Jeff Eats is a huge La Veranda- fan! I love its veal parmigiana (it comes with salad, garlic bread, pasta side). Trust me on this one, everything this joint makes is real good!
Now, no fooling here- I’ve eaten in La Veranda tons-of-times and I can’t recall even one-time when there wasn’t a line to get in. The bet here is that the joint just might be doing something right!
Give La Veranda a shot, Jeff Eats is thinking that you definitely won’t be disappointed!

La Veranda is a white-table-cloth Southern Italian joint that isn’t full of itself. I am not sure how long La Veranda has been in business, but I am going to guess 20+ years. Just so you know, indoor/out door patio seating- full liquor bar area.
La Veranda’s food is delicious…Over the years I have eaten in this joint something like 10 times…lobster fra diavlo worth killing over. The veal parmigiana, chicken marsala and the shrimp scampi ain’t bad either. Very good wait-staff. No more expensive than your favorite neighborhood red sauce joint.
Like I said, this is a white-table-cloth joint…but your tee shirt/shorts/flip flop “outfit” works!
La Veranda is open Tuesday-Sunday for dinner. It has an absolutely enormous following, so be smart and make a reservation.
JEFF –
Thanks for reminding me of this ‘gem’ –
Will definitely visit in January after we gorge on Matteo’s –
My wife and I have been eating there for years and the food is delicious. Upscale looking but as Jeff said pretty casual. Try La Veranda you will really enjoy it.
Jeff,
Huge La Veranda fan here. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great looking restaurant with terrific staff and prices. Their food is consistently good and portions require doggy bags. Love this joint.
