    Food as service were really good. We had a salad and veal Marsala and chicken Marsala. Both very good.

    My wife and I had dinner at Verde on a Saturday night. It was the first time we'd been here in over 10 years. This is a small restaurant on Rt 53 in Morris Plains. It has the feel of a real local place. The food here was fine. We split a salad and had entrees of Veal Sorrentino and Shrimp Fra Diavolo. For dessert, we split a Tiramisu and had cappuccinos. While this may not be our favorite Italian restaurant, we had no complaints. The food was good, especially the dessert. If you're coming here on a Saturday night, I'd suggest making a reservation as it was crowded when we left. Also, bring a bottle of wine since it's a BYOB.

    Short Ribs

    Excellent Italian BYOB. Attended a workers retirement party. Excellent appetizers (crab cakes, calamari. On main menu Short Ribs were outstanding. Very Courteous staff! Will definitely go back.

    Chicken parm
    Sara B.

    Verde was delicious! I ordered some takeout for my husband's birthday and was super pleased with everything. It's a bit pricey, so I don't think I'd order takeout from here ordinarly, but for a special occasion it definitely fit the bill. We started out with cesar salad which came with a generous portion, and lots of shaved fresh parm which is always what I want and need on my cesar. Our order also came with a loaf of fresh Italian bread. For mains we shared chicken parm and the pesto pasta with crabmeat and shrimp. The chicken parm came with two very large pieces. The red sauce was tasty but I do wish there was more cheese on the parm. The pesto pasta was incredibly rich and saucy. There was a generous amount of both crabmeat and shrimp, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. Because it's a bit pricey I'd probably opt to dine in for future visits. These dishes (especially the pesto pasta) didn't travel as well as I would've hoped. Something so creamy and decadent should be enjoyed fresh and hot! I'm looking forward to that next time.

    On a little sleepy back road, nestled in the bucolic hollow of Morris Plains is Verdi. -ver- comes from Latin, where it has the meaning "true; truth. '' This meaning is found in such words as: veracious, veracity, verify, verily, verisimilitude, veritably, verity. Verily I say unto thee: eat here. Bring your own vino and they have everything else for a fine cozy night out. This Verdi is neither a composer nor another word for green. It's a synonym for dining tranquility. Eating in peace sonically while dining deliciously. This place built a hundred gyms! After a rather unpleasant experience an hour before at a far less chic and civilized eatery (captured in another review), I played Google roulette and came here. A quiet spotless hardwood floor with spaces between tables so all could be sufficiently private yet together with fellow diners. I know you're thinking "what's a loud floor?" But I was floored nonetheless how breathlessly discrete it was and with a good number of civilized diners. The lilt of Sinatra in the background was a lovely grace note. Furniture and sound, Savvy? How was the chow?! Penne with vodka sauce - and I asked if I could get the sausage crumbled or cut and the server leapt at the opportunity to provide exactly what my heart's stomach desired. It was a feast for the senses. A mundane choice was made with flare. The cook went out of his way to crumble the sausage and I appreciated that gesture alone greatly. No yelling from the kitchen of "who crumbles sausage?! Is this guy special?!?" That's because I get the verde real sense every customer Is special to them. Genuinely. And cannoli the size of a sugar canoe swaddled in the dove soft clouds of frosting and foam!! A Capachino that you nearly wanted to eat it looked so delectable. And everyone who served me was polite, discrete, kind and accompanying and I felt like I found a private club for peaceful eating and restful transcendence group. What a soft delight in this hard world.

    Lamb Oso Bucco
    Joseph Z.

    Service... amazing Accommodating! Food is home style which may not be for everyone, but I loved it BYOB!!! NOW THE BEST PART!!!! The price in this economy is a stupid steal!!! I got x1 special appetizer of lobster ravioli, seafood salad (wasn't the best, but good/ doable), and a pasta for appetizers... a lamb osso bucco and short ribs for dinner, dessert for 2 and coffee for $130. I'll do it again in a heartbeat. Loved the atmosphere... not too noisy everything was great. They don't rush me which I love and the service is amazing. There was a nice balance of removing finished plates, but not advacing the dinner too fast. Loved the pace, food, and service. Will be back, you can count on that.... This time with BYOB

    Panko crusted meatball appetizer
    Ed G.

    Restaurant was highly recommended by friends of ours who we gathered with for dinner. Reservations a must if coming here. The place is not very big in space but they make up for it with the quality of their dishes. The menu is simple and offers a variety of meals that are pleasing to the palate. Place is BYOB and the staff will provide an ice bucket on a pedestal for any wines or beers you may want to keep cold. We were six for dinner and appetizers were ordered to share. Panko crusted meatballs and fried calamari. The apps were delicious as well as our meals. Dinners consisted of a chicken ala verde, two Branzino francaise and Chilean sea bass with a mango chutney drizzle. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we even made room for dessert.

    Seafood salad
    Yesenia R.

    I had been looking for some good gnocchi and Yelp lead me here! We arrived right when they opened and were greeted by an amazing waiter. To start off I ordered the seafood salad and my friend the Cesar salad. I usually LOVE Italian seafood salad because the mix of citrus and oil blends perfectly with the onions and tomatoes, but this one was super bland and no matter how much salt and pepper I poured it lacked flavor. Things did make a turn for the best during my entrée. I have been visiting Italian restaurants in search of some amazing gnocchi I had while on vacation and I found it here. The Gnocchi was served in a red meat sauce with a little cream. It was the perfect!. My friends chicken francese was not on the other hand. It was very eggy and smelled weird. For dessert it took another turn for greatness with an amazing Tiramisu (I usually hate this dessert), but theirs was amazing and not super strong like the ones I had before and the Cannoli was also good. To go I ordered the chicken parm for my boyfriend and the red sauce was also really good. They offer free parking, and the staff was amazing. One thing that did throw we off was their woman's restroom. They should really look into upgrading because it was kind of nasty. I would definitely go back for the entrée and dessert.

    We're looking for a location to hold my daughter's 50th birthday party. Do you do private parties?

    There was a private party in the back of the dining room when we were there. I would call to inquire, it would depend on how many persons in your party.

    Are they open on Christmas Eve?

    Open Table shows reservation availability on 12/24.

For example, I order a glass of wine upon sitting down. About 10 minutes later, when I realized it still hadn't been brought over despite the few number of tables, I went to get the glass at the bar myself. They were pleasant. For example, the manager offered us a complimentary arancini appetizer when we hadn't been able to decide between that and the meatballs. However, neither was anything to write home about. In the same in, they offered us complimentary sundaes for our birthday (it was the same birthday for the both is us). But it was awkward because my friend had already ordered a bread pudding dessert, which was also bright out... Finally, the food overall wasn't impressive. The chicken parm came with spaghetti that looked more like a thick soup than pasta and sauce. And while the chicken itself was fine, the preparation didn't have a lot of taste. All in all, this is a place you can skip and find better Italian in nearby places

They actually didn't have just plain grilled salmon on the menu, but they were able to accommodate. Of course, the quality was not extremely great. Salmon was a bit oily, but tasted fine. Brocolli was cooked nicely with garlic and oil. Spaghetti had the same garlic and oil and it was very tasty. This is a nice option when you don't mind an average meal with reasonable prices.
