09/03/2026: The first thing that comes to mind when describing Verdi is reliability. Plenty of seating, even without a reservation, fast service, friendly staff, and the ultra-thin pizzas that have become their hallmark.

08/03/2026: Unfortunately, it was a terrible experience. I'll start by saying that three pizzas for €45 (without drinks, because they were offered by the birthday boy) is a bit steep, but it would have been almost acceptable if there had been a minimum level of service. Let me explain: we arrive at the restaurant at 8:30 pm, the room is half empty, we wait about half an hour to order, which is understandable... Then we order: a Margherita, a fries and sausage, and a pizza with vegetables (€45). Later, my wife discovers that they can order whole wheat dough, so shortly after, she asks for a different dough, and here the madness begins: the waitress sends me to the pizza chefs, the pizza chefs send me to the waitresses, in short, it's a rite of passage. Apparently it seems possible... It seems... The first pizzas arrive around 9:30 pm, I think it's fair, we have a table of about 15 people, what's not fair is the fact that my daughter's (4 year old) Margherita, the only child at the table and in the dining room, arrives second to last, so around 9:50 pm. In the meantime, a wrong pizza had arrived, chips, raw ham and vegetables... Understanding what had happened, I ask, well, making mistakes is more than fair, "No no, don't worry, we didn't make a mistake, it's coming"... A waiter answers me. After 10 pm I go over and ask again, at the same time my wife, who is diabetic, had her blood sugar at 60, "no no, it's coming, it's coming" In short, this blessed pizza arrived at 10:12 pm. Now whether the pizza is good or not is debatable and subjective, the price is certainly higher than the competition but certainly not a problem. What's not right is that in a place where shopping is the order of the day, there's such a rush, disorganization, and lack of professionalism: plenty of staff, but completely untrained and at times panicked. I counted at least six waiters and two pizza chefs, plus one at the bar and two at the register. I don't think the place even had 60 seats, and even if there were a few more, the ratio still wouldn't hold up. The waiters were really struggling, arriving with pizzas at the table when we still had to order and then nothing more. Plates ended up on the floor, people jumped out of their seats in fright. Women, including two pregnant women and a baby, were never served first. Arguments between colleagues were clear and visible in the dining room... And throughout all this, I repeat, the place was absolutely not full. Finally, as I mentioned before, when it was time to pay, I mentioned what had happened to the lady at the cashier. When she said, "Madam, I have to tell you that we didn't enjoy our stay..." I explained it again. Her response was immediate: "And why did your pizza arrive so late?" I concluded with, "You should explain that to me." I paid what I owed, not a €1 discount, not a free liqueur, not even a word of "sorry." Unfortunately, I found no interest, much less an apology, for what had happened. In fact, it seemed to me that she was quite annoyed, even though I had honestly explained my concerns, and above all, without any disrespect to anyone. I work in this field too, and I know what it means: only those who do nothing never make mistakes, but this is really going too far. Sometimes it takes very little to correct a mistake, but this is stubbornly refusing to admit a misunderstanding, a problem, and repeating mistakes that lead to increasingly less full tables. I HAVE NOT BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AND I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK.

25/01/2026: Well-kept place, friendly staff, raw ingredients and consequently quality dishes!

06/12/2025: the worst food I think in all of Italy... if we ate from the dumpster it was much better!

01/01/2026: The following refers to the New Year's Eve dinner/event. I'll start by saying that I'm not a huge fan of dinners with music, and although there was a reference to it on the website, I didn't pay enough attention to the overall structure of the event. Let's start with the location, which is simply enchanting: Villa Pomela is a former noble residence, once a cultural center of its time. Splendid rooms with expertly renovated stucco and wood paneling remain, a perfect setting for a festive dinner. Regarding the cuisine, the menu was good, albeit with its ups and downs. Some pairings didn't convince me (the basil liqueur éclair remains a mystery to me), while the saffron rice with Gavi, porcini mushrooms, and hazelnuts was perhaps too strong. Overall, a good dinner, although a little pricey in my opinion. What left me most perplexed was the management of the evening: the talented artist who entertained the guests was singing at a volume that was decidedly too loud. The sound system was inadequate for the setting, and conversation at the table was difficult. Despite reporting the issue and temporarily lowering the volume, the problem recurred. Personal opinion: disco music in a place of this type—and with a clientele predominantly over 50—clashed with the location and the overall experience, appearing inappropriate for the setting. A final positive note for the dining room service: the staff was excellent, discreet, and helpful, and the commitment of the young people (probably students from the Novi hotel school) was also commendable.

16/09/2025: A fantastic, atmospheric place with excellent cuisine and service. It's located in a hotel converted from an old estate and decorated in a classic style. I managed to get in after a day of shopping without an appointment, and it turned out to be a wonderful evening.
