Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Troy

Marvin is an amazing server, he is personable, his timing is impeccable, and you can never go wrong with his recommendations. Our appetizers and entrees were flawless and I highly recommended the mushroom ravioli. The only suggestion we have for improvement is the cocktail list. The bartenders were both very friendly, they did a great job executing the cocktails on their list, but the cocktail list is vodka heavy and seems straight out of the late nineties early 2000s. The art of cocktails has involved past mules and 15 flavors of vodka “martinis” and their list would benefit from expanding or at least having the ingredients to cover classics from the IBA list.

Incredible food start to finish - we did the 4 item tasting menu and were blown away by the innovative and high quality dishes - only “miss” was the ribeye which was an up charge - otherwise amazing from cocktails to dessert - highly recommend!!

The signature Don’t Speak cocktail was good. Chianti was very nice. Break basket always wonderful. Oysters were too small. Roasted beet salad was good. Roasted cabbage and lentils entree was outstanding. Chocolate hazelnut torte was very good. Service was outstanding. Christmas tree and roaring fire made it all so cozy.

Beautiful small Italian restaurant. This restaurant has a diverse menu.

It was a small very nice atmosphere! The staff we interacted with were nice and friendly! My husband and I were a bit disappointed in the food. We had the Brussels for an appetizer and they tasted and looked overcooked some dry burnt. The main entree was mediocre, for both of us. We are in no way food snobs. We eat everywhere… our anniversary we decided to try this restaurant because we drive by it regularly. Likely will not go again. Sorry Bar Verona.
