“ Excellent food excellent service... highly recommended!!! I've been dining at Verucchis for over 50 years !!! It's amazing!!! ”
“ My work recently had Verucchi's catered in and while I don't eat chicken on the bone, I really enjoyed their salad, homemade dressings and pasta with cheese and meat sauce. Mostaccioli is a simple dish, but also easy to mess up by overcooking the pasta, making a sweet sauce or being chintzy with the cheese, meat or sauce. Verucchi's was perfectly balanced and delicious. I haven't been to the restaurant, but I see they have chicken piccata on the menu and I can't wait to try it. If you're in Spring Valley, make a reservation and try them out. They're always busy! ”
“ To be honest I thought this was a different restaurant. Honest mistakes paid off. This restaurant has been in business since 1913, same family. A business that has been around for over 100 years must be doing something right. Wow, my guest and I were impressed. We have a special category, would we come back? We live 2 hours away, the answer is yes. We put our names on the wait list and went to the bar to wait. The bartender John was so welcoming, we decided to eat in the bar. The restaurant was very busy. The food was outstanding. Did not take a picture of their menu, but their website has the menu. A definite must visit when in Central Illinois. ”
“ This place is a family owned and operated gem. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Everything is homemade out of quality ingredients with care. Everythig on the menu is excellent! The traditional spaghetti and meatballs is at the very pinnacle of Italian food in this country, simply the finest anywhere. The service is prompt and courteous, by experienced staff, and the owners are the managers present. I can not say enough about the quality of the fare at this establishment, none better anywhere! ”
“ We went last weekend and my husband had chicken and I had mammas pasta. The bread and real butter, salads, dressings and food were all amazing! The ambiance and service was just the tip of the icing! It was amazing ! For birthdays, they play a piano birthday song and everyone joins in. It's absolutely amazing ! ”
“ This is my date night place. Love the sun-dried chicken pasta. And their merlo is a perfect match. Love the atmosphere and location. ”
“ Amazing food. Quality of the pasta and seafood is amazing. Drinks are really good as well. We also sampled appetizers which were so yummy. Will be back for sure. Only thing dissatisfying was the desserts, not very good at all so I would skip it ”
“ Verucchis is without a doubt the best restaurant in the area. Great service, a simple old-fashioned ambience and an extensive menu, serving up the wonderful, delicious food. Also a great selection of wines. Waitresses are knowledgable, efficient and always friendly. Soothing background music. ALL dishes are superb but I lean to the chicken piccata, which is the best I have ever had. But ALL menu possibilities are wonderful, along with appetizers. Better have reservations because Verucchis is always busy and for good reason -- it the just the absolute best. We try to get there as often as possible. A great dining experience. ”
“ Very good food and Ambiance. For the area this Italian restaurant it's great and service was friendly and attentive. Good date night place. ”
