Recently went here for a special occasion. The food is absolutely delicious! Everything I ate was fantastic from appetiser, main course to dessert! The service was also wonderful! Looking forward to dining there again in the very near future.

Added to my list about a year ago. I'm always looking for a good Italian restaurant. I didn't realize it was a converted house, so when I turned on the road, I thought my directions may be wrong. I'm sure all the outside porch dinig is amazing during warmer months. I was able to dine by the fire. I choose items from the specials menu. Started with baratta with roasted red pepper and prosciutto. The salty grilled and chilled combo was a winner. Next was salad with housemate balsamic vinegarette. The dreasing made it! Thick, creamy and perfect. Very different, in a good way, from normal vinegarette. Any time I go for Italian, I want pasta. The homemade lobster and crab ravioli with vodka sauce and shrimp was delectable! I couldn't tell I was eating a seafood dish at all. AND I got my own bowl of freah grated parmesan cheese. The bottle of wine and complimentary homemade Sambuca also hit the spot. I tasted the canolli but saved most for breakfast. Not too sweet and very light. Service was excellent. Great visit!

Some of the best Italian food I have ever had and I am Italian so I know. Bread and dipping oil slapped. Pasta sauce is fabulous. Meal comes with salad, was an unexpected surprise. Waiter remembers about 20 specials which was impressive. Wait till you see the dessert tray. Whoa whoa wee wa.

We've eaten here a few times and it's always been great. Tonight we celebrated my Mom's 70th birthday and we couldn't have asked for a better event. The food was delicious, the service was great, the room for our party was comfy and lovely. We'd recommend this to anyone thinking about having an event in Monroe!

My husband and I had a special occasion at La Vera Cucina . We are so happy that we chose La Vera Cucina. The owner, Beka, was outstanding, very hilarious, professional, and whatever you needed, he took care of it. We also rented a flower wall for our special occasion, and we had it set up near the bar area . We are so happy how things turned out. Beka was very understanding, including his employees, and helped us rearrange the room for the gift and prize table . My husband and I decided to do the 2nd party menu package. Everything was very delicious from the bread , with the sauce , the Penna Vodka pasta , salad the entrees, and the dessert. We also appreciated not being rushed out of the restaurant. We all had enough time to do everything. We highly recommend anyone coming here and having your event here and especially just coming here and having lunch or dinner. Support small businesses, and you won't regret it. Anything you get is very delicious. Thank you so much, Beka, and his staff for making our day extra special.
