food was amazing!! Service as well!
Great antipasto and steak.
Family run restaurant, cozy ambiance and delicious food
Beautiful place with amazing atmosphere and delicious food !!
I booked a private event in November 2021 to be held on June 5, 2022. Elio (the owner?) emailed me on March 8 asking that I call him the next day. He ultimately let me know that he had double booked and was no longer able to accommodate my booking, despite having a deposit for FOUR MONTHS! He provided less than ideal suggestions on alternative days/times and at this point, I decided I wanted absolutely no association with this terrible restaurant. This was super disappointing, overall an awful experience and I would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
Amazing Food, Great Owners & Marvellous Ambiance!!
Everything Ive had so far is pretty fresh and tasty. I liked the penne and tigatoni, and their pizza. But the steak was just so-so, and the calamari was awful. I took it out so I couldnt send it back - it seriously was like undercooked frozen calamari that didnt smell right. Id go back, but will stick with the pizza and pasta.
The venue is spectacular and the staff professional and helpful
5 stars is not enough.. we just celebrated my Bridal shower there this past weekend and it was perfection..The service, the food, the beautiful decor ugh I can t say it enough.. so if you are looking for a venue to host an event and have nothing to worry about than this is the place. Thank you jasmine and elie and staff for everything, we were 60 crazy ladies but you guys handled everything so amazingly we will definitely be back!! Thank you again
The owner is not reliable. Cancelled my booking 5 days before the event in favour of probably bigger and more profitable booking. He claimed human error but forced me to scramble to find another venue. Luckily, I found a better restaurant and at a lower cost. Will never go to his location ever again.
Great atmosphere, service, food and music.
What a night!!! One of the best restaurants in Woodbridge!! The food, presentation and the staff at La Veranda, is bang on!! When I eat at most restaurants, I always get that thirsty feeling and or bloating due to MSG. Never, ever, have I had this happen to me from La Veranda. Fresh food all the time and sooo sooo good!! I highly recommend this restaurant for all occasions!! Keep up the great work!! See you all real soon!
Amazing Restaurant
We recently celebrated my parents 50th anniversary at La Veranda, and it could not have gone better. The venue went above and beyond to help with seating arrangements and decor, and did everything in their power to ensure a successful event. The food was fantastic! The Branzino was easily one of the best meals Ive experienced. Incredible food, great ambiance, wonderful hosts. Thank you La Varanda for a truly memorable occasion!
Eat in the restaurant food is good but chairs need causions they are very hard wood chairs get some causions and put it on thx
We hosted my engagement party here and it was amazing! We had quite a large party and everyone was so pleased with the food and service. The pasta was especially delicious and they even decorated the tables for us! La Veranda is really a hidden gem highly recommend it for a private event!
I had a wonderful engagement party here where both the owners and staff were amazing with their organization and service. Highly recommend!
Nice clean place good prices good service great food I would be there anytime
Tried their new chicken shrimp for takeout. Loved it and will definitely come back for dine in some other day. The owner looks very friendly and passionate about the food
Awesome food and service
We were at La Veranda last night for our engagement party. Everything was fantastic. Great food, great service and an overall very pleasing experience. I d highly recommend them for a private event or a night out.
We had my sons engagement party there. Food was a amazing and piping hot. I would highly recommend this place. Kid-friendliness: amazing service
Very good food and atmosphere
Great Restaurant with amazing food
What an amazing place to have an event! I recently had my moms 60th birthday party (June) and my daughters baptism (Oct 30). The food and service is absolutely amazing and the attention to detail is impeccable. Thank you Jasmine for helping make my daughters baptisms vision come to life. You were amazing to work with. Thank you to Elio and Jasmine for such a beautiful evening. Everyone enjoyed themselves and raved about everything! I will continue to have my future events with you in the future! Emily
La Veranda is an amazing restaurant for all your private events! The owners are welcoming, generous, kind and so helpful. The food is all so good; the calamari, cheese rolls, and cauliflower are a must try. But you can t go wrong with any of the options. The restaurant is beautiful and Yasmine is so great in helping you decorate it. All our guests loved everything about the event. Thank you for making our engagement a memorable one.
