Review posted 02/26/05

Villa Verone - fine Italian food in Geneva, IL...Last Friday night, Lauren and I decided that we would leave our own kitchen behind and use one of the gift certificates that we had attained from Restaurant.com for a dinner from someone else’s kitchen.  Since we had been thinking about going back to Villa Verona and we had a gift certificate, we both thought that it sounded like a plan.

We had not made a reservation, so I had expected there to be a wait.  It was a beautiful and warm, late summer evening and the patio was open.  Too bad there isn’t a small area outside for cocktails…  The tables and ambience looked to be just the ticket, so we entered and waited for the hostess.  We asked if we could be seated outside.  The reply was that “I don’t have any tables right now, but if you would like to have a seat in the bar, it should only be a few minutes.”  Climbing the stairs to the bar, I commented that I had seen several empty tables outside.  Perhaps they were reserved…  No big deal.  The bar was nearly empty, save for a couple seated on the far end.  I was surprised that the bar was so empty.  We ordered two Grey Goose on the rocks and I watched as the bartender served our drinks and then flirted passionately with one of the waitresses.  This did not seem the place for such activity…

The drinks were $7 a pop; the glasses at least seemed a little larger than I remembered from our last visit.  After a short wait – perhaps 15-20 minutes – we were escorted to the patio and seated at a table for two.  The waitress soon approached and asked if we would like our drinks freshened.  I caved.  When she returned, we were apprised of the evening’s appetizer specials...
