Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

Very disappointed in our meal Thursday evening April 9th. The special red cod from Alaska was unimpressive. The risotto underneath was very strongly flavored with tomato sauce which conflicted with the fish. The string beans were not cooked well at all. My husbands clam chowder was advertised as New England but was a brown color. No cream base and very little clams. It is the worst type of review when all you can say is disappointing. We have been there several times before and are noticing that it is becoming inconsistent.

I've been going to VB for years, and I've never had a bad meal. I saw Zach's post from July- time to visit again Zach! They had 3 or 4 micro beers on tap! I'm not a beer guy so I apologize, I can't tell you if they'd be to your liking. I went there last night, New Years Eve, with some friends. We sat in the bar area. The place was buzzing. Our bartenders handled the croud with ease. If they didn't have your drinks up right away, they still got to you in a timely manner. We never waited more than 3 minutes for our drinks. They truly worked as a team. There were 4 bartenders handling the bar dining area, and the bar / hi tops. They also handled all of the drinks being rung in from the entire restaurant! I can't believe how attentive and happy they were!!! I probably spoke to 60+ people last night in the bar, EVERYONE was shocked with how good the service was!!! I think chef Lo was in the kitchen most of the night. I saw him running around for moments at a time, but he was mostly out of site. They slimmed down the menu- I was shocked on how many choices were still available for such a busy night!!! My wife just told me the one bartender was making a one time celebrity appearance, he did look like Vince Vaughn, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't!!! Now that I'm thinking about it, she did say how nice he was, and she did mention how handsome he was.... I have to sign off now, it's time I have a talk with her!!! Great job Villa Barolo!! Have a prosperous 2013!!

Overall experience was interesting, but not repeatable. 1. Chef Lo, who I assume has a significant financial interest in the restaurant, stood at the front desk taking reservations while his two hostesses watched him do their jobs. We were the only party at the front desk at the time we arrived and waited while Chef Lo answered the phones before he sat us in the nearly empty restaurant. 2. The waiter was talented and professional , albeit a bit dramatic for a mid range establishment. 3. The menu was the most eclectic in the area. If it weren't for the Kangaroo, I would have thought I was at a fancy Greek diner. 4. The Food had mixed reviews from my family. All the pasta dishes were unexpectedly bad. The Fish, however, was very good and de-boned at the tabled by Chef Lo. All in all, we still prefer dining in the Borough.
(2)Jeff O.
Bottom line first: nice place that has room to improve. My wife has gotten quite good at getting us half-off gift certificates to places we either like or want to check out. We had been wanting to try Villa Barolo for some time now, so when she got the certificates I was excited to go. When she called for reservations, she was told that they did not take reservations except for large groups and that we should haveno problem getting in. I was concerned that they would not be busy onaSaturday night. When we got there, they were busy but not full, which is perfect to me. The chef seems to be more concerned with whatis happeningin the dining room rather than the kitchen. This results in service that is near perfect and food that is inconsistent. I ordered the duck, which was quitegood, but the veg that came with it less than stelar. It seems that some of the stations are well managed while others less so. Overall, we had a great time made better by our waitress. We would go back, but we will not rush back. If we are in the area, it will ccertainly be one of our options, but we will not go out ouf our way.

