Subtitled "an American Bistro," Verdi's has been Marco Island's culinary boast for well over a decade. Don't be fooled by its simple strip mall setting. The kitchen offsets the simplicity with marvelously crafted seafood and meat dishes presented with style and multi-dimensional flavor. Here's a small sampling: pan seared Chilean sea bass with hoisin sauce glaze, sautéed spinach, fingerling potatoes and tomato concasse; catch of the day Mediterranean style with sautéed spinach, tomatoes, green and black olives and jasmine rice with feta cheese; and its signature grilled New Zealand rack of lamb with garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, port, and lamb and mint demi-glaze. Alcohol is beer and wine only, but the wine selection is robust and varied.
