La Verita: New Italian Restaurant in DDO

La Verita caught my eye the second I saw it appear, but tonight was the first time I had the delight to enjoy the treats within. It can be found in the old space once occupied by Java U in the Marche De L'Ouest parking lot, parallel to Madisons NYC. I had the pleasure to dine on the terrace, which was spacious and well designed. It had the art of class and casual just right. The music was loud enough to enjoy, but soft enough to hear others speak. The menu, which I had never seen outside the restaurant was still hidden until I sat. To be honest, this was the one reason I had never been to La Verita. I had no idea what they had to eat, and a search for a website found me hopeless. Finally, the curiosity got me, so I took the plunge for a meal, and learnt the secrets within. As they say at La Verita: "The Truth is out". The reason for a lack of menu, is the Chef, in his genius is using the freshest ingredients from the market, and changing the menu often. The deserts are to die for and homemade. No frozen, defrosted, or Costco packaged delight here--90% are made in-house according to our knowledgeable, friendly and good humored waiter. The main meals themselves were reasonably priced from 22-55 dollars. Appetizers were generous in size and fresh as one could imagine making at home. The Calamari was out of this world, as was the Buffalo cheese and tomato's. The main courses, covered from chicken, to veal, to lamb. Each in our party had there meal to the required tenderness and cooked to perfection. The meals came in fair portions for the money, and on plates lovely decorated with care. This is definitely a place to try out, to impress a business associate, to take a loved one, or celebrate a joyous occasion. Now the truth is out, and I hope everyone knows about one of the best restaurants in the West Island you've yet to dine at.
