Our meals were excellent! The grilled eggplant appetizer was the best we've ever eaten. Chicken picatta and the blackened shrimp and scallops Alfredo were top of class. Specially cocktails were unique and blended to perfection by their expert mixologist. A wonderful evening shared with dear friends enhanced by attentive service and wonderful food

Went and a wonderful dinner Friday night before mothers Day . They managed to fit in our party of 7 even tho they had a wedding party going on that night. The food was great as always! I had my heart set on the gnocchi with vodka sauce, my favorite!!! They ran out of gnocchi. Unfortunately, you need to get there on a day they don't have a huge wedding party in front of you.. lol, regardless, I ordered the ravioli with vodka sauce and shrimp.. it was delicious!! Highly recommend for great Italian in Brevard County!

Came from Boston. Being Italian, We're spoiled with great Italian food so to compare this to that wouldn't be fair. The service was good, food was not what we get up north. Red Sauce was very acidity. The scalapini sauce was like mashed potato gravy. We expected better food.

First time visit for our anniversary on a Friday evening. Everything was top notch. Our server was attentive and friendly. Both of our meals were served within a very reasonable amount of time. Pasta was perfectly cooked. The alfredo sauce was rich and thick. The chicken parm was flavorful and tender. Yes, it was a little pricey but this isn't Olive Garden. Will definitely return.

While being seated the hostess quite rudely informed us that our table had a second seating so basically dine and leave please. We dine out at least five times a week and have never been given the bums rush before. That being said it took 20 minutes to get bread and water at the table, so much for rushing. We ordered a whipped ricotta appetizer which was described as having aDRIZZLE of honey and coated nuts on top and sounded different and delightful. When it arrived it was drowned in honey and nuts and so sweet it was barely palatable. I ordered the veal saltimbocca and was extremely disappointed, two bites and I was finished. The veal was extremely tough and difficult to slice with a knife and the marsala sauce was terrible. The other meal was chicken rollatini which was supposed to have been stuffed with ricotta and there was no stuffing at all, the chicken was drybut she did compliment the red sauce. We won't be returning.

Flavor of the food was good but $25 for the gnocchi and $20 for the steak on top. Not worth it. Service, meh. Really wanted it to be great but it was good, at best. Disappointed.
Amazing food. Make sure to make a reservation as they are super busy.

This is the little hidden Italian gem in Cocoa Village. From the moment I stepped through the doorway the aroma hit me as though I was in my grandmother's house. Always a good sign. The food is outstanding and the most authentic that I have had in Florida in the six years I have lived here. Coming from a big Italian New York family and having had a career as a chef, this place gets my top rating. All of the starters are good and you will notice lots of reviews for the calamari which is always excellent. The pasta dishes are all outstanding but the filet mignon marsala was the deal breaker for me. I thought that this was just a perfect dish and I've never seen this anywhere on anyone else's menu. Definitely order a craft cocktail or one of the many excellent bottles of wine. Attention to detail is definitely on the menu here. Do not leave without having dessert I highly recommend the tiramisu. As I type this I realize that I just can't wait to go back the food is that good. Excellent staff, good job everyone.

My son had just turned 24 and we are fairly new to Florida. Dr. B. told us me about the teramasu at this Villa and I had just gotten out of the hospital for medical issues. We went in and asked for a dessert to go. I was like on no, the good doctor didn't tell me about reservation only. Yet these beautiful workers and boss let my very shy son have a teramasu to go. We also thew in cannolis and chocolate moose. Thank you,! My father had passed away just that day on my sons birthday and we were underdressed and I was trying to have him have a wonderful day. My son has asberger and the hostess told him happy birthday. It is the 15th of April today and my son is still talking about the delicious desserts and pretty, nice hostess gal. Plus the boss who let us buy the sweets on one of the worst days of my life but the best birthday for my boy... This is not something they do and just that day at that time this establishment went above and beyond. We will never forget and I am telling all my people about this wonderful restaurant and people.