I came here for my friend's rehearsal dinner and we had a really nice time. They sectioned an area off for us towards the back of the restaurant. It was setup a little weird, but since they had some booths, there's a little less flexibility with moving tables around. One of the bridesmaids and I shared the penne ala vodka and chicken parm. The penne was delicious & HUGE. It didn't seem that big, but we were really surprised how filling it was. The chicken parm was decent, but I was very thrown off by serving potatoes instead of pasta with it. No clue why they chose that, but it made it a little weird. Also I wasn't thrilled with the sauce on the chicken. It was really underseasoned, The drinks at the bar were really good too & there were TVs there so we could periodically check in on the March Madness games. Despite not being thrilled with the chicken parm, I did like the place.
(3)Louis W.
This is the best meal I've had at a restaurant since moving to PA - I was THAT impressed! Finally had a date-night with my wife and we went here for a "nice" dinner. This was a busy Saturday night, and the place was packed. We were seated quickly and our waiter (Zach) was spot-on the whole time. The menu is impressive and has a very nice collection of new spins on Italian cuisine, and of course - the Italian classics. My wife had the Gnocchi and I had Eggplant Parm, both dishes were absolutely amazing. I'm not just saying that without having eaten some of the best Italian food in the world, I have. The freshness of the food, the sauces, and flavor - Wow this is good! We also shared some seafood appetizers - we had clams and crab-stuffed mushrooms. We really enjoyed the whole experience and I was really impressed with the food quality. We were greeted by a very sincere and approachable Chef Lo, whom we understand is the owner too. The manager was very pleasant too (I'm spacing on his name) - still - very nice people were making sure everything was great. This is not close to where we live but I can promise we'll be back soon! Highly recommend you try for yourself - you will not be unhappy that you did...especially if you know what GOOD food really tastes like!
(5)Glory T.
We visited this restaurant today for the first time and what a treat! Suppa tuscan a, excellent, flavorful, hearty very well seasoned. I ordered the Gnocchi on garlic aioli with Lamb sirloin, and wow! It was just amazing. The staff is very courteous, the Chef came to the table to say hello. My husband ordered a steak sandwich with french fries, so good! For dessert we got the poached pears in grand mariner reduction with vanilla ice cream: perfection! All of that for less than $45 for two, in a very nice ambience, very comfortable restaurant. Ample parking. Going back this weekend.
(5)Brian K.
Very nice atmosphere. Waiter was attentive, friendly, and patient. Not many options for beer, but it's not a pub. Although my meat slice was a bit thin, and mussels were a bit small, the taste of everything was great. My wife loved her penne vodka, and had such a large portion that she only ate half of it. Prices and menu items were different for valentine's day and rack of lamb was unavail.
(4)Edward C.
Always a good meal and great service. We went for the restaurant week and it was great! $30 prix fix with $25 bottles of wine. Highly recommend it.
(5)Greg F.
Good service and fine food at this restaurant today (Father's Day).. Portions were ample. Has a very nice atmosphere and very pleasant staff. Plenty of parking.
(4)David N.
Consistently good food in very attractive restaurant. Chef Lo is omnipresent and attentive to all details. Can get a nice and affordable lunch in less than an hour. Salad with seafood is large and tasty. We have our office holiday dinner here every year. My wife loves the roasted peppers. Other apps very good too. Fillet and lamb chops are very good. Also have exotic meats (didn't care for kangaroo).
(4)Deborah L.
We had a lovely dinner here on March 3, 2015. It was a snowy Tuesday night. Our Italian waiter was pleasant with a charming accent. My husband had chicken parmesan, which he liked but it didn't blow him away. I, on the other hand, had the whole bronzino. Our waiter fileted it tableside, and it was absolutely delicious. Depending on what you have, dinner will probably run two people between $45 and $60 before appetizers and drinks. My only disappointment: a couple of desserts are made there but most are not. All in all, very good food, very good service, and nice atmosphere. I would recommend Villa Barolo.
(4)J D.
Great food Clean place servers always accommodating. Only downer is we are sometimes rushed. Highly recommend can not go wrong.
(4)Vicky G.
Service is excellent. Very nice ambiance. It's a bit on the pricey side but the food is always good. I highly recommend the ostrich.
(5)Josh S.
Place was great! Came this weekend with my dad. Both got the bone in veal chop and they made it into a parmesan. Service was great and so was the food. Will be back soon! Also the owner is very nice, he walks up to every table to see if everything is alright.
(5)David C.
I have been in this restaurant for several times, it is very consistent for the quality of the food, service is good as well. The menu is a little bite too complex, should I say too many choices? I always ask the Chef lo to help me to make the decision and never went wrong!
(5)Dave S.
I have been hooked. This has become one of my favorites. Why? I love the food. One of the places with actual al dente pasta. That and the bar menu offers great value. Lo and his staff care so much about the fiod they serve. My favorite is the capellini del sole, with sun dried tomatoes, asparagus, basIl, garlic, mushrooms. I love it. I also enjoy the risotto dishes. And they have a nice wine list. Now a regular haunt for me.
(4)Lisa V.
Every time me and my family go we never had a bad experience . Excellent food and serve!!!
(5)Lee S.
I've driven past this place for year and every time say that I want to try it. A few weeks ago a client called and asked to take us to dinner there. We were very excited to try it. The parking lot was rather tight (think there was a large party) the building was well decorated and very nice. We started with a few drinks, cream of asapargus soup and an appetizer. All of which was great. I was pleased to see the bowl full of olives and bread on the table as well. One person ordered the grilled shrimp, someone else the chicken parm, my wife the shrimp risotto and myself the New York Strip. This one of the best steaks that I've had in a long time and was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Everyone enjoyed their dishes as well except I was underwhelmed with the Shrimp Risotto. The poached pear for dessert made up for this quickly as my wife was in heaven with this dessert. All in all, it was a great experience, with great food and we will definitely be coming back in the future.
