Our server Blake took such amazing care of us tonight! My mother has a gluten allergy, and he made sure to accommodate to her and any other requests my family had. Her meal took longer than expected to come out, so their manager came to apologize and took it completely off the bill! Very professional establishment with great staff. Such an enjoyable experience. Thank you Blake!

I have had a peanut/tree nut allergy my whole life. Therefore, when going out to eat, I always have to ask about cross contamination and the type of oil the restaurant cooks in. Most places now a days cook in canola or vegetable oil, which is great! However, within this past month though, I have been to two very popular and well established restaurants in Macomb County that still cooked with peanut oil. I was extremely disappointed that restaurants in 2024 are not accommodating to the most common food allergy. Going out to eat with food allergies and dietary restrictions as well has always been difficult for me.
Today, I went to Verona Inspired Italian for dinner and I was blown away because the entire restaurant is peanut, tree nut, and sesame free!! Out of my 22 years of living, I have never been to a peanut/ tree nut free restaurant in Michigan! Not to mention, their menu also contained a lot of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Personally, I am vegetarian and I loved the large variety of options because I’m so used to “slim pickings” at other restaurants.
Thank you so much Verona for being so accommodating to all! The food was absolutely delicious and such large portions were served. In addition, the service, drinks, and atmosphere were amazing! We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend!
We had gone to Filippas for so many years and always enjoyed the food and options for anyone in our group. We went about 2 years ago after they had changed ownership (but had not really rebranded). While the food and service was good, the menu was incredibly limited, maybe a half dozen lunch options, and nothing from the old menu existed. No lunch appetizers, no cup of soup option, and while I appreciate the chef's preparation of our meals, it was not what we expected when going to Filippas, and not what we wanted when we chose Filippas. Needless to say, we decided not to go back. Well, today we had a mall group of 4 to take to lunch, checked online and saw the new menu and decided to try again. New menu is not an overwhelming book of 6+ pages like many years ago, but it had the right "old" favorites and some welcome new options. No one was disappointed. The food was really good, selection provided something for every taste (very accommodating for a gluten free guest and a dairy free guest) and, and service was great!! Our server was very friendly, provided several recommendations, and was prompt with everything. Food came out hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. So glad we went back to try again, we are looking forward to visiting often! Might even have to go back tomorrow!!
Excellent staff, love listening to their banter as they work. Most of them know a lot of their customers well and know what they are going to want before they even ask.My food was excellent, only funny thing was I told the waitress I'd just had to start eliminating gluten from my diet, yet qhen she brought out my soup she included the most beautiful roll with it. She made it difficult not to cave to temptation!
While I was out I stopped here and picked up take-out on a whim. Now I will be driving 45 minutes just to eat at this place. Every since thing about this place is homemade. The pasta is delicious, the sauce is creamy, the rolls are crispy and glutenous, the salad is fresh, the dessert is refreshing. More people need to come here, hands down.
