" I brought my family here for a special occasion, and we were impressed by the quality of the food. Everyone ordered different dishes, and there was a collective approval at the table. The meatballs are splendid; they have a homemade taste that hits the spot. Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Definitely a place I'd recommend to friends looking for a comfortable spot with great Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited the Village Tavern after hearing about the authentic meatballs. I was rather disappointed. Although I could see they were fresh, the seasoning was a bit bland for my taste. The service was average—nothing too bad, but not stellar either. My friend had the chicken marsala, and she enjoyed that very much, so perhaps I just hit a dish that wasn’t for me. The atmosphere is welcoming, with friendly locals gathered around. I’d be willing to give it another shot to try different items from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about the Village Tavern! We tried several dishes, including their famous homemade ravioli, and I can confidently say I've never tasted anything quite like it before. The staff is incredibly friendly, adding to the homey feel of the place. They are also big on portions, so it's worth every penny! Perfect for family gatherings or just a cozy dinner date. I will definitely be coming back soon to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried the Village Tavern several times and it has never failed me. The food quality is consistently high, which is hard to find. I particularly love their garlic and oil linguine—it is always perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The service is excellent; I’ve had the same waiter multiple times, and he remembers my preferences. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy, but do be prepared for the buzz, especially during weekends. Portions are generous, ensuring that you often leave with leftovers. All in all, a wonderful place to share a meal with family or friends. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience here. On one hand, the food was delicious, especially the fresh bread served with peppers. On the other hand, service was slow, and I had to wait quite a while to be seated despite having a reservation. Sometimes the atmosphere gets a bit too crowded, so if you're looking for a quiet evening, this might not be the place. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and would try it again during less busy hours.

" I absolutely adore Village Tavern! A perfect spot for authentic Italian classics! Tried their shrimp risotto last week, and it was creamy and so flavorful that it made my taste buds dance! The wait time was a tad longer than I had hoped, but the ambiance was so inviting that it made up for that wait. I can’t recommend this gem enough. I already plan to bring my family next time to share the joy of great food together! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for vibrant Italian food, then Village Tavern is the place to be! Their pasta dishes taste like they've come straight from Italy. I especially loved the spaghetti carbonara; it was rich and creamy. The restaurant was buzzing with laughter, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Slightly lengthy wait, and service could be improved but overall I can't complain too much. I'll certainly return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
