A dining experience that will stimulate the senses and satisfy appetites with bold flavors and fresh ingredients.

Cafe Verona is a wonderful Italian spot in Independence located on the Historic Independence Square. If you have not been to the Independence Square lately it has really changed, and I have some info on that for another time. For now, I am going to just focus on Cafe Verona. For the moderately priced Cafe Verona, the atmosphere is quaint and the food is delicious. It has great specials: On Monday it is all you can eat Spaghetti and kids eat free with each purchase of any main course(1 main course = 1 child eats free); Wednesday is 1/2 price wine from 4 to close; and Happy hour is from 4-6 Monday through Saturday. They even have wine lockers available for the Wine Lover. I have been there many times and am always impressed. Cafe Verona has an extensive menu to please any palate. Whether you are craving the comfort of a classic lasagna or the foodie in you is seeking something adventurous like the Chicken Carciofi, Cafe Verona will satisfy you. A few of my favorite dishes at Cafe Verona are the:

Fig and Walnut Salad
Flatbread Pizza with Pesto Chicken and Balsamic glaze
Grilled Chicken Salad with Raspberry Pistachio
Butternut Squash Ravioli
Gnocchi Trio
