Vero Trattoria Reviews List

Vero Trattoria

Located in midtown Toronto in the heart of Leaside on trendy Bayview Avenue, Vero Trattoria has been serving loyal returning clientele since its opening in 2009. Our menu offers rustic, traditional Italian food using only the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients. Each dish is tastefully and creatively executed by Executive Chef Giuseppe Ruberto with an emphasis on Southern Italian cuisine from Ruberto’s regional upbringing. The new and old world wines are carefully chosen to compliment many of Ruberto’s dishes, representing all wine producing regions in Italy. Attentive and cheerful servers are also knowledgeable and helpful in choosing wine and food pairings. The décor is contemporary though understated. Wine barrel wooden wall slots surround the interior, the restaurant has been designed using only natural materials in a warm and inviting, bustling atmosphere or dine out on our adjacent patio, beautifully appointed.

"Maybe it was mother's day and they were very busy, overall service was VERY slow. We had to wait for at least 30 mins for our dish to come out. Food was flavourless. When we asked for coffee refill, the server gave us the look and then ignored us just because they were out of coffee. He did not have the intention on brewing a new pot. I would not go back."

"This is one of the few restaurants along Bayview worth patronizing. I dined here twice last week. The first time both my guest and I ordered the fish special which was a sea bass with risotto. It was absolutely outstanding! The second evening my guests enjoyed their salad (arugula with mushrooms) and mains: papardelle bolognese and a seafood pasta. I had the bison special - not as flavourful as I might have expected - and the vegetables were sparse and overcooked. Verro's complimentary bread and olives are always tasty, although the night I had the sea bass, the bread was burnt. The space is small and often feels crowded - noise level is high. Just the same, we keep returning. My adult son loves all of their pizzas."

"The food tasted very good and the service was very attentive, although at the beginning of the evening they seemed to serve with a sense of being "rushed". The restaurant was quite busy but there were empty tables. The lamb I ordered was a bit greasy with too much of the "jus" surrounding the plate of vegetables so they were rather unappealing as they cooled down. The other dinner ordered was reported as very good."

"Vero always delivers - whether it's a date night, or a casual lunch with friends, we always leave thrilled with our meal and wanting to come back again as soon as we can. Food is amazing, service is always top-notch, and the entire experience is perfect."

"Overall, we had a below par experience. First of all, we were not greeted warmly when we entered the restaurant. The service only continued to suffer throughout the night. The restaurant was listed under vegetarian/vegan section on OpenTable, yet there were almost no vegetarian/vegan choices on their menu. They offered to accommodate, but they seemed most unwilling to. The ambiance was excellent, however, my guest and I felt very uncomfortable due to the service, or the lack thereof. We ended up finishing our meals as soon as we could so that we could leave quickly. We could not enjoy the atmosphere that the restaurant had to offer.
Bottom line: Would not recommend this restaurant due to the horrible service."

"Service was exceptional. Great touch to let us do a tasting of the house wines to choose which one to drink by the glass. The egggplant parmesan was the perfect texture and flavour which is very hard to achieve in such a busy hotspot. Main course portions of seafood pasta and veal were generous and excellent.Living in Toronto there is so much choice but Vero should not be missed and will become a regular go to."
