Verona Ristorante Italiano, a new BYOB restaurant in Downtown Haddonfield New Jersey, bringing modern renditions of classic Southern Italian and Sicilian cuisine. The establishment will offer dinner 7 days a week. The second floor will serve as a special events or conference room. Under the direction of the Bodi family, the establishment brings the love of food and people.

Verona BYOB will fill a few niches in downtown Haddonfield: a fine dining restaurant for date nights, and an affordable, cloth-napkin, Italian restaurant.

Chef’s plan is to create seasonal dishes that rotate through different Italian regional cuisines as fresh ingredients are available. Verona will open with a focus on Sicilian dishes, and then switch to Piedmontese over the winter. Ingredients will be locally sourced, complemented with certain imported delicacies.

Verona, city of love. There is a good reason for this name and not for nothing a man called William Shakespeare set his masterpiece ”Romeo and Juliet” in this little gem of a city.
