" This was a total treat! I’ve been hearing great things about The Villa, so my family and I finally decided to visit for dinner. From the first taste of warm bread with olive oil and hot peppers to our final bites of dessert, we left completely satisfied. I had the salmon special with a side of seasonal vegetables that was cooked perfectly. Staff was friendly and attentive, with a genuine love for the food they served. The atmosphere was charming and reminiscent of family get-togethers that made it all the more special. Definitely one of my new favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" The Villa is a wonderful restaurant that offers a homestyle Italian dining experience. My wife and I celebrate anniversaries there, always enjoying the warm atmosphere and delicious food. This visit, the chicken marsala was delightful, combining tender chicken with a savory mushroom sauce. The only downside was the time it took to get our drinks. Otherwise, everything was fantastic! Well worth a visit if you're looking for authentic Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" My large group had a wonderful experience at The Villa. We made a reservation, and they accommodated us nicely. I loved indulging in their variety of pasta dishes, particularly the penne alla vodka, which was creamy and delightful. Each dish was served hot and fresh, and I appreciate that they used quality ingredients. Even the house salad, which usually is an afterthought in many restaurants, had freshness. Everyone left happy, and we can't wait to come back for celebrations in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked into The Villa, we felt the warm and inviting atmosphere that truly embodies the spirit of Italian dining. The waiter took the time to explain the daily specials and suggest their best dishes. I opted for the lasagna, which was layered to perfection, with plenty of rich cheese. The portion was generous enough that I couldn't finish it all! I also loved the homemade Italian bread served with spicy peppers and oil for dipping. Every bite was filled with flavor, and my husband enjoyed his chicken piccata, which he found delightful. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, making the experience even better. This is definitely a place we would return to on our next visit! Overall, I give it a solid five stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" There are few places like The Villa that have such a rich family history intertwined with delicious Italian cuisine. My visit was outstanding from start to finish—the rigatoni bolognese was wonderfully rich and packed with meat, undoubtedly one of the best I've had outside of Italy. The service was prompt, and the ambiance reminded me of traditional Italian family gatherings. After dinner, I had to try their famous cannoli, which crafted a perfect ending to our meal. We will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try The Villa after hearing so much hype. The atmosphere was warm, and the bread served with oil was tasty. However, my experience quickly turned sour. The marinara sauce in the spaghetti did nothing to impress me—very bland with no freshness. My friend's dish was similarly lackluster. While the service was attentive, it just couldn't redeem the food. I left feeling disappointed and confused by the varying reviews I had read about this place. I'm not sure I’ll return unless I hear significantly better things. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Villa is what you’d want from an Italian restaurant! Cozy and welcoming, the atmosphere makes you feel like you are dining with family. I had the seafood linguine that was swimming in delicious garlic sauce, and my partner enjoyed the ravioli which he raved about. We both left satisfied, with enough leftovers to enjoy again. Their wine selection was great, and the pricing is reasonable for the quality. I can't wait to go back! This place just might become our regular Italian spot. " (*Curated Review*)
