Vero Italian Kitchen

Vero has been in our neighborhood for about 3 years, and we finally got around to trying it the other night.  It's all very basic Italian food and counter service, so the atmosphere is laid back.  We all got our favorites--spaghetti and meatballs, alfredo cheese pizza, veggie pizza, and ravioli, with a garlic bread appetizer.  We got garlic bread with our meals, so I probably would not have gotten the appetizer if I'd known that.

What stands out about Vero is their commitment to pleasing the customer.  Our first try at ordering got us a cheese pizza with marinara instead of alfredo.  The owner was there, and he kindly got us a new pizza with alfredo, and then threw in dessert.  If you go there you can be confident you will be treated well, which is important.

The food itself is more OK-competent than outstanding.  The garlic bread has a couple of lines of under-cooked dough running through it that bring down an otherwise tasty side.  All the food is pretty light on seasoning, though my kids enjoyed it very much.  We liked the Ooey-Gooey chocolate cookie with ice cream, it's a great sweet dish to share.  I appreciated the homemade tiramisu, it was well-presented and had very good coffee flavor.

The atmosphere inside is very nice, mostly dark wood, and quite clean.  The bench seats along the entrance have outlets if you look for them.  The restrooms are clean and functional.  In all ways they pay attention to detail for customer comfort.

Overall I have no trouble recommending it for a family lunch or dinner.
