Veal Parmesan, at Vera Roma in Torrington, CT.
Tom D.

Dined at Vera Roma recently with the wife, we were both 1st Timers. We started off with the zucchini appetizer. The dish came with some kind of red dipping sauce, it was quite spicy, borderline overwhelming. I think a ranch type dressing for dipping would have went better with this appetizer, just my opinion. For our meals, I had the veal parmesan and my wife had the chicken parmesan. Food was decent, my biggest complaint was the portion size though, it was lacking a bit. We also had a cannoli for dessert, it was tasty, we both liked it. Service was excellent, our server was very friendly and attentive. My wife also enjoyed her chocolate martini from the bar. Since Vera Roma is not too far from us, we'd give them a 2nd go, I'm thinking the lunch menu. Will write an update if that happens.

My First time here so walking in was very welcoming, the gentlemen brought us to our table and flipped the glasses to fill our cups with freezing cold water which I loved. I ordered a expresso-tinni with Baileys, which wasn't too over powering. We had a large crowd with us and the server's were very polite and up beat, the food was very good. We started with a appetizer zucchini chips with ranch dressing on the side so delicious, then everyone ordered a different dish and we were all pleased and happy. What I for got to take a picture of was the desserts, so this is how we ranked them.. 1. Carrot Cake so delicious 2. Tiramisu Cake 3. Canolli 4. Chocolate Mousse Cake 5. Key Lime We put the key lime last because the person who ordered it didn't want to share lol they gobbled it up before anyone could try it. This was a beautiful little place, the owners to Server's were extremely Wonderful, it's not a place where we will visit a lot but when we plan a special date night we would like to come back.

This spot is such a gem! I would come back in a heart beat!…read more Food: every meal comes with either a soup or salad (which is so great)! I really enjoyed the manicotti! The sauce and the filling were so delicious! Portion sizes are generous. The risotto was also incredible Service: great service! They are very kind and attentive Ambiance: I loved the vibe and how big this place is! It would be a great place to host events Price: very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes

I want in for lunch today, knowing there was a new owner, and I hadn't had a chance to get in there…read moresince then. I held my breath walking in the door, hoping to see the same beautiful nostalgic decor from decades past. To my delight, it looked beautifully the same, but soneobw better! There was beautiful music playing at just the right volume... Frank Sinatra, The Ronettes, and other sweet tunes. Heidi, my server, was excellent. She seems like she has worked there for awhile, and she handled MANY customers/tables with ease and grace. The food was EXCELLENT! I had spaghetti and meatballs. The spaghetti was piping hot, and there was no excess water under the pasta as sometimes happens in other establishments. Also, the price for my abundant, delicious meal, plus a glass of wine, was very reasonable. What a treasure in downtown Torrington, CT... a restaurant that has been open for 100 years! I spoke with a gentleman who, like me, had moved away but then came back to the area... and, like me, was so glad the decor, etc. was still the same! I hope they don't change a thing! ("If it ain't broke, don't fix it!") I will be back, and will be bringing my friends and family. Whay a delight!

"And so please help (To teach your children) Them with your…read moreyouth (What you believe in) They seek the truth Teach your children well" (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young) When was the last time you ate a meal in a high school? Maybe it was at an award dinner for a high school sports team, or at a Boy or Cub Scout dinner? Or maybe it was way back in the day between your history and algebra classes? Well, we had a unique lunch at Oliver's Restaurant. Why unique? It was unique because the restaurant is located within the Oliver Wolcott Technical High School in Torrington, and it is staffed by students. You see, the school's Culinary Arts program trains their students for experience in the food service industry. It's an ambitious program that uses a public restaurant to provide 1,775 hours of learning and training in all phases of restaurant business - from the public facing front of the house to the back-of-house. If the students decide to enter the food service workforce, they leave Oliver's with a fantastic skill set. The teacher is Chef Michael McDowell, and he had a crew of 25 High School Juniors operating in two rooms preparing the salads and sandwiches, grilling the chicken and salmon and steaks, baking the meatballs, preparing the soups, slicing the complimentary bread, waiting the tables, and every possible activity they will see when the food service workforce. Chef Michael was fantastic as he oversaw the operation, offering nonstop commentary and tips to his young staff - "did you offer ketchup with those fries?", "too much oil in that pan", "check on your customers and get off your phones", "where's the dressing on the side?", "put the dressing in a takeout container for the takeout orders, and a ramekin for the diners", etc., etc. Oliver's has a real dining room with an open kitchen, so you can see and hear the entire class. There was a steady stream of takeout orders, and three parents popped in to say hi to their kids. The freshman and sophs in the Culinary Arts program start with the basics -how to sauté things, make salads, and the like. Today's class was all juniors, and that's when they actually start to operate the restaurant under the Chef's guidance. We chatted with Chef Michael, and he said that when they become Seniors, they really run Olivers by themselves. Our lunch was a $3 cup of clam chowder, a $9 turkey BLT, a $14 Salmon Caesar Salad, and a $4 Apple Crostata. The food was very good, check out the generous portion of turkey on the BLT and the half pound slab of perfectly cooked salmon on my salad. And we were amazed when Chef Michael called us at home to get our feedback on the meal and service. What a wonderful experience! We really enjoyed watching the Chef train his staff and watching them execute his instructions. I hope whoever is reading this, goes to the school and supports these young restaurant workers of the future. I know you'll enjoy this unique experience as much as we did. PRO TIP Olivers is open to the public Wednesday to Friday from 10:45 to 12:05, and they ask you to call 860-496-5369 to make a reservation.
