Absolutely excellent. All the food was outstanding. We were seated upstairs which was a little quieter and it made the evening more enjoyable. Our server, Bar, added to our experience. I’ll give him a 10 for making the evening the best it could be. Looking for a restaurant in the Haddonfield area, select Verona. It is the best. Gluten free options and BYOB.

Our waiter and the food were great. On very busy nights they do absolutely no substitutions on their menu. Even changing a salad dressing on their wedge salad. 👎
