An excellent experience, well prepared Italian cuisine, well presented and complimented by appropriate and professional service. The ambience of this classic inn was highlighted by the spacing of the tables in the various grounded floor rooms.

If you enjoy fine dining Italian, Villagio offers an experience you will enjoy. Menu offers plenty of choice. Last night our table had Lasagna, Spaghetti Bolognese and Chicken Fra Diablo. They were excellent and stars of the show.

Definitely going to have to add this restaurant to our date night rotation! Service was exceptional! Our waitress was amazing with answering questions and helping us decide what we wanted to try. I had the filet, it was exceptional! Perfectly cooked and seasoned, the potatoes were divine! Cant wait to go back!!

What a great place for a nice intimate dinner with my wife for her birthday. The food was very good. Our server Kelli was wonderful. She was attentive and charming. This is a go to place with that special someone no matter what the occasion.

Our group of six went to Villaggio with high hopes, but ultimately left disappointed. The staff was friendly and the ambiance was passable, but aside from that, the place is a faux fancy, overpriced disappointment. SPEED One of the biggest complaints was the speed of service. When our entrees finally arrived, we asked for three things: a bottle of wine, some fresh bread and a silverware setting (to replace one that fell on the floor.) We were nearly finished eating by the time the wine, bread and silverware materialized. We should have cancelled the wine because it wasn't even the right bottle. Same vineyard, but a different varietal. To their credit, they corrected the mistake, but we were finished eating by the time the replacement bottle arrived. TEMPERATURE We suspect the food was sitting a long time because when the food arrived, it was barely warm, and the center of my lasagna was cold. And it wasn't just one plate with temperature issues. The lasagna, lobster ravioli special and chicken piccata were all cold. We would have said something to the server, but she didn't reappear until we had finished eating. VALUE Everything was extremely expensive for the portions, quality and service we received. For a $28 modest-sized, cold lasagna, you'd think they could at least throw in a side salad or vegetable. Lastly, our group was celebrating a milestone birthday, for which the server was "preparing a surprise dessert." I'm not sure what happened, but it never showed up. We didn't bother saying anything because we didn't want to wait an hour before the server returned. I should also mention the restaurant acknowledged the wine mixup - which was an honest mistake - but did nothing to recover the service failure. This was my first and last time visiting Villaggio. To the Dedman family who is "shepherding the restaurant into a new era," I hope you consider this feedback a gift and adjust accordingly.

Our waitress was Gary, and she was just great. We were seated in a little room that was a sun porch. Very charming spot. The food was simply excellent, but we must also say that the music made the cuisine even better. GREAT wine selection too. Make a reservation for yourself! We recommend the carbonara and the chicken piccata. Wonderful!

What a wonderful dining experience. We were in town for a business meeting and enjoyed a delicious dinner. I'd strongly suggest the Glass Slipper cocktail. I enjoyed a Caesar Salad, the Lobster-Stuffed Ravioli special, and Tiramisu. My colleague had the Veal Parmesan. Both were delicious! We had adequate service. Wine was really good. The lighting, seating, and table set were nice. Warm and cozy feel. It's pricey but very good. Would definitely dine again.

When deciding to bring wine to Villaggio, DO NOT rely on the wine menu on the Villaggio web site. The restaurant augments its wine list at some point beyond the wine menu listing, which of course is not known by a diner. The result, and embarrassing and costly situation when seated with guests. The remedy of course was rather simple if chosen, but unfortunately, it was passed over by restaurant management.

We requested Alex for our server. She is always attentive and friendly. She suggested the special of day: lobster ravioli. Delicious. We also had our favorite, Pasta Boulinaise. Wine choices are well rounded. Staff always professional yet very warm and inviting. Lots of history to this beautiful restaurant/Inn.

Villlagio made my wife's birthday wonderful. Food was its usual fabulous, the service impeccable without being intrusive. Wish the ownership could get their other outlets, the Club various dining rooms, to have this quality meat and other products. Get a commissary facility for all the outlets!!! It ain't that hard folks!!

We wanted to reserve the restaurant for my GFs birthday but they were packed. So we stopped in and were able to sit at the bar and ended up with a WONDERFUL time. Our server Sarah was amazing and on point. The food was great, service exceptional, and atmosphere incredible. We so enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend it. We already have reservations for a valentines dinner!!!

Cute restaurant, good service and drinks. The food was just ok, and I know it's an Italian place, but it would nice to have a few more entrees (and less pasta). They used to have a duck that was very good.
