The fried calamari is my favorite it was perfectly crispy, golden-brown on the outside while tender and flavorful inside but you should definitely try other options on their menu. Good atmosphere and a very welcoming vibe. Service here is amazing too, staff is very friendly and attentive. Good food and good service, I would highly recommend!

Food was good (particularly the fried calamari and stuffed mushroom). I think they need more staff for Saturday dinner service.

The food was excellent and the portion sizes were generous. The owners are always pleasant and do everything they can to make dinner enjoyable. Not many of these "old school" italian restaurants left. You can order from the menu or just tell them what you want and they will make it.

The food was very good. The service was right on target. 2 things I would have preferred was that it wasn’t so dark. I felt like I was in a basement from the 50s and I wish they served alcohol. They did have wine
Which was good. I would recommend this restaurant just for the food alone.

Plenty of seating but feels very cozy. Staff is professional and courteous. The food is excellent. Everything tastes homemade. Highly recommend the chicken country style. Stuffed mushrooms and calamari. We ate too much so we didn't have room for dessert. But next time, will definitely try those as well.

Villa Fiorita has been recommended to me many times by various people. I've been busy going to other places, trendy and modern, so I've hesitated going to such an old-fashioned place. I will admit that I was so wrong to take so long to come to this place. Yes, the aesthetics are lacking, the outside is unpretentious and the inside is rustic and homey. But, what you come here is for the food and the service. I was awed by the genuine warm welcome and the five star service.
The service alone was beyond great, the waiters so attentive and caring that it felt like I was being served in my own home by caring relatives. Yes, its family-owned and operated, so there a level of dedication hard to find in many other places. The atmosphere created here was relaxed - a perfectly slow Sunday feeling. The customers were clearly regulars, everyone familiar with each other, and each table was occupied for a full house.
"Atmosphere is more like a family reunion than an impersonal restaurant." More importantly, you were expected to stay as long as you liked, there was no expectation you should leave as soon as your dessert was done - "Be prepared for a leisurely dinner as they don't turn tables."
As for the food, there was some wait time - the time necessary for fresh food to be prepared for your order. We had the baked clams and the fried calamari. Fresh seafood, you can actually taste the freshness as if the fish had been brough in just that morning. The baked clams were also flavorful, with a bottom sauce that I enjoyed so much I ended up dipping the fried calamari into that sauce. The fried calamari was exquisite, fresh, tender, and crispy. The accompanying tomato sauce for the fried calamari was so good, I enjoyed dipping my bread in it after the calamari was gone. For entree, we ordered linguine with clam sauce and saltimbocca alla romana. The portions were grand and the food was beyond exceptional. The linguine with clam sauce had beautifully fresh clams and whole cloves of baked garlic - scrumptious. The saltimbocca was tender over a bed of green spinach topped with prosciutto and the most amazingly crisp egg.
We didn't make it to dessert - we were too full with their generous portions. Everything was very reasonably priced and so affordable for the quality and portion. So, I will come again to Villa Fiorita and highly recommend this place to anyone who has appreciation for good food and good atmosphere. If you want to be spoiled, desire a leisurely dinner, and appreciate fine Italian dining, Villa Fiorita is the place for you.

This restaurant is like walking into your grandma's kitchen for a good meal. The food is excellent and comes out hot and ready to enjoy. The service is super. If you are looking for a place where the waiter is constantly at your table you are in the wrong place. The service is based on what you need. Laid back, friendly and overall excellent. We love the feel of the place. Just a really great place to eat and enjoy an evening with friends or your better half. A favorite of ours for many years!!