(4)Mai C.
I had the kangaroo as my bf had the boar and lamb. The portion size for mine was very little compared to his even mine cost more. 3 small pieces and mushrooms so not worth the price. The desserts were frozen. For a place like this, I felt that it could have been a lot better. Bf dish seems fine as he was actually full after eating it. I was still hungry after my dish. We shared an appetizer that was mussels, shrimps and scallops. I bit into broken shells a number of times as I ate it. Guess they don't clean their seafood that well. Ugh
(2)Colin L.
Just ate here tonight, and loved it. I'm vegan and yet they catered to it, making sure everything I was ordering would be okay and were willing to make substitutions. I ordered a linguini primavera--which in my mind is a rather simple dish, not too much room for being awful or fantastic--but it was aaaaamaaaaziiiing. I don't get how they make everything so great there. I also had the grilled portobello mushroom appetizer that came with roasted red pepper, which was also delicious. The service was great, the food was exceptional, and my entire family enjoyed everything. I'd definitely recommend it.
(5)Paul R.
Food is pricey but you get what you pay for. The risotto (which I have had poorly executed elsewhere) was spot on here.
(5)Karen F.
I have eaten here twice and briefly considered it for a rehearsal dinner location (based on its location - near Doylestown & Warrington). They could not accomodate our large group, so we opted to go elsewhere. That said, Via Barolo has some decent food - you have to know what to order (do not get fish here!) and ask them to go light on the salt. In my opinion, the food here runs on the saltier side. Pasta was cooked al dente - and very good. If I ever go back I will stick to salads and pasta dishes.
(3)Zach V.
After reading the reviews I wasn't expecting too much from this place. I stopped by on a Saturday night in July with some friends. We sat down around 9pm and there were not may people there. Our waiter came over quickly with water and took our drink orders. The girls had martini's and my friend and I had beer. The beer selection is limited to a few macro's and didn't have anything out of the ordinary. After looking at the large menu I was intrigued by the specials page that had some exotic meats. After speaking with our waiter I chose the Kangaroo steak with mashed sweet potato's, grilled portobello mushrooms in a wine reduction. I ordered my meal medium rare and it was cooked exactly how I wanted it. The meat was so tender and the sauce was spot on. Kangaroo is a sweat lean meat and its now on my favorites list. The side of vegetables that accompanied my meal were plain and could have been prepared much better. The ostrich steak and salmon pasta were very good and worth a try. The last entree we had was the scallops over pasta. The scallops were cooked perfectly and tasted great. The pasta they were served over was very bland. This was the only real down side to our meal.
(4)Nina B.
My grandmother-in-law insisted we go to Villa Barolo for her 91st birthday celebration. I don't know about you, but if I live that long, I'll want a better meal for such an occasion. The food wasn't bad...it just wasn't all that good, either. My fettuccine with salmon was incredibly salty (and I save dishes with cream sauce for special occasions, so imagine my disappointment). The others in my party usually eat their entire meals or take home leftovers--this time, they did neither. I get that it's an Italian restaurant, but I was really turned off by the music piped into the dining room: Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban. Expected and boring. The food and overall experience just weren't worth the tab. To end on a positive note, out waiter was very nice and competent; the wine was good; and the bathrooms were beautiful.
(2)Christopher D.
Villa Barolo is a local restaurant that promises fresh seafood. It is best known for its whole fish, where the chef will filet it tableside. I dined at the bar tonight, beginning with some wonderful oysters, and following them with pasta arabiata. The penne was cooked beautifully al dente. The dessert was a tiramisu, which while not made in house, hit the spot. The drinks are good. I was especially impressed that they had a super tuscan by the glass. All in all a good local restaurant.
(3)Ken M.
We had a party of 14. The restaurant sectioned off a private area for our group. Everything went smoothly. The food was good. Our server was excellent. Our water glasses were continuously refreshed in a timely manner. No one felt rushed. They have a good wine selection. Notable mentions were the veal, lamb and the Barramundi. We would return to this restaurant again.
(4)Matt D.
I wanted to like this restaurant so much, but all I could think about was: when is Gordon Ramsay going to show up for an episode of Kitchen Nightmares! First of all, this place must have cost a fortune and seats a minimum of 250 people, and there may be more seating hidden in there. Chef Lo was the host, and he was very nice, and then came the waiter. He was very nice, but to say he was overbearing would be an understatement. The menu is about as massive as the dining area, but I was excited to see such a broad selection of Italian and Mediterranean fare. I found it to be a little on the pricey side, but the expectation was high. The red zinfandel I ordered was excellent, albeit not a very large glass for $9, and the salad and bread were very pleasant (home made house Italian was nice and flavorful). I ordered a side of the "house specialty, famous" gnocchi with my crab stuffed calamari. That's when things went down hill....fast. The gnocchi was incredibly bland and so disappointing for all the hype. The stuffed calamari was just middle of the road, but for the price, it should have been better. The stuffing was heavy on filler, it was loaded with huge chunks of garlic, and there was a nice big slice of jalapeno in it (not sure how that got there, but I'm assuming it was a mistake). So far we were barely pushing three stars, but then the waiter did them in. He saw that I only ate 1/3 of the gnocchi, so he asked if I wanted to box it. I said no thanks. He then asked if there was something wrong with it. I said it was really bland and doughy. His response was, "I'm so sorry to hear that, I'll just take it away." He then just stared at me, so I asked for the check. He brought it to me and put a pen down on the table that was so chewed up that the writing was chomped off. It was gross. I know this is weird, but it really bugged me. I hate to say this, but I wish I would have gone to Carabba's down the road....half the price for the same or better quality.

