We had a wonderful Italian dinner here last weekend. The Oysters Rockefeller were the best I'm ever had, and my Veal Marsala with Shitake Mushrooms was tender and elegant. We will definitely be back next time we visit Ft Bragg.Parking: Parking is on the street, but not too hard to find, within one black, even on Saturday night.

We spent a rainy weekend in Mendocino, so the high light was dinner at Cucina Verona in Fort Bragg. My husband and I were so pleased! It was his birthday and we had a wonderful dinner, Crab cakes, Caesar salad, Linguine and Clams for me, and Veal Marsala for my husband. All perfectly done and delicious! The portions are huge! I have to mention the very attentive server named John who took care of all our needs. Everything felt so special. It is definitely a must try when in the area!

Cucina Verona is an absolute delight! You see their attention to detail in everything they serve, right down to the garnish in your cocktail (which are delicious!). Over the years, I’ve enjoyed dining there with family, friends, and even alone when I needed a special treat. It’s a restaurant with a lot of heart. I love it, and so will you. Cheers!

What an amazing place!The staff is amazing - the owner (I think) was there he was one of the warmest persons I've seen. The place is very cute in Fort Bragg right across the skunk train depot.Looks like this restaurant takes reservations. The folks with reservation were seated inside and we were seated in the main entry room with live music. The live music was very nice as well. The owner let us change diaper for our 1 year old in a warm place inside the restaurant which we appreciated. He also offered by wife a nice guava drink.I got the pizza piemonte (Mushroom, Fresh Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, Salsa Pomodoro, Fresh Basil), and my wife got the pesto primavera gnocchi (Snap Peas, Spinach, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Pine Nuts, and Pecorino Romano). Both of these dishes were beyond delicious and fresh. We gave our 1 year old a lot of the gnocchi and she enjoyed it as well. The complimentary bread and butter was delicious too.This is a casual fine dining place that is reasonably priced and has a cute ambience. If you are in Mendocino, or Fort Bragg don't miss out on this amazing gem.P.S: The locals love this place! We saw a lot of very friendly and nice locals spend the evening on Jan-15th here!

The best Italian food I have ever had! The scallops were perfectly seared and the pasta was to die for! Ella was very attentive even though the place was packed at the time. This restaurant alone is worth the drive to Fort Bragg!! Will eat here every time we visit the area.

Great hidden Italian restaurant in Fort Bragg. All the pasta dishes were perfect. They have an outside venue with heaters and music almost every night. I had Belgian chocolate ice cream with espresso for dessert. Delicious.

Loved this place! The staff were super helpful and friendly, and the atmosphere is unique. We were seated on the bar side, with TVs showing sports and classic Italian movies. There was live piano music performed by a young-at-heart lady who took requests. The food surpassed my expectations. I had the pesto gnocchi and can't wait to try other dishes!

We went late on a Saturday, there was live music, a woman who alternated between an accordion and piano. The staff was extremely friendly and our service was fast. I got the chicken picotta, the chicken was cooked just right and the sauce was lemony and the vegetables were perfect. I definitely recommend!

Very good homemade bread and very good staff. We had the lasagna and the cannelloni with chicken, served with sides of vegetables. Both were good. It's a nice, quiet place in a nice location.

We had a great time here. The atmosphere is lovely and there was live piano the night that we had dinner. The entire staff was wonderful. We didn't have a reservation, but we're seated right away. John was very kind, attentive, and fast. The food was amazing! I don't have enough words to say how delicious the gnocchi contadina was. Luke took over our table and was also so friendly and attentive. An exceptional Italian experience, we felt like family. My only regret is that we weren't able to stay for brunch on Saturday!Kid-friendliness: We were really treated like family. The atmosphere is classy and cozy, but so welcoming that you feel very at ease dining as a family.

We chose Cucina Verona for our final dinner in Fort Bragg, and what a delight it was. We opted for the heated patio and just a table away from the live music, the Seaside String Sisters. We started with the Artichoke Buschetta and two glasses of a local Pinot Noir. I went with the Gnocchi alla Contedina, and my partner chose the Lasagna al Forno. For dessert, we went with the canoli and the flour-less chocolate tart. Everything we ordered was divine. The Cucina Verona staff were all very attentive and friendly. An absolute delight of an experience.
