Our Story: A Dream in the Making
The Journey to Great Neck More than ten years ago, Inna and Marian arrived from Ukraine with big dreams and an even bigger love for food. Like many families, they started fresh in a new country, but they brought their traditions and a deep-rooted work ethic with them. Maryan always had one specific dream: to open his own restaurant where he could share the flavors he loved with his new community.
Built on Hard Work For years, Marian worked tirelessly, learning every side of the business. The Veranda Trattoria isn't just a business; it’s the result of years of grit and a father's promise to his family.
A True Family Affair Today, The Veranda is a family home away from home. You’ll often see Inna managing the warm atmosphere, and our girls, Madison and Emily, growing up alongside the restaurant, we invite you to join our family table.
Homemade with Love We believe that food should be honest. That’s why we make our pasta in-house every day and prepare our sauces from scratch. We cook for you the same way we cook for our own girls at home. Whether you're here for a quick bowl of pasta or a long evening with a glass of Italian wine, welcome to our family table!
