First and last time , service was ok , piano was music was nice just something about atmosphere should different something was so basic and you pay so much for meal you don’t even offered salad . Chicken parm I can definitely cook better , my noodle wasn’t cook all the way . I ate Italian food much better places.

I had a great dining experience sitting at the bar with two girlfriends. The servers were very attentive and offered great suggestions. The drinks were carefully curated the Espresso Martini was delicious and had a cookie Tiramisu rim. We shared the breaded rock shrimp it was a very generous portion and had a nice crispy texture with a nice blend of flavors. For my main I ordered the chicken piccata the chicken was very tender you could shred it with a fork and the sauce had the perfect savory/citrus flavor. I would highly recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, specialty cocktails, and delicious food.

I had a problem with my bill. They ignored me when I tried to address it.

Perhaps I should wait a day and calm down, but I can’t. I was so disappointed in Villa Palma restaurant. At the beginning, I thought, “Maybe a bad night. Try them again another night.” By the end, I couldn’t wait to be out of there. Poor service was our primary complaint. We were shown to out table. We picked out our dinners before the server ever showed up. I had to ask for a wine menu. He left while we picked out our wine. He came back long after we made a decision. He took our wine, appetizer, and salad order. Then he turned and left without taking our entrée order. He also never told us there were any specials. Had to hear that from a server at another table later. Our bread, appetizers and salads came before our wine ever did. The other server immediately brought wine out at the next table after they ordered. As we ate our appetizers, I was resigned that we would go somewhere else for dinner. Our server came back and asked if we would like to order our entre. I did and was immediately told that the restaurant had no steaks. On a Saturday night? Um, that entre influenced all of our other choices. He suggested lamb, which wasn’t on the menu, but I guess was one of the specials. We both ordered pasta. We would never have ordered salads and appetizers because pasta is so filling, so we left over half of our dinner uneaten. We asked for them boxed. The server took the plates and was gone for so long that I was going to ask the other server if she could check on them. He finally came back with those and then took the wine to be recorked and bagged. Wait again. Really, very little of the 1 ½ hours we were there was devoted to dining. We chose this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion. Will not waste a special occasion here again. On the plus side, they do have their own parking lot! Piano was nice until people were too loud to hear anymore. Food was very average. Wine was actually pretty good. Kept my temper in check!

We stumbled upon this fantastic Italian joint, and let me tell you, it's a flavor haven! The sauce is an absolute game-changer – rich, savory, and just downright delicious. The chicken parm is like a culinary masterpiece, and the calamari? Let's just say I never knew squid could taste so good. Justin was the such an attentive server and recommended some fantastic wine! This place has officially secured its spot as my go-to Italian spot for an unbeatable feast!

I had the linguini with clams with white wine sauce. Tasted good but a little on the salty side. Service was very good the house old fashioned was great. My wife had the wedding soup and it was one of the best she has ever had. She also had Angel hair puttanesca and added blackened shrimp. It, too, was on the salty side but still pretty good.

Terrible experience. Waited an hour after ordering my entree, when inquired from Denise, the waiter, she advised that she was waiting on us to finish appetizers to send order to the kitchen. Such a shame I did not even get to try the main dish.

We had a table of 16 with reservations ahead of time for my mother in laws 70th birthday and Villa Palma did not disappoint!!! From our sever (JUSTIN WAS AMAZING) to the food to the atmosphere it was so lovely. Live piano player and a delicious meal with luxury experience. Can’t wait to come back! The calamari was the best calamari we ever had . Thank you Villa Palma for making her birthday an unforgettable experience

My wife have been here twice. First time we did not have a reservation but they allowed us to sit at the bar. It was a fantastic experience. The bar tenders were great to talk with and were able to guide us through the menus, providing us too notch service. The 2nd time we went, we had a reservation but still asked to be seated at the bar. Again… just amazing service. Amazing food and amazing drinks.

Went to grab a drink with my wife and an appetizer at the bar. The bar tenders were attentive as soon as we sat down. They knew the drinks inside and out and offered many suggestions and alternatives based on our palette. The cocktails were delicious... Well balanced and properly garnished. The calamari and mussels were delicious. The live piano music was also a plus. One of the few restaurants in town that make me forget I am in Florida... Feels like I am in Philly or NYC.
