My wife and I went here for a Saturday dinner. After street…read moreparking, we entered into a large dining room. Seated quickly, our server was kind and helpful. We ordered the Burrata appetizer, the Chicken Milanese and a Shrimp Francese. The Burrata was good, not great. My wife's Milanese was great, if a little heavy on the Balsamic. My shrimp were delicious. To wrap it up, we ordered a delicious Tiramisu to go. I will definitely give Cork and Crust another shot!

I went here hoping to treat my mom to a lovely Mother's Day dinner- instead what I was left with was waiting to sit (with a reservation) for twenty minutes followed by more than an hour wait for my food. The best part of it was that they added 20% tip on top of my check without even notifying me, on top of the 3% credit card fee that they charge! When did the game for tips change? I believed it was a reflection of the service I wished to show gratitude for. It turns out, this place writes their own rules. It's also worth mentioning that they force you to go through the vale service for a parking lot that is small enough to walk through. I thought vale was also a service I had a choice to choose. Distasteful. Absolutely disgraceful. Certain will not be going there again. Save yourself the trouble and don't go either.

Reservation was ready, we picked our table, and despite brutal cold weather (and door drafts every time someone walked in), service and pacing were great. They even made the seafood salad from my last visit by special request -- octopus, calamari, shrimp, arugula, lightly seasoned, great portion. Entrées were both strong: * Linguini vongole -- clean white broth, great pasta, solid portion * Pork chop with sweet/hot peppers, broccoli rabe, potatoes -- excellent chop, grilled then finished with tomato sauce and peppers (I usually prefer oil-sautéed peppers, but this still worked well) Interesting crowd difference: last time was a Friday bar crowd, this Saturday was a packed dining room and quieter bar. Excellent return visit. We'll definitely be back.

As soon as you walk in, you will notice the classy, chic décor of the dining area; it gives off old Hollywood vibes. The seating is tight and the restaurant is on the smaller side, so I recommend making a reservation as it can get busy. The hostesses and servers are friendly, attentive, and personable. I always end up having good conversations with my server haha. As soon as I sit down, I'm already in a good mood because their complimentary bread served with olive oil and butter is to die for! During all of my past visits, I've never been disappointed with a dish. They have specials so there's always something new to try on the menu. Just a heads up, they are BYOB! These are some of my personal favorites: -Chicken Francese ($23.95) - The chicken cutlet is so tender, and the chefs get the francese sauce just right. It's a perfect balance of white wine, lemon, butter, and egg. You have the option of adding one free side: (1) potatoes and vegetables OR (2) pasta (angel hair, penne, rigatoni). -Pasta Limon ($31.95) - HEAVENLY... This dish consists of angel hair pasta in a creamy sauce that's a combination of lemon, parmesan, and butter. It comes with chicken and shrimp. -Fig di Sicilia Pizza ($17.95) - This has always been my #1 favorite appetizer, but sometimes it tastes better than other days. When it's made to my liking, it's basically a thin flatbread topped with mozzarella, fig marmalade, prosciutto, and arugula. This appetizer is the reason why I started eating figs LOL -Cannoli - These are HUGE and their ricotta filling is absolutely delicious! I have to roll myself out the door after eating here! Good thing I work out.

Foremost, the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere with lots of greenery and elegant lighting. Our waiter provided top tier service throughout the night. The appetizers we ordered were perfect shareable bites and so delicious. The homemade focaccia was light and crispy. Perfectly toasted! This comes at the start of your meal for all of the tables. I loved the fried calamari, burrata and prosciutto, and the pear salad. I was most intrigued with the mussel flatbread appetizer. It was topped with a light buttery sauce and garlic. Very good! The meatballs were also a standout for me. In addition to an amazing start to my meal, I loved the cocktail options. From various spritz choices to Negronis, you can tell the cocktail menu was carefully crafted. Verana is known for the best chicken parmigiana. Not only did this dish deliver, but the portion size was unreal. Some of my dining party finished it. However, I have amazing leftovers for today. You have an option to get a side of homemade pasta. I went with the spaghetti. All pasta dishes are made from scratch. Other honorable mentions include the pasta normica and bolognese. Moving on to the sweet dessert options! The cappuccino's had a nice and bold coffee flavor. The pistachio gelato and apple tart were music to my ears! So fresh and really hits any sweet tooth. The tiramisu had a nice pairing of coffee flavor and cinnamon. My first dining experience at Verana will definitely not be my last. I can't stop talking about all of the incredible dishes that my family and I tried. Thank you Verana for an incredible meal!

