Nice meal!The ambience is super cool - an elevated veranda overseeing a beautiful pool.Ideal for a romantic date, hangout or official meetings with client. You can get your favorite Italian dishes here.Prices on the menu has been updated on their system but not on the menu. Hence instead of paying about 15500 per meal, we paid about 19400 even though they said increase was only 20%.Apart from that, the servers were courteous and nice as they went about their day quietly.I particularly would recommend the blend of juice called Chlorophyll. Very refreshing!!!!I would visit again to enjoy their pizza!

The ambience and the food here was good. The pool side and outdoor setting is covid friendly because we had a farewell party for some colleagues and this was the only suggested place.They have an Italian, Lebanese and Nigerian menu so there are varieties to choose from.Really lovely place.

I like the options of either sitting out or dinning in. comfortable chairs. Very Italian menu, I felt like I was back in Italy, drinks were good too. If wines are your thing, you are in good company, Ask for Terrazas.

Pretty cool spot to have a nice dinner with a DJ playing the right songs. It is situated in a hotel that’s fast becoming the hot spot to be on Friday nights, the poolside is converted into a lounge and there’s a DJ. The meal was so tasty and the drinks were made right.

The food is very delicious but the price is higher than our expectation (10000+ per person is normal)

I was there yesterday and it was so much fun. The food was delicious and the strawberry margarita was lovely. Nice chill spot to enjoy Italian cuisines. They have about 23 different options of pasta if not more. They serve a generous parmesan cheese on the side for you to use as you please. Ordered extra chilli though hahaha. Nigerians love there pepper o.

La Veranda is a very nice space. Its great for a romantic dinner or for a large group. The outdoor space is better for large groups. (We were about 16 in my group).We werent sure how many wed be, but as people arrived, the waiters added more tables and chairs sometimes without being prompted.The food is great although it took a while to get it. Especially when they took the first orders. For subsequent orders, food was on time.If you want to take pictures, its better to stay inside. The outdoor space isnt great for pictures but if you want to smoke, sit there.

We had pizza and some chicken 🍗 tumblings cant remember the exact name. As this was my first time having pizza 🍕 of any form, I would say it was not bad.

First of all, I have to give it up to their manager Kruti! She’s simply an outstanding host. Planned a birthday surprise and she was a phenomenal organizer. Then the food was impeccable! Much better than I thought it would be. Service was first class! If I could give them 6 stars, I would. Amazing!! Amazing!!

Ive never eaten Carbonara and Lasagne in Nigeria thats as tasty as the one I had here today. The food was amazing!!! I had the lasagne and my friend got carbonara but we tried each others food and loved it. If you like pasta dishes this is the place to go. Seems like its a hidden treasure though. From the streets theres no sign pointing you to the restaurant...probably because its inside the Blowfish Hotel...Like you literally have to walk through the hotels reception to the pool area. The decor was also very well thought out. From the wall papers to the cutlery; from the blue check napkins to the open fire place, everything came together and gave off an amazing ambience. I only drank water so Id go back and try the cocktails on a non-work night. Very pocket friendly as well. Definitely going back 😊

La Veranda is located within Blowfish hotel and is one of several restaurants on the premises. Its a nice outdoor setting overlookingthe pool (though theres a small indoor section) with a lively crowd and music from the DJ. Its well staffed and turnaround time for the food is good.On the flipside however, the food and drinks to me are a bit overpriced, I havent gotten value for money on the few occasions Ive been there; the milkshakes honestly tasted like nothing more than blended diluted ice cream. The pizza however is quite good.

Great outdoor and indoor seating areas. Lovely food; Italian so a wide variety of pastas, pizzas and antipasto and drinks. Situated within Blowfish hotel grounds, so the pool and a small play area is available at extra cost but great to keep children occupied.

La Veranda restaurant just as the name implies overlooks a balcony from which you have a nice and spectacular view of the hotels swimming pool and lounge.It is tucked in a very cool,serene environment where you could sit and have a nice meal all by yourself or shared with a loved one.The restaurant caters to groups just as well and the service is equally as nice,the express delivery and take out service all but adds more to the restaurants appealIts menu is so well versed and mouth watering you might want feel like having it all.

Ordered from them with specific ingredients and called to follow up.. Order came with out the ingredients and called the rest to fix the order.. the owner response from the back was “nothing we can do about it now”. WOW>. If you are not man enough to speak To a customer... you should not be in the restaurant business.. instead of apologising and fixing the issue..Will never entertain such businesses. Will make sure my fellow expats know about this.

This is an amazing traditional Italian restaurant. I think this is the best place in Victoria Island to find great Italian cuisines. The foods here are not expensive, the wait staff are very professional and the atmosphere is always captivating. There both indoor and outdoor sitings here. The food was good. I had some seafood pasta and steak. The price was moderately expensive considering the weaker naira. Note that the entrance to this restaurant is a bit confusing as you have to go through the hotel and walk by the pool to find it.

I’d searched for where I could get nice Italian pasta, I was referred to Blowfish, apparently, you get to La Veranda, through Blowfish. Nice pasta, my friend like what he had also. The ambience is not so bad. Good for causal outings.

The food and the service are excellent. The view towards the swimming pool is relaxing and you can enjoy your food in a very pleasant environment. The only problem I found is that the prices of pizzas, pastas and deserts are high compare to other restaurants but due to the quality I believe it worths to visit it.

If I could I would give zero stars! I placed my order at 7pm. They gave me a timeframe of 1 hour for delivery to my place specifically. I called at 8pm was told that the delivery man was on his way. I looked on maps and it would have taken him 40min to get to my location. Exactly 40minutes later they call to let me know they will not deliver to me. Unacceptable customer service

This is an Italian restaurant with about the best of Italian cuisine. It is quite #expensive but its got a good range of meals to get you enticed.The banana split comes tasty and quite filling, goes for about ₦3,800. For a pasta lover such as myself, try the chicken milanese with spaghetti goes for ₦6,000 and well worth it. So from starter to desert, youd be good with about ₦12,000 or there about.Service isnt as quick as youd want but professional to a better degree. Oh the Chocolat mou is ₦3,800 and is just lovely to take in. Recommended.

Nice little home style Italian restaurant. There are a lot of a selection of Italian home cooked food including pasta and meat plates. The interior is very authentic. The staff here are the same staff is the old Italian restaurant on top of candies on Kofo and Abayomi Street from several years ago.

Review №69

The ambiance is great with a really nice open space, a pool and also air conditioned indoor area if you want a quiet space and free wifi. However, the food was bad. We ordered a Penne Arabiata pasta which was overloaded with garlic, we ordered tiramisu and I cant quite describe how it was cause I havent seen something so badly presented. We then ordered wine which was good and coffee which was horrible. They didnt give milk and just gave hot water, sugar and a cheap nescafe coffee powder for us to mix and have. Customer service was the worst, the waited took 40 min to bring the check and never responded properly. Overall I think this place is overrated.

We came for the tiramisu. But on arrival, no one was in and the place was locked. We were told they were having a meeting. So weird. This was around 5pm. We sat by the poolside at Blowfish and when they finally got back, they served our tiramisu and strawberry cheesecake. They were both apologies. Someone else might like them.
