This restaurant is closed. Not sure if it's for now or forever. It was a good place kinda expensive but always enjoyed my meal.

The people saying this place is great probably don’t know what real Italian food is supposed to taste like..felt sick about an hour or so after leaving. Food was not fresh. You’d probably get a better “Italian” meal at Olive Garden, & for less money too. If you don’t want to be disappointed, just stay away from this awful excuse for a restaurant. My friends were so disgusted that they chose this place, especially after we & 2 others became ill from consuming what tasted like spoiled fish. (we did not finish the meal, & much was left on our plates..such a waste of food) Shame on the owners of this place...

Disgusting and Dirty, Saw Roaches and rats running around. Closed now probably due to that.

So glad this DUMP of a restaurant finally closed.They served shitty so called Italian meals that were nothing but complete garbage,A few customers even got food poisoning here too.The place was mostly empty and for good reason.

Sorry to see it close. Villa was one of our favorite restaurants. Nick,the owner and his head chef Sal gave us some great meals over the years. The waitstaff; Ramsey, Walter, Dawn, Dave and all the others were like our 2nd family. After dinner we always sat at the bar with the best bartender in the world, Barbara and always had a great time. We still get to see Barbara who is now working down the road at Bella Vie in Bay Shore. See you there.

Granted, at this time of year we tend to gravitate to waterside destinations but all in all we love the food at Villa Monaco! Fried calamari, baked clams, shrimp oreganata and fettuccine Alfredo and of course Ramsey! All our favorites. We'll be back soon!

We came in for the Lobster special !! My sister and I enjoyed that very much. My Wife had the Shrimp and also enjoyed that. My dad had the Salmon which was a huge portion and cooked perfectly. The service was very friendly and caring, unbelievably attentive. All the portions were very generous, stop by, you won't be disappointed.
Went to dinner tonight with my husband and 2 kids. Service and food were both excellent! The decor is dated a bit but it's like an old school Italian restaurant and I loved the family feel. It seemed like everyone knew each other, the owner, chef and wait staff always checked in and stopped by just to chat about the day to day. It was such a relaxing friendly atmosphere! We shared mozzarella sticks, stuffed meatball and clams on a half shell appetizers and I had the branzino and shrimp with side of penne, husband had the rib eye and the kids are boring they had chicken fingers and fries. All of the food was exceptional, cooked perfectly. We had a nice conversation with our server who was incredibly nice. The service couldn't have been better. Dessert was a cappuccino and tiramisu and my daughter had the raspberry bomb which was sooooo good! Definitely go for a family dinner, we will be back again soon!

If your looking for great Italian cooking I can tell you this is NOT it. This is the worst Italian places I have been to.The Chicken tasted so rubbery like it was microwaved and the sauce had an odd taste to it.We should have known there was a reason for it being empty.So old and outdated inside it was like reliving 1980 all over again.Drive further east to Vinnie's Mulburry street in East Islip instead for a great Italian meal.
