About The Village Italian Restaurant

The Village Italian Restaurant is a charming and unassuming spot in Novato, offering a fantastic pizza and pasta selection. The cozy indoor and outdoor covered patio seating provides a lovely atmosphere to enjoy their delectable offerings, including the addictive bread and a great wine selection. Vegetarians can customize their orders, such as the garlic cheese bread without cheese, paired with a side of marinara. The restaurant also serves delicious dishes like linguine al pesto with sausage, and a unique potato-skin-style pizza appetizer. The interior features a gorgeous space with a huge cathedral ceiling, big stout wooden beams, simple decor, and soft lighting that creates a cozy and warm vibe. Despite the prices being a bit higher than expected, attentive service and a calm ambiance make dining here worthwhile, especially for pizza lovers. Recent reviews highlight the freshness and quality of the food, including tasty garlic bread, pesto chips, and the meatball and sausage sandwich, which is praised for its crunchy bread, melted cheese, and flavorful meat. Many guests appreciate the friendly staff and excellent customer service, including quick corrections and discounts. The atmosphere is suitable for both a first date or a family holiday dinner. Guests note that the Italian dishes, such as piccata and parmigiana, are consistently delicious and plentiful, often with leftovers for another meal. The house-made fresh bread and salads are well-liked, and the pear, arugula, blue cheese pizza is a family favorite. The historic building adds to the charming setting, making this place a true gem for its great food and welcoming vibe.