I attended a family event here and my first impression was very pleasant. Decor is cute with nice vaulted ceilings. The food was delicious as well. Would definitely recommend and cant wait to come back.
Nice service and cozy place
We just hosted our daughters baptism celebration this past Sunday at La Veranda and couldn t be happier with choosing this restaurant. The food and service was outstanding! Booking with Elio was great, a very smooth process. Jasmine was an absolute star - she agreed to set up all of the decor (florals, candles, party favours and sweet table) the morning of my event. Our guests had a fabulous time, the ambiance was incredible and we would highly recommend La Veranda to anyone who wants a superb dining experience. Thank you again to Elio and Jasmine for showing such kindness, care and passion for your guests - it does not go unnoticed!
We eat out often at different restaruants and La Veranda is by far my best choice. Ellie and his family make the best food, the quality is outstanding and he treats everyone like family!! My Girlfirend and i dine there often and we especially love their chease board pasta athier Calmari by far best of we have had!! cant go wrong here and very affordable keep up the great food and Hospitality Elie Dom and Rissa
It was good friendly staff food was good
Fantastic food and excellent customer service. Owners are amazing! It s a must try. You will not be disappointed!
Food and hospitality were excellent. Six in our group set at three Covid compliant tables. Will be back.
Delicious food!! Lovely staff !!!
Best braised beef sandwich Ive ever had. Ordered on Uber eats, cant wait to try dine-in hot & fresh!
First time there only person tending to customers guy working in the back kept popping up with no mask . The Kebbe balls were frozen on the inside my wife s chicken was cold and raw at the end my mussels were also cold would not go back .
Consistent friendly service, great food and vast wine list. The restaurant is beautiful. It is designed beautifully. The moment you step inside their doors its as if you travelled to the Mediterranean. The ambiance the amazing service, and the good food why we keep going back to this place.
Horrible experience ordering from this restaurant (used Uber Eats). Ordered Grilled Organic Salmon Fillet. They had a deal going on - Buy 1 get 1 free. The description said it comes with cauliflower rice, mushroom, and pancetta. But when I got the order, the cauliflower rice, mushroom, and pancetta all were missing. What I got instead was a small salmon piece with carrots, broccoli, and some beans. This is misleading at best and cheating at worst. Photos attached.
Great dine-in experience... been here a few times when restaurants were open. Worth checking out and I will be back!
Where do we begin? From the minute we started talking to Elio and Jasmine from La Veranda we knew our experience here would be unforgettable. With the pandemic posing many uncertainties we turned to them to help us plan a micro wedding at their restaurant. They guided us and constantly reassured us that they would pivot with us as the government continuously changed restrictions. They would take time to reply to our e-mail or give us a call to talk. Up until our wedding on June 19, 2021, Elio and Jasmine went above and beyond to make sure our day was simply beautiful and one we would never forget. Jasmine worked with us to come up with a photo area and even provided her own decor that matched our wedding theme (she is so unbelievably talented). Elio was nonstop working our wedding night to ensure everything went smoothly! Thank you! They allowed us time to set up and tear down our event. We cant say enough good things about them. I know people always want to know about the food and it was DELICIOUS! Plenty of food to go around. Everything was fresh and so flavourful. We will be back celebrating at this location. Thank you La Veranda! Stephanie and Philip Rivers
Hands down a 10/10 experience attending a wedding at La Veranda. The food was phenomenal, the staff was so kind and the atmosphere was wonderful. Excellent experience!
This is by far my favorite place to hang out and people watch. Fun family atmosphere and great food.
Do not go here. Unless you know something or someone I dont.
My fiancé and I chose La Veranda for our wedding because we loved the decor and food. Little did we know this was only the beginning of their amazing service! They worked so closely with us to make the day perfect. We could not recommend this venue enough for a family dinner or special event. It was the absolute best!
Good food and a good venue for a little celebration.
Amazing food, amazing service and helpful with my family. Thanks for the amazing celebration!
