Best romantic Italian place east of Houston. A little pricey, but the money we save not having to drive to Houston makes up for it. The food is great. The service is great except on Valentine's Day, when EVERYONE who has a date in Baytown seems to be there and the little place is almost overwelmed. I met my wife there on a blind date, it was a smashing success taking her there, she loved the atmosphere, they kept our glasses filled with wine while we sat there for over 3 hrs. The waitress never rushed us even though we were there a long time talking. For a romantic dinner, try this place out.    [03 Jul 2001 00:18:42]

Excellent
They have a new chef and manager. They seem on track with it all. I had a great time there and would recommend it to everyone, The food was fantastic, true Italian at its best. Service was great! The chef came out to our table to make sure everything was on track, that's Italian!    [16 Apr 2003 00:39:12]

DON'T TRUST A PLACE THAT SERVES KRINKLE CUT FRIES
Trust me. Go to Grotto instead, if you want Italian romance.    [08 Jul 2003 16:03:44]

Great place. You can run into everyone that's anyone in Baytown. The food is very unique and Italian, the Chef, Rob Schmadl, makes you feel welcome and special (and he dresses like a chef!) He's a great asset to the place. All in all The Veranda rates number one with me.    [17 May 2004 14:03:21]
