Veranda Italian - Paralimni

Started off bad with a terrible Martini. Asked extra dry, they served me what seemed like a glass of vermouth. I had the rib-eye steak. Server and cook would not let me get any less than Medium doneness… steak was over cooked and pretty tasteless with an average salad as a side. Wife had octopus black linguine. Octopus was over cooked. Only reason I’m not giving 1 star is because my wife’s appetizer was good, seafood soup. There are honestly some much better places to go. Way too expensive for what you get

Prior to covid I have been to Cyprus 4 times and have always loved this restaurant. This has always been one of mine my husbands favourite restaurants, the food service has always been amazing. This is our 1st visit to Cyprus after covid and I was looking forward to going to one of favorite restaurants with our 16 month old daughter. When we arrived we were disappointed to be turned away without a prior reservation (never made a reservation before) as the restaurant was only half full . I understand that reservations are required and covid has changed the hospitality industry massively. The waitress shoed us out the door telling us to come back tommorow without actually offering to make us a reservation. I would highly recommend to avoid this restaurant without prior booking good look with the hostile attitude.

I read the reviews before and saw that people say the pizza has no or very little tomato sauce so I ordered with extra tomato sauce on my margarita. When I got it it was literally just bread and cheese and no taste. The other food around me looked very good I have to say so Im sure thats better, however, DONT ORDER PIZZA HERE

I ordered a cheese and tomato pizza tasteless and cheese too thick making it taste like rubber... Out of the 5 tables including ours 3 had problems with the food mainly the mains. All was left and sent back to kitchen for a refund. If you want a service do not come here as the waitresses will never come over and hard to get the attention even when the restaurant is empty.

Pizza not good taste like rubber and no tomato puree so do not order, lasagne was nice. Also make sure you ask when you order drinks as we was charged more for a soft drink in a glass bottle which was not mentioned on the menu or by the waitress and came in a 250ml bottle and was charged as a large drink because it came in a glass bottle. When paying the lady pulled the money from in front of us. I would not recommend.