The ambiance is very comfortable and inviting. The food I would have to say mediocre. The service was less than acceptable. They had 2 events going on and they were short staffed. We were seated at 7:15, they didnt take our orders for 45 minutes and even after we were quickly served we stoll waited for 29 minutes before our drinks were served. We may give it another try hoping that it was just an off night. The management was very friendly and comped us some after dinner drinks (to make up for the poor service Im sure). Its such a cute restaurant.
Delicious food, great customer service and beautiful decor. Highly recommended
Great service Did my wedding reception there good good and good service
what a great family-run restaurant. lovely atmosphere, great service and good food with great price points. perfect for all occasions!! a must-visit!
Amazing restaurant! Food is great, atmosphere is cozy and warm and the staff are very friendly. I just cant say enough good things!
Beautiful restaurant, friendly and attentive staff and owners, a wonderful venue for gatherings and parties. The food here is delicious, generous portions and fresh made to order. A perfect location for weddings, showers and parties. Check out salsa nights every month!
Just had my wedding reception at La Veranda Resto. The owners and staff were all friendly, helpful and very hard working. Setting up was great the place looked fantastic. And the food! Let me just say this was some of, if not the best, freshest food Ive ever had! I highly recommend for any event or wedding. The prices are great value for money aswell. Made our day very personal and special! We will never forget! Thanks you to Elio, Jasmin and all the La Veranda staff! (Those ladies in the back can cook!) Amazing! Steve Helm.
On March 11, 2020 My wife booked a luncheon at La Veranda on Woodbridge Av. for 30 people to be held on April 24, 2020 and gave the owner Elio Daher a $500 deposit via etransfer. Shortly after, COVID happened, things changed quickly and all restaurants were closed to parties. My wife exchanged a few emails with Mr. Daher which stated that due to unfortunate circumstances by no fault of mine the lunch had to be cancelled. I think as a good faith gesture and the coming hardships of COVID a return for my deposit should have been given back. Mr. Daher declined this request on March 31 2020 because the venue was closed and no refunds could be issued until operations resume. This did not sit well with me since my method of payment was an e-transfer. On April 5, 2020 I requested again a refund for my deposit with no response back from Mr Daher. I sent a follow up email on April 13, 2020 . Mr Daher then responded on April 15 2020. He no longer mentioned a refund and said that I could only take this as a credit to use in 2020 once the restaurant is operable again. We are all aware deposits can be non refundable but during the COVID crisis a REFUND option for customers should be implemented. There are many people who have booked various occasions at restaurants and banquet facilities and have been given full refunds.
The manager of this restaurant is not an honest person, stealing deposits from customers
A1 Guy ( Eli), A1 ( food La Veranda) A1 ( Service). We cater from Eli and La Veranda quite frequently and i cant speak enough of the quality , service and people. Lets get a Toronto Location soon. All of us Asca Office Solutions appreciate what you do ! Thank you
Great food and service! Amazing!
Great food great service and great ambiance!!! Went to la veranda for our anniversary dinner and the food was fantastic!! Service was amazing they made us whatever we wanted even if it was not on the menu... they served fresh bread to start which was so delicious!! Upon learning it was our anniversary they gave us complimentary dessert!!! Definitely going back the food was so fresh and delicious!
Delicious food with great friends
Mostly known for their awesome events, parties, and salsa nights La Veranda has stepped it up with an open patio restaurant in the middle of the week where they serve delicious dishes, and the deepest red sangrias you can find that. We recommend to start with the charcuterie board before moving to their seafood pasta, polenta fries, or their delicious fish items.
We celebrated our daughter s Baptism on her first birthday here. Everything was so beautiful! The food was excellent. The service was great. The decor set-up by Jasmine was stunning. The venue itself is beautiful, cozy and warm. All of our guests enjoyed the evening. We look forward to hosting our next event with La Veranda again!
Great food, very accommodating staff/owner. Ask for item that are not on the menu - its great food and portions. Decor is very welcoming and there is an outdoor seating... The veranda overlooking the Piazza.
Delicious Food, amazing service and the owner is doing everything to keep the customers happy! Last nights dinner was beyond expectations! We will come back!
