    Not a very busy night mid-week on a cold day. Service was prompt and attentive. Food is excellent. The only knock is the menu doesn’t change. I am sure they could offer additional wonderful stuff seasonally. But a great place to go nonetheless.

    Without question, the best restaurant in Hendersonville! How Yelp and others give this 4 stars is beyond me. I come from NYC and Verri’s compares favorably with any Italian restaurant I’ve been to. The food is great, the staff is great and the chefs are top notch! I just wish they would offer veal piccata and veal francese. If you’re not in the mood for a classic Italian dish, have the steak, osso bucco or rack of lamb. We go once a week. THE BEST!

    We have tried all entries over the last 4 visits and all are delicious. small plate mushrooms, beets, and others are all great. All staff are pleasant and upbeat. Atmosphere is a nice change from the usual restaurant formal. Very intimate setting while still using a community style seating. Daryl and Millicent are both great servers, and all helpers are very attentive. Cant wait to return!
