This place is great. We discovered it 5 years ago, and we go back whenever we are in town. The staff is very friendly and knowlegable. I ask for veal piccata every time even though it's not always on the menu and they always accommodate me. The restaurant itself is very small but charming. The only complaint I had was... more

My husband and I recently visited Salem. We absolutely LOVED Bella Verona! What a great cozy location, romantic, and delicious food. We go out a lot in NYC, and this is a favorite place for us... I would definitely recommend making a reservation. more

The food was mostly good and the service was fine. We had Veal which was excellent but the sauce for the side pasta tasted like it came from a jar. My biggest complaint is the place is very small and they squeeze you in to an uncomfortable point. We had to get up to allow other people access to their... more

We decided to try this restaurant out as we just moved here and wanted to try a new restaurant. Yes, the staff was helpful and nice, but the seats were tiny and it was very cramped. I was glad to be there before more people showed up. As to the food - disgusting. I would call my meat a "mystery"... more

We have been going to Bella Verona upon each and every visit to Salem. We travel to Salem four times every year. Bella Verona has the best fish entrees, appetizers, and drinks. The service is always outstanding as well. The restaurant is cozy and intimate for a romantic evening or an evening with children. This restaurant is a must to... more

I've been here twice with my husband due to locals telling us they love the place. It is true that the ambiance is fantastic-- a little Italian restaurant with small tables, etc. However, the dishes we ordered, appetizers and main courses for both visits were all disappointing. The wines were *very* marked-up as well. (My advice is to drink wine... more

We ended up at Bella Verona by chance rather than plan--it is one of the few restaurants in town that is open on Monday night. However, it turned out to be a happy chance and our meal was very enjoyable! Located in a tiny storefront across the street from the Hawthorne Hotel, and decorated in an "old world" Northern Italian... more

Traveling to Salem and and looking for a somewhat hidden gem? Like places with delicious food and great atmosphere that rely on word of mouth? This is your spot. The place is tiny and the portions aren't huge (go to Vinnie T's if you need half a tray of bland lasagna to feel full) but the experience can't be beat... more

The perfect place for a date or to meet another couple for dinner. The portions may not be huge (some Italian restuarants tend to overdue it on the pasta), but the meals were perfect and the waitstaff is exceptional. Nice wine selection too. more