I was here for a baby shower recently. The food was definitely four stars - very good, very large portions. However, they weren't very good at handling a group of people. I would have thought since they handle so many events that they'd have a better flow worked out. Weird things: 1. They brought around fried peppers, fried ravioli, and other miscellaneous appetizers but there were no toothpicks or tongs to get these things off their serving dish. You just kind of had to dig in. This doesn't bother me personally because I'm not a germ fanatic, but it just struck me as odd. 2. I came a little later than some other folks, and it seemed that they had already been offered soda and iced tea (totally fine). But when I sat down I wasn't offered anything to drink. 3. Some people were given boxes to take their leftovers home, and others had their food discarded by the staff. There were multiple people serving each table, and it seemed like what treatment you received depended on who happened to be assisting you at that moment. I think they should have more rules and direction when it comes to how these types of events should be executed. If I were to come here just for dinner I think my rating would be higher. I can't imagine so many funky things would happen during a regular outing.
(3)Candi K.
Had a business lunch here with a vendor. This place is excellent if you want to take the time you want to take but not be held up by slow staff...everything was done very quickly (especially the food...it felt like less than 7 or 8 minutes before it arrived). We were checked on often enough to make sure we were happy but giving us time & space to enjoy a business lunch. My chicken cheesesteak was a large portion and quite tasty. Others at the table cleaned their plates, so that's normally a sign of approval. The only reason why it is four stars instead of five was that I had two dirty glasses. That really grosses me out. The water glass had something green stuck inside and lipstick marks all along the top. Needless to say, I didn't drink any water. My sprite glass didn't have anything as obvious as lipstick marks, but I'm not positive it was clean (looked really filmy). I'm sure they would have fixed it had I complained, but I'm not one to throw a fuss at a business lunch. Plenty of parking at lunch time...though I think it might be tight when the place is full.

