7/26/15 My husband and I went to La Veranda Cafe for dinner a couple of months ago after watching our friends kids play a little league game at Clayton Community Park up the road. The Warriors game was on and wed already missed the first half to watch the Littles play, so we cozied up to the bar where a small, silent TV sat in front of us. But it was better than nothing. Delicious, delicious bread soon came out. I think one of the types was rosemary - it was my favorite. I ordered the calamari appetizer and Casey had a personal pizza. My calamari was served with warm marinara sauce and it was really flavorful. The pieces themselves were tender and good but the sauce was especially memorable. Id definitely return for more food. Service was good I guess - employees were friendly but probably could have made a little more effort to interact with us since we were already sitting so close to them (and there was some food prep going on in front of us since the kitchen isnt far from the bar either), and its not like we had volume on the TV. Hostess was pleasant but not especially warm or welcoming.

Its Sunday the 11th. We were told the food was better than Pittsburgh La Veranda. Meeting another couple, we arrived and sat ourselves. We were sitting for a good 10 to 15 and didnt receive water until I asked the busboy. They did have a large party and a few other tables but not that busy. When we did have the waitress come to the table we felt like we were putting her out by being there and wanting to place a drink order. Bottom line poor service , food was tasteless and no apology for the service. They need to hirer quality servers and work on customer service. The food isnt as good as the La Veranda in Pittsburgh. Beautiful restaurant outside, but going inside your taking a chance. Good luck.

Very good happy hour for drinks & food.very cozy atmosphere & upscale experience. I would recommend this place for a date. The customer service is on point, quick & friendly. A favorite among the locals here they all know each other. Also there is a small river that runs right along the back parking lot & by the out door balcony.

Great food and excellent service has been my experience at La Veranda on every occasion. As a Clayton resident, it is great to have a local restaurant with good food and lots of fun events! Wine dinners, special events and now, even a happy hour!

One of our favorite local Italian restaurants! Really nice location in the historic downtown park area of Clayton. Shaded seats on outside patio are really nice. Of course, we live the food!

I was there with a male friend and service was slow, but there were a couple large parties at tables, as well as regular customers. We felt very welcome and the food was delicious.
