The food was excellent! Our son just moved into the area and we found this place on instagram, and suggested by a friend of his too. The photos of the food looked amazing and we ordered the rice ball appetizer which was excellent! Our main dishes were great too! Will def be back!

The appetizers were fantastic, we could make up our mind, so we ordered alit of them. Nonas meatballs were our favorite!! We really enjoyed celebrating my mother in laws birthday!! Our waiter never wrote anything down, this was impressive. Thank you for spoiling all of us.
October 2025
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.