I had a great surprise today from a worker at La Verando Resto who came to my workplace to try the Grilled Chicken Pomodori. It was delicious, I will defiantly be ordering that again along with other options on there menu! Thank you so much!
Good food
My personal experience was amazing, the food was delicious and the staff make you feel like family....cant wait to attend their 70/80s disco event
Amazing place for parties and events and I love there Latin nights !!!
We had my husbands 60th Birthday Party on Aug 3/19.It was an excellent place.The food, service and atmosphere was great.All our guests as well as us loved it.Highly recommend this restaurant
Great Place. Good dance lessons on Fridays !
Great food. Great atmosphere! Had so much fun dancing there.
Best restaurant I ve ever been in. Great service, great owner, and amazing food. 100% recommend, awesome owner very nice guy.
Great atmosphere and patio for the summer.
I had a luncheon on October 5th after my sons wedding ceremony for the guests here. AMAZING job! They did extra stuff I didn t even ask for, went above and beyond. Will recommend to anyone. I will be having future functions here. All the guests told me the food was really good and service was great. Thank you elio and team!
First of all the service over all was poor. We were a table of 5, and they were all paying attention to the table of 25. There was another table of 4 in the restaurant. The table of 25 had their Kids running around like lunatics, behind are tables, under our tables! They bumped into our table, spilled drinks - and yet no one working there thought perhaps they should intervene. The food was lousy and basic, the whole place was a total disappointment.
Amazing experience!!! We thought long and hard where to host our third daughters baptism & let me tell you we picked the perfect place. It is absolutely stunning in there with that rustic feel to the point you dont need much decor. Elio was amazing answering any questions and helping us pick out our menu he was very honest in his opinion on what we should have and not have. His wife Jasmine was an absolute gem with her decor ideas but like I said didnt need much but her little touches just made the place even more perfect! The staff was just as great always asking if we needed anything, making sure the guest were fine & the music for our party was on point great selection! The only thing I wish I had found them sooner for our other two kids celebrations. Elio & Jasmine we cant thank you enough for everything once again everything was just perfect!
Excellent venue, very accommodating, food was Delish! Great Event Place!!
We have just returned home after having an AMAZING wedding shower for our daughter at La Veranda Resto in Woodbridge this afternoon and we havent stopped smiling. We were looking for a chalet-chic venue with charm and character and we were delighted to find this wonderful restaurant / event space which delivered beyond our expectations. Jasmine and Elio were so wonderful to deal with - very attentive to my control freak needs - and they created exactly what I envisioned for our daughters shower. I cried when I walked in because Jasmine (co-owner and designer for the event) truly captured my vision for the event - thank you dear Jasmine for bringing our Its A Wonderful Life 40s themed party to life with your carefully chosen props and charming details - the antique radio/record player and vintage suitcases were SO perfect. In addition to being an ideal space - the food was absolutely delicious. Especially enjoyed by our guests were the house made polenta french fries (how do they make them so delicious?) and the vegetable risotto which was exceptional in taste and freshness. Our main meal consisted of roast chicken - sitting on a pillow of perfectly cooked mashed potatoes - and just right harvest vegetables - needless to say - the food was appreciated by all - our kudos to the chef. In addition to the gracious hosting that Elio and Jasmine provided - our thanks to Elaria and Nicholas who also provided us with tremendous service. We are SO happy to have found La Vernada Resto in Woodbridge and we are delighted to recommend this great venue with 5 STARS +++. Thank you so much Jasmine and Elio and your great team - you helped make our daughters shower a memorable event that we are sure we will be talking about for many years to come. All the best, and hope to see you again soon, The Fleurys.
Great place and atmosphere. Looks like a cozy cottage. We had a few main dishes and appetizers and everything was excellent. Service was great and fast. Definitely will come back again.
Our families had the pleasure of visiting La Veranda in Woodbridge to celebrate an 80th Birthday Party. The food was delicious and the staff attentive and bright. Attached are a few images - a great local venue.
Nice venue, came for our company xmas party.