The Food & Atmosphere If you are looking for a good meal, the food here is delicious. However, if you are a purist seeking a truly authentic Italian culinary experience, this likely won't hit the mark for you. The menu leans more toward standard Italian-American fare rather than regional specialties. Additionally, the decor feels a bit tired and could definitely use a modern refresh to match the price point. Service & Logistics The highlight of the evening was easily the service. The wait staff is incredibly courteous, professional, and attentive. A special shout-out to Jimmy, who went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Another major plus for this North Jersey location is the parking; there is plenty of space, making the arrival and departure completely stress-free.

Being that it was on a Thursday barely anybody was inside and that was fine with me. I seen they had a pear drink and it was great and I had 2 of them. By the way pears are my favorite fruit of all time. For appetizer we had to get the calamari and it was delicious. For dinner for me I had pork cheeks and it was so fucking food and buttery tender. It came on top of creamy polenta and they were delicious. For dessert I had I had to the pb&j cannolis. That's the name reason I wanted to try this restaurant. I plan on going back real soon for the same thing but try a dessert for research purposes. Peace out .

With a show-stopping corner location on Jefferson Avenue in the heart of downtown Westwood, this…read moreestablishment has been on my bucket list. The reservation was easily made with Resy. Upon arrival at Osteria Crescendo to celebrate my milestone birthday as first-timers, my partner and I were greeted by the staff. The space was split in two: one side is a bar, and the other is its pristine dining room filled with details such as white marble tabletops and glasses reminiscent of Italian craftsmanship. We were led to a table by the window with a wide range of music playing, evoking a vibe that was posh and modern yet still had its callbacks to the old country. Their menu adopts a more traditional Italian approach with antipasti, primi, secondi, per la tavola ("for the table," for sharing), and dolci. Sampling cocktails and nibbling from their bar menu takes us back to Venice, which, inspired by the Italian tradition of cicchetti (snacks), offered small plates, such as fried calamari and house-cured salumi, meant to be enjoyed with a glass of wine or a cocktail. As an appetizer to share, we opted for the Burrata. For our main meal, we decided on the Lancaster Amish Chicken and Spinach Girelle. We even saved some room for dessert and got their Apple Pie Sundae with vanilla gelato accompanied by a lit candle. Complimentary bread with oil started our meal. The food was delicious, presented well, and generous portions from a well-thought-out menu with a complete balance of flavors. Not only were the noodles freshly made in-house, but they're also perfectly cooked, wonderfully firm to the bite. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, especially our server Chanelle, who made the experience even better. We can recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable meal!

We were able to make a reservation for the same week--a Saturday evening--for a group of 10. We arrived around 6:30, and while it was quiet at first, the space was bigger than I expected yet still felt cozy and intimate. The crowd wasn't particularly young, but everyone was warm and welcoming. We had our table from early evening through the night until the DJ wrapped up after 1 AM. We brought a cake for our celebration, and the staff kindly stored it for us, then sliced and served it beautifully. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere made the whole night special. We'll definitely be back!

Loved the interior of the place, cozy setup, nice bar area and also closed outdoor seating area. We started with bunch of appetizers. The mussels were good, soaked in tasty marinara sauce, but the bread pieces were hard like rock. The grilled octopus was decent, but should been cooked further. Same with the calamari, the outer layer seemed undercooked, would have preferred it to be more crispy. For entree I had the mazon burger. It came with burrata cheese and roasted peppers, two ingredients that do not go well in a burger together, in my opinion. The patty was also extra large and lacked flavor. I was very disappointed. The staff were super nice. They constantly checked on us. Since we were the only ones in the restaurant, the dishes came out quickly. Though the vibe and the service was outstanding, I wasn't impressed with the food here.
