From the Latin root, Veritas means “truth”, the literal

translation of Verace is “truthful” and both the design

and menu at Verace are true to its Italian heritage.

Along with the truth and authenticity in food and

ingredients, the architectural concept is created

around respecting the tradition of classic Italian

architecture, but infusing cutting edge design and

modern product. The Italian culture has produced

some of the world’s most recognized ancient

buildings, yet has produced the world’s most

recognized modern design in furniture, fashion and

interiors. Verace is a blend of both worlds.

The floor, made with wood reclaimed from an old

Pennsylvania barn, juxtaposes the sleek, modern

seats and stylish, clean banquettes that define the

dining room. The open kitchen, framed in Italian

marble, showcases a Ferrari red cooking suite.

Verace’s wines on tap are delivered in temperature

controlled, steel lined Eco Kegs and coaxed through

the system with nitrogen. These Eco Kegs eliminate

the possibility of exposure to oxygen, cork or

sunlight and the damage that these three elements

can do to a wine’s flavor profile. We also reduce both

the environmental impact and the financial cost of

shipping so many bottles and cardboard boxes. By

serving wine on tap, we are able to pass these savings

along to our guest and allow us serve a superior glass

of wine at a very reasonable price.

WINE ON TAP

Verace’s menu is designed to provide our guests with

the amazing variety that Italian food is synonymous

with, without sacrificing the quality the Bohlsen

Restaurant Group has built its reputation on. Our

menu’s diversity allows Verace to always offer the

guest something that will satisfy their appetite. The

quality of food described on the menu, built on

ingredients sourced from the finest purveyors both

domestically and internationally, is second to none.

The value of our accessibly priced menu allows

Verace to be the neighborhood restaurant at which

Islip residents can afford to become regulars.

THE FOOD

The centerpiece of Verace is the open kitchen at the

center of the building. Each of our guests must walk

through the kitchen in order to reach the dining room.

As you pass through, take note of the Berkel slicer

built in 1909, the Ferrari red cooking suite and the

Woodstone gas burning pizza oven, with a viewing

window so you can watch your dinner cook while you

enjoy the ambiance of the dining room.

THE KITCHEN

The enclosed garden space behind Verace, with a

man-made babbling creek centerpiece and hanging

light bulbs above, also transports you to another

place and time. Dine al fresco in the courtyard or sip

cocktails by the outdoor fireplace.

THE GROTTO

The balcony at Verace, named the Galleria, is an oasis

overlooking the main dining room. The luxurious

velvet wall and the decorative barreled ceiling create

an environment perfect for small gatherings or large

parties. A television on the wall shows alternating

feeds of the action in the kitchen or ariel views of Italy.

THE GALLERIA

Verace’s main bar, bookended by a beautiful Italian

espresso machine and our sleek wine taps, is a great

place to have a glass of wine, enjoy a bite and run into

friends. The bar opens up to the alleyway between

Verace and Tellers that is reminiscent of an alleyway

you may find in Verona.
