Schiacciatina Vegetariana Panini at Cafe Verona
Once you slip in to the garden escape of Cafe Verona, you'd never think you were parallel to a busy street in Los Angeles, or next door to an Easy Lube auto shop. The small, yet lush exterior patio decor is a bit of an Italian garden jungle feel with overflowing plants and well placed man made waterfall fountains. Cafe Verona is the perfect casual, yet serene breakfast or lunch spot for a quick and delicious meal with a bargain bite price tag and friendly service.

The paninis (Italian sandwiches) always come out just perfect with deliciously layered juicy ingredients in the center of warm crisp bread. I particularly love the Schiacciatina Vegetariana which comes with succulent eggplant, zucchini, roasted red peppers, and pesto with a tad bit of mayo. I always add a side of mozzarella cheese to mine. It also arrives with a side of mixed greens with tangy balsamic dressing or $2 extra for a caesar salad. Another favorite is the Salmon Paillard which combines a sauteed salmon paillard on top of bold beets and fresh greens. Cafe Verona also serves a great selection of Fritattas (Italian omelets), salads, and a variety of appetizers. Friends of mine also love the Quiche Piemontese which is a spinach and mushroom quiche served with a side of sweet potato and cucumber dill yogurt.
Bonuses include free parking in the back lot, breakfast and brunch served all day, free refills on lemonade & iced tea, a basket of soft baked bread, and vegetarian friendly.
Open Daily from 7 a.m - 6p.m.