Chef Lo seems to micro manage everything in the restaurant except the kitchen. I ordered the Linguine Pescatore and you can see and taste that the seafood (clams, shrimp, and mussels) were not fresh. The dish had no flavor and for $21.00, you can find better almost anywhere else. Perhaps Chef Lo is an excellent cook, but unfortunately, nobody is tasting his dishes since he is busy playing host and too absorbed with administrative work at the front of the restaurant. The service was good. Food was poor.

After residing right by this restaurant for my entire 20 years of existence, I decided it was time to come here for my birthday. It's not all its cracked up to be, though: On the outside, a "fancy", upscale Italian restaurant with nice architecture and interior design. However, I wasn't all too impressed with my meal, which was a seafood risotto. I personally don't like surprises in my food, particularly seafood, and I found myself crunching on some mysterious objects..maybe grains of sand? shells? Who knows. Another person whom I went with had only ordered a salad--a simple dish, and it was just a typical salad that you might find from anywhere else. The coffee was decent. The service was good, though. We were greeted on our way in (Although the fact that an Italian restaurant had an Asian chef was a bit confusing to me..not that people should be automatically placed into specific restaurants based upon their ethnicity, but it's typically the norm for an Italian place to have Italian chefs, and is normally a good sign..). The chef was also apparently the host, as well, which I was confused about, but granted, perhaps it was the time of day that we came in (about 1pm on a Saturday). The place was also pretty dead except for a room which was some sort of private banquet and was filled with senior citizens during the time. Overall, we were happy with our waitress (possibly because of the British accent which made me biased), but the place was just so-so. The prices were surprisingly cheap as well, to mirror their average-tasting food.

This is "THE" place my company takes our visitors for dinners. We always choose to go the family style route and allow Chef Lo to decide what he serves us. Everybody loves the wide selection, from great appetizers to entrees of kangaroo or fish, and the food just keeps coming. Eating family style is a great way to motivate others to try food they would not normally try, and it gets everybody involved in the conversation. I can't recommend Chef Lo and Villa Barolo enough!

Amazing food every time I've ever been there!

It's hard for a vegetarian to comment on a place that serves kangaroo on the menu.... but for a nice, simple Italian meal and good California wine, this place was nice. I sat at the bar, which is casual feeling even in a more dressy restaurant, and service was great. The bartender was busy, but she was attentive and pleasant. I had homemade gnocci (hold the meat sauce) and it was really yummy! And the portion was plenty, I almost didn't finish it. Cheers to having one of my favorite California Zinfandels on hand!

This place had a great atmosphere, nice lighting, friendly waiters and an interesting menu. I ordered the kangaroo, which as the waiter said came straight from Australia. It was tender like the way beef tenderloin would taste and cooked in a sweet sauce.

So me and the wife have been here quite a few times and we love it. She is a vegetarian and i am not. There is always something for both of us to eat. the service and food are 99 percent outstanding. It was such a good place, plus our first real date as a dating couple, i arrange with the staff so i could propose there. Def. recommend

I don't know how to describe this place.- they sem to be searching for an identity. Chef Lo has an extensive repotoire. The menu is vast, with exotic meats and game to pasta and seafood. There doesn't seem to be a theme. The food was good. The atmosphere was tired and dated Odd

We had a group & a private room which was nice having our own space to talk & mingle. They brought out a few appetizers - calamari was the only one I tried - it was okay. Our server was quite knowledgeable about all their dishes - but they overload you with information. I ordered the bronzino which is cooked in a salt & egg mixture at high heat - it looks like a loaf of bread when they bring it out. Then the Chef comes out & filets it tableside. The fish was quite good - cooked perfectly - juicy, tender, yum - definitely a repeat dish. The sides were very uninspired some potatoes & broccoli which most people did not eat. They have a ecclectic menu with an assortment of unusual meats for those that like to try eating different animals. They have fairly large wine list which I wasn't impressed with. I did have a glass of Super Tuscan ($12) that tasted like it had been opened a few days ago. It's not a place I'm going to again & again. But - like I said - I did very much enjoy the fish.

We recently hosted our rehearsal dinner at Villa Barolo and everyone loved it! Even though we were planning the event from out of state, the Chef worked with us to help create a menu of appetizers, entrees, and desserts plus wine for our event. We were able to include some Italian staples (pastas and parmigianas) plus more exotic fare (kangaroo) in order to keep everyone happy. The service was great and the atmosphere very pleasant. We were placed in a separate dining room (seats just over 50) so we were able to have privacy as well. We would definitely recommend Villa Barolo for an event or just a meal out on the town.

