Service was great! The cheese cake was to die for. Cozy environment with a family friendly atmosphere.
Stopped in for a pizza and a beer after round of golf and this place hit the spot. Definitely want to go back and try some of the menu items. Old school Italian restaurant vibes
I've been going to this place since the early 70's. Food is fabulous and so is the service. Their coleslaw is out of this world. Worth every penny.
Very clean! Everyone was super nice and professional! One of my new favorite places hands down!
First time visit to Verdile's Restaurant in Troy, NY Sun 3/16/25 6pm. Highly recommended by our daughter & her man. So we accepted their invitation. This is a family owned restaurant for 80 years. Consistently wins "Best of" awards locally. Thought they made reservations, dining was full of reservations. We opted to sit at a table in the bar area. Good options as Peter the bartender was also or server. Our drinks were Peroni on tap (7) & Malbecs (10ea). Menu is Italian-American. They offer 4 soups (4cup/5bowl), apps 8-16, salads 12/16, antipasto 20 & 25. Pizza 11-17. Pasta 18-25 note: you can make your own pasta plate from 8 pastas & 6 sauces (15-18). Many other dinners eggplant, chicken & veal parmigiana, scampi, alfredo, piccatta, etc. Also steaks & seafood are offered. Our choices were Fettuccine Alfredo w/shrimp (19), Chicken Piccatta (26), Shrimp Scampi (25), & House Specialty Chicken Scarpariello, chicken, broccoli, sausage, vinegar peppers in a garlic & olive oil sauce (28) - Scarpariello is a rarely found on menus and it was Perfecto! All dinners were served hot to the table. Italian bread served w/ meals. All dinners are served with side of spaghetti or a choice of 2 sides. Hate to nitpick on just one thing that we thought you could do better - the Italian greens were mushy. Now to dessert. Some patrons come here just for Chef Vinnie's Award Winning Carrot Cake. Huge slice, enough for two (11). Check the webpage for a photo of this treat. Plenty of off street parking, clean restrooms, very comfortable bar area. Great first time visit. Thank you Peter & staff. Kitchen did a great job. We will be back for sure. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY
My husband and I had an exceptional first experience at Verdiles this evening. Our waiter Steve was very attentive and personable. The food was delicious and the atmosphere very comfortable. We will definitely be dinning here again in the future. I will be recommending this restaurant to our family and friends
I've been going there since the 70's!! The food is delicious and the employees are very friendly.
This is the first time I've eaten there and I have to say this is one of the best dining experiences I've had. The staff was very attentive and everything arrived quickly. The only thing I would have liked, and it's just a personal preference, what is more garlic in the shrimp scampi. Otherwise it was excellent!
