Sydney Morning Herald Guy Griffen, 29-5-2008 "Partners Louie Kallas, Vince Squillace and Antonio Ruggerino have refreshed a heritage-listed corner site that was once neighbourhood charmer Two Chefs on Stanley. It's a family affair here - all of the owners are related and hail from the same village in Calabria. Vince designed the fit-out, Louie is the floor manager and Antonio is the chef. There's casalinga-style hospitality in the warm, dark timbers of the downstairs dining room and in the floor-to-ceiling windows, often opened to the street life. Walk upstairs and you'll discover one of the city's most comfortable bars."

Sydney Morning Herald Kelsey Munro, 20-11-2007 "Early on a warm Thursday evening, the doors to the small French balcony upstairs at Verde are wide open, letting in the fresh air and providing a good vantage point to watch the bats in their twilight migration. The restaurant sits at the former site of Two Chefs, commanding a pleasantly cosmopolitan view of the Stanley-Riley intersection in East Sydney"
