Varanese never disappoints! Even with our large party on Oaks night! Our out of town guests continued to tell us how much they enjoyed their meals!! Wonderful service and value!

Varanese is one of my husband and I's favorite places to eat in town. They use locally grown ingredients and the food is always fresh. Priced well for the quality. There are always daily specials based on what is fresh and in-season. Every time we have dined there the owner comes out and greets the diners and asks how the... More

There is something for everyone here: large bar selection (including a thoughtful beer list), apps/dinner are always utilizing in-season local produce, and with our proximity to UPS hub the chef seems to be an expert on fish from hawaii that were swimming yesterday! However, nothing beats the service. They will treat you as family. With so many places going in/out... More

The atmosphere was romantic, the food was delicious and the staff was amazing! They took care of us in every way and we were there for three hours having a leisurely meal. The food... More

I chose to dine at this restaurant based on the dessert menu, and the only only thing I ate that exceeded my expectations was the bread pudding. It was absolutely fantastic. As far as dinner was concerned, everything else (food, service, atmosphere) was good, but nothing really wowed me. My advice is to try it, but definitely save room for... More

Never thought I really cared for brussel sprouts, but we got an order to share as an appetizer and they were FABULOUS! Everyone agreed and I saw surrounding tables ordering them as well. All of the food we ordered was fabulous and the service was top notch! It was nice out, so the sliding glass doors were open, which added... More

Varanese has been my pick on multiple occasions for a group meal for 8 or so friends. The atmosphere is fun with great energy - love the live music - but it's still intimate enough that you can enjoy conversation with your tablemates. The menu variety makes it appealing to everyone and the staff are always knowledgeable, friendly and very... More
