What an amazing experience for me and my wife. Vee was the real authentic Italian chef! She showed us the proper and delicious ways of making tagliatelle, ravioli and carbonara.

Our Story
Crafted with Love &
Generations of Tradition
Every loaf of bread, every strand of fresh pasta, and every delicate dessert we create is a tribute to the recipes and techniques passed down through my Sicilian family. Growing up in Verona, I learned to cook from generations of tradition—and now I'm honored to share that heritage with Virginia Beach.
From our rustic Italian bread with its perfect crust to our traditional tiramisu, each item is made by hand in small batches using authentic ingredients. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just real Italian food the way it was meant to be.

What People Say
Loved by Virginia Beach
Fantastic, authentic Italian pastries! The best I have tasted outside of Naples, Italy. I highly recommend Vee's!
Best authentic lasagna ever! The ziti is delicious too. My boys were never a fan of sauce until they tried the meatballs with sauce — now they ask for it all the time.
Her tiramisu is the BEST! Well balanced and addictive. The focaccia is also fantastic. I can't wait to visit again!
Vee's Italian Bakery has wonderful authentic Italian/Sicilian items. Some of my favorites are the chocolate torte and the cannolis. The cookies and tiramisu are also special.
I'm an Italian American who moved to Virginia from Long Island ten years ago. Veronica's bread is a taste of heaven! She's a treasure to have in our area.
The Lasagna is out of this world. The pasta is unbelievable — obviously homemade and the finest quality I've ever had. The sauce is amazing.
Veronica was amazing! What a memorable and magical time cooking with friends and learning authentic Italian with V. Would book her again without question!
Our pasta class with Veronica was so much fun and easy. My family and I will be taking another one of her classes soon. Thank you, Veronica!
Vee's cooking class was a truly special experience! Her passion for authentic Italian cooking is contagious, and getting to learn from her was invaluable!
I've been lucky enough to enjoy Vee's cooking for years. Everything she makes feels like it comes straight from a true Italian home kitchen — full of love, tradition, and care.
Vee's Cooking Class was the best experience for making homemade pasta! She made it easy! We made pasta, Italian sauces, and finished with dinner, wine, and dessert.
Met Vee at the Old Beach Farmer's Market and signed up for her cooking class. Learned to make pasta, sauces, and gnocchi. Vee is a great teacher.
Vee was incredibly kind to make a class for my husband and me. She makes you feel like family. The laughs we shared and the food were incredible — by far our favorite date night.

Everything she makes tastes like it came straight from an Italian home kitchen, full of love and tradition. Her chocolate cake is absolutely unforgettable.
Absolutely amazing food! Everything is homemade and you can truly taste the authenticity. The lasagnas are honestly divine — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
We love her meatballs and marinara sauce! So delicious! I've even been getting some for my neighbors.
Very engaging, simple, delicious and authentic. I felt good learning, eating, and laughing — everyone was happy. I loved it!
Vee is THE person to go to if you're craving real Italian home-cooked food! Her food is fresh, comforting, and feels like home.
Vee and the food she makes is absolutely amazing! Her style of cooking has made us returning customers at the Farmers Market, and she makes the best tiramisu!
Chef Vee was the best for our girls' night cooking class! She keeps things casual yet so informative and fun, and the food is delicious.
We've ordered party-size lasagnas from Vee's for two different events, and both times, everyone raved over it! Everything we've tried has been amazing.

Good to Know
Frequently Asked
The quick answers to what folks usually want to know. Don't see yours? Text us at 203.361.8717.
Are your pasta, lasagna, and baked ziti sold fresh or frozen?
Our pasta, lasagna, baked ziti, sauces, and many dolci are made fresh in small batches and sold frozen for freshness — enjoy them any night of the week with just a reheat. Breads and focaccia are always sold fresh-baked.
How do I reheat or bake frozen items?
All of our frozen items can be cooked directly from frozen or after thawing overnight in the fridge. For lasagna and baked ziti, bake covered at 375°F for 30–40 minutes if thawed, or 60–75 minutes from frozen. Fresh pasta boils straight from frozen in 3–4 minutes. Always reheat to an internal temperature of 165°F before serving — use a food thermometer to check, especially when cooking from frozen. Full heating instructions are included with every order.
How much notice do you need for custom or catering orders?
We recommend 5–7 days for custom and catering orders, especially for larger quantities or weekend pickup. For holidays and busy weekends, please reach out 2 weeks ahead. Smaller orders can often be accommodated last minute — text or email us and we'll do our best.
Where can I pick up my order?
Pickup is available at Foodies — The Local's Market (1060 Lynnhaven Pkwy #106, Virginia Beach) on Tuesdays from 3 PM–7 PM, or at any of our weekend farmers markets. Sunday delivery is available in Hampton Roads for an added fee based on distance.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
We offer meatless options like Meatless Lasagna and Eggplant Parmigiana. Our kitchen uses wheat, dairy, and eggs regularly, so we cannot guarantee a gluten-free or allergen-free environment. Please mention allergies in your order notes and we'll do our best to help.
What's included in the cooking class?
A hands-on Italian cooking experience where you make fresh pasta from scratch — tagliatelle, gnocchi, and ravioli — plus traditional sauces, then sit down to enjoy the meal you created. Cook together in small groups of up to 8. 6:00 PM–9:30 PM, $100 per person.
What's your cancellation and refund policy?
Cooking class reservations are non-refundable once payment is received. For custom and catering orders, cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before pickup to receive a full refund. For last-minute changes, please contact us and we'll work with you when possible.
