    We stumbled on to this little intimate Italian restaurant in Hendersonville quite by accident. Originally hoped to get into another restaurant nearby but it was booked. So we "settled" for Verri's. Wow, were we lucky. The food was extraordinary. My wife predicted it would be good when the side salads (we ordered Caesar salad) and bread were served. She ordered ravioli with cheese and walnuts and I had chicken piccata. Her pasta was rich and creamy; my entree served over penne pasta was just right with lemon and capers. One modest warning: there's not much parking. We ate early because we were heading into Asheville for an event, but I imagine this could be a challenge later in the evening.

    Our server, Benjamin, did a fantastic job welcoming us and highlighting the menu. It was pretty busy and yet our food came quickly and was paced well. Appreciated the mock tail menu and loved the comfort style southern food. Was absolutely worth the drive from Asheville before a show at the Flat Rock Playhouse.

    Perfection just like every time we dine with Postero. We love to bring out of town friends to the place we always rave about because they think we’re exaggerating. Then they experience dining at Postero and they’re blown away. The cherry on top is when we get to say “Told ya so” at the end of the night LOL.

    All of the hype I had read about the Silo................became fact! It's outstanding. Went with friends for drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts. All 5 star. From welcome when opening the door to a high five on exit, it was great. The rib eye, greens, and cookie are to die for. It's not cheap but it's decent value for your dollar.

    Absolutely outstanding. Service was great. Food was prepared and presented beautifully. A great experience all around. I highly recommend. Cocktails were great. Wine list was on the smaller side but the staff understood the wines and made sure we had the proper selections to optimally enjoy our entrees. Desserts are out of this world. We had a medium size group and were the last patrons on a Tuesday night. Staff was kind and professional right up to the end. This place has no equal in Western North Carolina, truly a hidden gem in Hendersonville and well worth the trip.
