“Eat good, drink good, live good.” That's the motto at Verdello, a newly minted haven of authentic Italian cuisine nestled on the Upper West Side. Southern Italian fare meets with a dreamy Manhattan energy for a night of swoon-worthy fare, craft cocktails begging to be sipped al fresco, and transportive vibes sure to make you feel the "dolce vita" vibes.
Grab your $79 pulse (a $133 value) for a 3 Course Dinner For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, as well as 2 Cocktails, Glasses of Wine, or Beers.
The custom-built wood-burning Neapolitan crafted pizza-oven is at the heart of the space, firing away as it cooks pies to bubbling perfection. But before you dine, take a seat next to the street-side windows that open to let in fresh breezes, clinking a few Espresso Martinis or Aperol Spritzes before devouring what's next!
The Ribeye is a decadent dream with oyster mushroom confit, not to mention the Branzino repping smoked red pepper coulis, grilled zucchini, rosemary, and garlic.
The award-winning pizzas are obviously show-stopping, namely the Burrata adorned with San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, ‘nduja sausage, Parmigiano, and basil.
The Tiramisu for dessert is a homemade indulgence you cannot miss. Forks at the ready, appetites prepped for an unforgettable festa of flavors...
Formerly Ortomare, Verdello is a fresh face on the Upper West Side. Expect breezy, balmy, seaside sensations as you settle into its gorgeous confines. The shores of Capri and the summer feels of Positano beckon as you settle in for a divine feast of homemade delicacies, each showcasing tradition with a modern twist.
Chef Younes Moslen (Ortomare Ristorante & a "What's Eating Harlem" alum) is at the helm of the kitchen, infusing every bite with blissful ingredients that have been sourced locally for peak freshness. From handmade pasta to the most incredible pizza dough to divinely succulent cuts of meat and seafood, every detail is meticulously executed. The result? Perfect presentations that are equally scrumptious.
At the core of this gem is the familial feel, further upheld by owners (and husband & wife team) Alfredo & Arta Hila. Bringing their expertise from years spent running restaurants in Rome to the discerning palates of New York City, expect nothing but authenticity combined with Big Apple energy that's second to none.
Alfredo honed his craft in the restaurant industry for 15 years both in Italy and New York City. His in-depth knowledge of both cultures has given this spot a unique edge ahead of its peers, combining a passion for Italian cuisine with a deep love for the city this treasure calls home.
From the custom wood fired oven, to the to bright, airy scene, intricate tiling, lush greenery, and windows that retract open completely in the warmer months, the setup at Verdello is the perfect balance of cool & charm. You'll swig glasses of curated wines or find your happy place in a few cocktails as you picture yourself in a Roman or Sicilian cafe far, far away.
Let your troubles fade over a plate of pasta, or let some dazzling seafood wow you with every mouthful - no matter what you devour, it's going to be magnifico...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
