We have dined at Villa Italia several times in recent years and have never been disappointed. The food and service are outstanding, and the atmosphere is comfortable and relaxed. This is our favorite Italian restaurant between Boston and New York, and so convenient for those staying at the Hampton Inn. Highly recommended.
