Located in the historic Clifton neighborhood, Varanese is a fine dining restaurant owned by Executive Chef, John Varanse. It boasts a modern design with an old-world charm featuring a gorgeous 20-foot, slate water wall, renaissance-style booths, white-linen topped tables, lavish floor-to-ceiling windows, dramatically painted walls adorned with abstract art paintings, and romantic overhead lighting. The restaurant also features a stunning outdoor garden patio surrounded by lush greenery and gorgeous black-stone tiles. Varanese serves an eclectic menu of farm-to-table, New American style fare with options like Fried Green Tomato Salad and Gulf Shrimp and Grits – sautéed gulf shrimp with chive and sharp cheddar grits topped with spicy tasso gravy and served alongside braised collard greens.
