Excellent Italian restaurantThe food is outstanding. So was the service and the menu has so much to choose from it’s hard to make a choice. I love chicken parmigiana and had that it was delicious.
Our experience was below average with the food. The server, Peyton was magnificent! One of the new owners came to our table and we expressed our disappointment with the food. She made our bill acceptable. Maybe it's a new chef? The music from the lounge was WAY too loud. They'll get there, but last night was below par. Oh! The bread and oil was super good!

What a delightful experience from beginning to end. Don't let the unassuming exterior keep you from enjoying a simply amazing place. Upon arriving, we were promptly seated at a beautiful table. The decor was elegant and the atmosphere charming. The live music was a nice touch. Our server, Megan, was attentive and very knowledgeable about the chef's choices for the evening. We ordered the salmon crab cake for our appetizer. We both enjoyed it thoroughly. Our entrees were the Badly Cut Pasta and the Gnocchi special. The Gnocchi was exquisite with the steak being medium rare perfection that melted in your mouth. The real star of the dish was the sauce. Their saucier must be amazing. My husband's dish was quite good as well. Our dessert consisted of the Lemon Cheesecake. Their pastry chef knocked it out of the park. The crust was perfect and the cheesecake was light and flavorful. We will be back again and am genuinely looking forward to it. 5 stars in every aspect.Parking: Large free parking located conveniently on Central Ave.
Professional weight staff and excellent food! We were a little worried that we had booked the wrong place when we pulled up to the location but they did a good job of setting a good atmosphere inside and food was excellent. We will be back the next time we are in town.

J&J Italian Villa, is the place yes it is the place. My friend and I were caught by surprise how great the food and the atmosphere was, take your family, your mate, or your date, the place is great.
I would tell you about the food except we didn't get any. What I can tell you about is the unpleasant experience we had in our first two minutes inside the door. The Hostess acknowledged our reservation and then proceeded to take my wife and I to a four seat table in the center of a completely empty restaurant. We asked very politely if we could sit off to the side at a two seat table, literally two feet away. The response from our Hostess was "we are reservation full." We looked at her with great puzzlement, and her visual response was basically, I don't carethis is where I'm going to seat you. We looked at one another and asked the question is this reasonable, even possibly reasonable? We decided it was not and headed for the door. Our Hostess did not even acknowledge there might be a problem or concern that she she might be able to address. It was very clear she didn't care.

Amazing food, perfect waitress and bar tende. We were a little for our table went to have a cocktai. Nicest bartender, just a very comfortable place. So glad we chose to go here. Thank you for a wonderful evening
This dining wxerpience is amazing! Everything we ordered was delicious !! The salads were fresh, delightful and full of flavor. The steak was perfection !! My husband ordered the sauce in the side and he said the steak was so perfect he didn't use the sauce! The shrimp in brandy cream sauce was the best I've ever eaten! Love love love this place !

To be clear,the food was fantastic. The gravy had just a tad to much red pepper. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star experience. Everyone has an opinion right. So it's absolutely a great place to have authentic Italian cuisine. Service was spot on. The owner has a great thing going!

We had a 5 pm reservation for VALENTINES weekend 2/17/25. The waitress must of been new because we ran out of bread and she never refilled it and I ran out of water! Once the food came out an hour later it was very tasty but way over priced! I had stuffed Lobster tail and my wife had Lobster Rigatoni. I drank water she had 1 tiny mixed drink! The cost was around $180 for two people! The owner did come by and helped keep my table clean and was very helpful! I will say food is high everywhere. We will come back but I will need to save up ?
My husband and I both had the baked lobster rigatoni and it was fabulous. Bread with dipping oil was brought immediately. The rice balls are also delicious. Waitress was very attentive. The gentleman that was there, not sure if he was owner or manager, was also attentive. We finished off with lemon Bundt cake and lemon blueberry cheesecake. Magnificent! I'm going back for sure. Don't believe the guy who posted that not enough food. He's full of sh. We had doggie bags to go home. Well worth the experience.

We had a very nice time here. They had live music which set a romantic tone. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our server made good recommendations for our appetizer and salad. Sadly, we didn't take her advice on the entry and chose the spaghetti and meatballs. This was a poor choice on our part and would not recommend. It was so bad we could not finish it. That being said, we had lemoncello cheesecake that made for a nice ending. Service was a bit slow, but it was Friday night and or server had large parties as well as us. We would go back, but would not order anything with their red sauce.

Our supper was great , the Badly Cut Pasta was delicious and the clams had a sauce that you want to drink (so good). In the lounge we had the beautiful voice of Brooke Martin performing a variety of songs. Wonderful evening
Payton was an excellent server. Food was excellent. The owner even made an off menu appetizer for us (ask for the cheese bread). Background music was fun and sweet. We will be back!
