Villa Tronco Italian Restaurant

If you have trouble with basic spaghetti and meatballs, then it may be time to face the reality that this restaurant is just living off of it 80 years ago old history. Very disappointed with a plate of angel hair, which was supposed to be regular spaghetti and two tiny meatballs that were obviously just beef and no other mixture . Very sad by the lack of concern by waiter / front of the house.

My family and I visited on a Thursday night, which is live music night. It was very busy and we were seated in a smaller room where we couldn't hear the music. It was so busy that our service was lousy. After the food was dropped off the server never came back to see if everything was ok. Our food was lukewarm and it took forever to get it fixed. The moral of the story is don't go on Thursday if you're not going for the music!!

Wow, best service and food for a reasonable price. This is the real deal!

Delicious as always!

I love everything about this restaurant!

From Joe, to the bartender, to the gentleman setting the tables, and the young folks at the front door - everyone here was going out of their way to make this an exceptional experience - and it showed! Food was delicious, service was top notch, and the atmosphere made us feel at home.

Staple of Columbia. Great meal and great service always

Old School Red Sauce Italian. Was surprised how good the food was coming from someone who has great choices from the Boston area. Big Portions, Quality ingredients and Great Staff. Can’t beat the prices either…
Will definitely eat here again if I ever make it back to town. Wednesday night needs a reservation so you know - we were able to eat at the bar and tables were filling up every minute - Definitely Recommend…

The atmosphere was romantic and intimate, much in the way that I would expect family-owned Italian restaurants of the past to be, complete with warm, floral-patterned upholstery and private booths.

However, this was a family dinner and even though the classiness of this restaurant seemed like it may have not been suited for our 1 and 3 year old, the staff were super friendly and welcoming and embraced our little (and sometimes loud) family.

The food was delicious and I couldn’t help but devour my entire generous portion of piccata with scallops, of which I planned to save half! The fried mozzarella, lasagna, chicken fingers, and fries were yummy too!

We will certainly be back!

Pricey but good... very good!

10/10 my go to date night restaurant with my wife. Recommend setting a reservation because of how popular this family owned and ran restaurant is. Food is top notch;everything on the menu is amazing. Service makes you feel like family. I love this place!

Most unique pizza in America

Top notch food reasonably priced.

Our first time at Villa Tronco was wonderful! The food was delicious, service was friendly. We loved the beautiful old building and Joe was a joy to meet. We’ll definitely return.

Amazing food!! Great ambience and wonderful SC history. The service is fantastic and is willing to help accommodate special requests. Can’t wait to come back.
