We went to at Verona on a Saturday night, as we were being seated, the hostess complained to us that the place was near empty because of a football game in town. This is true of any place in Tucson when there is a game, and, do I care? I thought we would get good service. We did get our water immediately and my husband ordered a glass of wine which came promptly. Then the long wait to have our order taken. Our wait person, who I believe was the owner Mel, spent an inordinate amount of time with the people at the next table who came in after us, maybe they were regulars. Placed our orders, then another long wait. While we were waiting the live singer's music was so loud we could barely have a normal conversation. \r

After the salad, the entree finally arrived and at first glance I could tell this was not going to be good. The rice pilaf looked like it had been turned out of a 1 cup measuring cup, formed and stuck together, no long grain rice visible, no flavor. The veal parmesan sauce looked like it has sat under a heat lamp for a couple of hours. The excessive breading, sauce and cheese hit the itsy bitsy piece of veal that was supposed to be under it, and when I did find the veal, it had the texture of a piece of top round steak. The veggies were great, nice and crisp, all this for $26.00. \r

My husband ordered the special, veal shank; it was very tender but a very small portion for the $30.00 charged for it. The linguini ""bed"" was also a very small portion; but the veggies were great!\r
\r
Again, trying to get the wait persons attention to order desert, another challenge. But we did get a cannoli ordered to the tune of $7.00, I thought it would be good sized but it was the size of the one's we have bought at Nadine's bakery for $2.50. (Nadines is great, go there for Cannoli's).\r
\r
Our tab before tax was $74.00, no way worth it! Next time I’ll go to Black Angus then Nadine’s for dessert. \r
Pros: None I can think of
Cons: Way too expensive for what you get