Good food in Warrington? (That's in Bucks County, PA). If you find yourself out in the area, this is THE place to have dinner. It's a huge bustling restaurant off HWY 611 with fantastic food, wine list and service. The menu is extensive. The fish selection is quite impressive considering you're landlocked. My party had the calamari fritta, which was cooked perfectly, not too chewy and the funghi ripieni, mushrooms stuffed with crab meat. I couldn't eat the crab meat (allergies) but everyone else loved it. We all ordered from the daily specials menu. And I was surprised at the organic, exotic meats that were offered: kangaroo, bison, ostrich, caribou. I thought it was funny to see duck in the exotic meat category. I thoroughly enjoyed my ostrich in a wine reduction, mashed potatoes and spinach. Salad is included with the specials. Picking out a bottle of wine took some consideration. How do they get their hands on all of these choices? The place is a little noisy, it's a big dining room. You'll need a reservation for weekends, cuz everybody in the area eats here for a night out! Entrees can run about $23 and up, on the specials, but it is a good break from cheesesteaks and scrapple!

i give two stars, one for calamari and one for for tirmisu..... calamari was good- crispy and flavorful. salad was cold. chicken parm was chewy. mozzarella was cold and congealed. tirmisu was awesome. service was POOR. my bf and i were ignored and passed over for about thirty minutes while a table full of rich snobs who were seated after us were waited on hand and foot. hey, can we at least order a friggin appetizer??? to top it off, our waiter only dropped by to push our table further away from the snobs, so as to not bother them i suppose. fine...i understand it's a little stuffy, we can gladly move over. but wait until I move my body before you push a table into me, ok? i was also carded. (for a bland bottle of "recommended wine" by the way) fine, card me...im only 24...but just ask, "can i see some id?' no need to get in my face and peer into my soul, interrogate me on my birth year and then comment about the way i look. how does that make a guest at your restaurant feel welcome? arent you professionals? i was made to feel very uncomfortable and actually wanted to leave, especially since at this point there was still no food ordered. instead i stayed, weirded out, frozen in my chair, afraid to ask the creepy waiter where the bathroom was. well, i wont be back next time im in the area. theres better italian for me to travel to south philly for.

Visited recently for my parents' anniversary. We're transplants from NYC and finding good Italian is not easy in the suburbs of Philly, but Villa Barolo wasn't bad. Several members of the party ordered oysters from the raw bar (I'm pregnant or I would've joined them) and said they were very good. I ordered baked oysters with foie gras-AMAZING. Fresh, and the duck was perfectly cooked. Fried calamari was decent, sauce was very good. Small portion for a table. Fried mozzarella didn't have a fresh egg batter...I think it was probably frozen and then placed in a fryer. Crab stuffed mushrooms were excellent. Tuna tartare also very good. Entrees were served with salad--this was a lovely, hearty house salad and my blue cheese dressing had to be homemade. Caesars also good. I had the snapper livornese--was a little taken aback that they allow the customer to choose the sauce, but I ordered the tomato and it was absolutely great. Fish cooked perfectly. My husband had the branzino, also wonderful although we both preferred my dish. Penne vodka was creamy with plenty of prosciutto, a smidge too much butter but mostly very good. Someone ordered veal parm and was very happy, linguini with white clam sauce a little bit bland. I tasted my brother's gnocchi, it also could've used a little more flavor. Chicken parm was very good. Dishes served with pasta or very nice roasted vegetables. Because a great Italian restaurant should nail both a white clam sauce and gnocchi, I would probably have given 3.5 stars if possible, but the service pushed the rating closer to 4. Waiter was very, very attentive and knowledgable about the menu. He bordered on a bit overbearing at first, but I'd much prefer that to clueless server. I'm sure we'll return at some point.

Visited recently for first time to celebrate someone's birthday. The food was virtually inedible and the portions were skimpy at best. Lot of plate showing (this is Italian food?) The waiter had an attitude and was inattentive the entire time we were there...bread took a half hour from request. Salad was drowned in vinaigrette dressing with an emphasis on vinegar. Veal and Chicken marsala were awful, as was Seafood Pescatore over linguini. Veal Parmagiana had extremely dark veal, meaning its either very old, bad, or both. I would not recommend this place to anyone and cannot believe some of the reviews on Yelp which make it sound good. Don't think they ate at the same place I did. Never again.

Ate here for dinner with family. I had the salmon, wife the shrimp, both very good and I would recommend. Son's spaghetti and meatballs was so-so. The calamari appetizer and caesar salad were very good. Bread was good. Others in my party enjoyed the steak. But one person who had the veal, another the chicken, did not like their meals. I would return.
(3)Paul W.
Hated the service, liked the food. Ok, the food was so-so. Atmosphere was fine but very loud. A decent place for families with "basic" expectations. As Italian food goes, I wouldn't recommend Villa.
