Too expensive for food that is not high quality, especially for such an establishment. Might as well go to Olive Garden. Gordon Ramsay would spit out your food without a doubt.Do better.

We went for a late lunch after visiting the Truman Library. The food was good and since it was late they were understaffed at the time.

The cost of the food is overpriced for the quality of food. We ordered 3 appetizers, and the amount and flavors were subpar. I ordered the gnocchi, which was good, but the chicken I added was stringy in texture. It was not very busy in our section and seemed to take our waitress a bit to come to our table. Overall, I wouldn't likely return for my Italian cuisine.

On a visit back to Independence with my friend we wanted to enjoy a familiar restaurant, which in the past has been excellent.We had one of the worst experiences of customer service in a restaurant ever. We decided to have cocktails on the patio prior to our 6:30 dinner reservation which was made 2 days in advance. In the 30 minutes we waited no one came to wait on us. We moved to the bar and let the bar tender know, she deserves and extra star as she comped our drinks.However, we will then seated in the smallest table in the hallway of the restaurant. I politely requested a different location and was told that it wasn't possible due to a large party upstairs??? We waited for 10 more minutes whenever greeted offered drinks and the two other tables who came in after us were parties of two were sat at better tables, and were waited on immediately.Very disappointed. Will not be back.

Made a reservation for Monday 04/1/2024 and confirmed it same day. We showed up and the doors were locked...way to ruin a birthday celebration and causing us to scramble to find a new place.

Nice little Italian joint. Got my pasta fix. Very good for the pallets. Only downside is, it is a little out of the way, unless you're on this side of the neighborhood. The breads were really good, olive oil spices needs more flavor.Vegetarian options: Keto options. I didn't get keto, but they have some veggie pasta available.

My husband and I decided to stop for an early dinner at Cafe Verona after touring the Truman Presidential Library and had the most fantastic meal. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and lined with amazing art. The staff and our waitress were friendly. The highlight was the food. Ever since moving to the Midwest, I felt that the Italian cuisine options were pretty abysmal; however, Cafe Verona’s plates were divine. Everything from the hummus, to the Cesar salad, to the pasta, to the tiramisu was absolutely perfect. Plus, for everything we got, the bill was surprisingly fair - we spent far less than expected, I HIGHLY recommend stopping in.

Always a lovely time, though sad they did not continue the amazing peanut butter/banana cheesecake. Nonetheless, you can’t go wrong here. Friendly folks, fast service. 10/10 choice.
