I have dined at the Verve Cafe twice now, once in Feb 2011 and again last year for my birthday in August. The staff are always really friendly and helpful - nothing is too much for them :) and the food is always so yum and really reasonably priced. It has a great atmosphere and i would recommend heading to... More

Looking for a nearby place to eat that wasn't going to bankrupt us, we tried this Verve. wouldn't have found it without TripAdvisor !! Good Italian food in a arty basement location. I really enjoyed my Eye fillet, excellent. My partners pizza was 'ok ' I would go back again.

We never would have found Verve, had it not been for our Entertainment guide. So pleased we did. Liked it as soon as we got down to the basement. Went for lunch which we enjoyed and will certainly be back for dinner and will tell our friends.

Try as you might you will never find a chicken and blue cheese risotto that comes even close!! A cute, hidden gem of a restaurant with a reasonable wine list, generally good staff and real atmosphere. It's not fine dining but for top quality Italian food there's nowhere better. A great venue for a mates night out!

I do like this place. The food is fairly standard Italian fare, but is good quality and the Herb bread is one of the best I have ever tasted. The drinks selection at the bar is good as well. As others have said, it can be quite noisy due to the enclosed brick walls, but if you ask for one... More

We dined at the Verve on Feb 9th and loved it! The restaurant itself is in what looks like a basement and is very dimmly lit. Probably not ideal for everyone but we loved it. The atmosphere was exciting, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves which in turn makes you feel good. The service was prompt and knowledgable. The food... More

Great place to celebrate a birthday, atmosphere and decor was enjoyable. Food as promised was fresh and very tasty! Unique and interesting dishes, could have stayed and tried lots more on the menu. My only criticism was that it was hard to get a staff member's attention to place an order but it was a busy night and one staff... More

Went here this week with a group of work people. The food here is your standard pizza and pasta. I had a pretty good pizza with some bread and dips to start with. The place is a low ceiling, dimly lit restaurant that was packed. Good prices. Average wine list but great beers and ciders had a good representation.
