“Walking into "Villa Vinci" on Ballard Ave in the heart of historic downtown Wylie feels like stepping into a well-kept secret. This small trattoria exudes an unpretentious atmosphere that is immediately welcoming, embodying the essence of casual Italian dining. The ambiance, with its aging tables and straightforward setting, might not scream luxury, but it whispers home, comfort, and authenticity.The staff at "Villa Vinci" are at the heart of the experience. Our waiter, Yaya, was a standout, proving that service can make or break a dining adventure. Though his Kurmanji might be better than his Italian, his service was fluent in the universal language of hospitality. Yaya's attentiveness and genuine warmth added a personal touch to our meal, making us feel welcome and part of the family."Villa Vinci" serves up dishes that would make any Italian grandmother proud. I had the eggplant parmigiana, a dish that, in its simplicity, requires a deft hand to perfect. It was sublime; each bite was a harmonious blend of rich sauce, impeccably prepared eggplant, layered over flawlessly cooked spaghetti, all beneath a veil of sumptuously melted cheese that whisked me away to Italy. We left with full stomachs and warm hearts, unanimously agreeing that the experience was delightful.“
“There’s a reason this place has so many great reviews! The food is phenomenal. The service is friendly and they were so kind during our waiting/ordering process. We sat at the bar while waiting for our to go to be red and the sweet red wine that I asked for was delicious! The spaghetti with meat sauce was great without being overly oily like some places can be. The Greek salad has arugula which is CRISP, not wilted at all! The bread is soft with a slight crunch on the top perfect for using to scoop up the bits of meat sauce. My kiddo is who is very particular about her spaghetti LOVED this place! We can’t wait to try more of the menu! We ordered a kids portion meal and it may have been an adult size plate. You get your moneys worth here and it is so flavorful!“
“So I’m pretty tired of the local Pizza Hut service, and I recently switched to Mario’s, their food and service is far betterI’m on vacation so I don’t really care, but the manager from the store just called me 15 minutes before the pizza was supposed to be here and telling me what’s going on and letting me know that he might be about 10 or 15 minutes late, I was like your guess that’s more than your competitors do stick with Mario ‘s“
“Amazing food and drinks. Customer service exceptional. Ambiance cozy and trendy. We came on a Friday night. Highly recommend having reservations. Dinner started with the appetizer of calamari & zucchini. Followed with the Cacio E Pepe Pasta w/a side of grilled shrimp. (Yes...add the shrimp) and the Bucatini All' Amatriciana Pasta. Both were so good that I forgot to take pictures. Maybe my next visit I'll remember the entree pictures. But I live for good drinks and dessert...HA! They did not disappoint.“
“The pizza here is AMAZING!!! Everything about this place is awesome! I am originally from Chicago and have been struggling to find even half way decent pizza since I left. This is the closest thing to home ❤️. And I love the messages on the inside of the lid ?“
“The food was delicious. I think my dish was called Chicken Piccata. It had a very flavorful lemon flavor and there were 3 pieces of chicken! My husband's dish was called Rowlett something I don't remember but it had an excellent cream sauce and the breaded chicken was great! There was complimentary garlic parmesan bread. And we got to choose the salad with our meal. I took the Caesar salad and there was a lot of shaved cheese on top, so good! My husband had the house salad which had a variety of things in there. Overall, great meal for the price. I would go again.“
“Great food and great service. We went in to carry out pizza and ran into long-time friends whe were dining in. Great family-friendly atmosphere. And the pizza is definitely not the greasy stuff that comes out of some of the chain restaurants. Fresh ingredients!“
“Met some friends for dinner last Friday night and we had an amazing time. We were seated quickly, even with a party of 6 people, and from then our server Lindsey and the rest of the staff took great care of us. Our drinks, appetizers, and everything else for that matter, came out very fast. We never had to ask for any refills for drinks or anything else. The way the whole staff worked together was amazing, from the manager helping run food/drinks and visiting tables to the support staff clearing tables quickly. And the food was delicious, everything we had from appetizers to desserts were very good. It was a great first visit and it definitely won’t be the last.“
“How could anyone give this less than a 5 star? I've never tasted better pasta in the US at such affordable prices. I love this concept of delivering just good food without paying for the ambiance / environment of a high class italian sit down restaurant. I ordered the Tortelli Al Tartufo which was delicious - the pasta was so tender, delicate, and elegant. I also ordered the polpette (meatballs) and that proved to be an amazing appetizer. With their efficient lids, I brought the rest of my tortelli to go home and it proved to hold up well in the microwave. I gotta go back and try the rest of the menu! The staff was also very bright and cheerful. I would just recommend having some menus more at eye level rather than craning one's neck to look up. There's a menu at the register but that's about it.“
“First of all when you walking in the door the customer service was amazing! The food was great! I had the buffalo 14 inch pizza the chicken was so flavorful. I picked up an individual piece of chicken and ate it, and it tasted like smoked chicken. Definitely not frozen chicken. I also liked the fact that the buffalo sauce was not over powering. A friend of mine had the five meat with jalapenos added. He said he wanted a lot of jalapenos and they did not disappoint. Granted he did get double jalapenos and it was a 3$ extra charge but like I said they did not disappoint. My wife got the Manhattan and added pineapple. She did say the pineapple had a funny taste to it so she just picked them off. But still overall she was satisfied with her pizza. Garlic knots phenomenal!!!!!! Me and my family will absolutely be coming back to this place.“
