    Food was below average. We really wanted to love it. Overcooked huge portions. The "dessert" was especially disappointing: a HUGE pizza crust with cooked hot berries on top. The 14th most favorite pizza place in CT . :-)

    Vero – Middletown’s Must-Visit Italian Hidden Gem If you haven't made a reservation at Vero yet, put it at the top of your list. Tucked conveniently into a plaza with effortless parking, this spot is an absolute local treasure that delivers an unforgettable dining experience from the moment you step through the door. Award-Winning Reputation: It’s no surprise they’ve been named a Connecticut Magazine Readers' Choice winner and recognized as one of the best in the area by the Hartford Courant. Warm, Flawless Service: The staff makes you feel instantly welcome, delivering the kind of attentive, top-tier service that turns a regular night out into a truly special occasion. Standout Italian Classics: The menu is wonderfully extensive, offering incredible variety for every palate. The Chicken Saltimbocca is a absolute must-order—tender, rich, and utterly fabulous. Famous Connecticut Crust: Don't let the menu fool you—their "small" pizza is surprisingly generous, baked to a crisp, perfect finish. It takes just one bite to understand why Vero rightfully earned its spot as #14 on the official Connecticut Pizza Trail. The sheer depth of their menu will have you planning your next visit before the main course is even finished. Do yourself a favor, book a table, and get ready to discover your new favorite restaurant.
