At Verdicchio Restaurant & Wine Cellar, we are more than just a dining destination – we are the perfect pairing of Mediterranean cuisine and wine culture. Our name is inspired by the Verdicchio grape, a versatile white wine grape primarily grown in the charming Marche region of Italy. The name Verdicchio, derived from verde (meaning “green”), reflects the subtle green-yellow hue of wines crafted from this exceptional grape.
Our mission is simple: we aim to please. From the moment you step through our doors, we want every customer to feel the complete Verdicchio experience – one that leaves a lasting impression of warmth, quality, and exceptional service.
