    VILLA ARTIGIANO has improved every time I go there. The service was excellent tonight as was the food. There were 4 of us and we had mussels red sauce- superb; burrata excellent; Caesar salad - very good; veal chop-super;chicken parm- top notch; bronzino- wonderful and pasta Nero- very very good. We had a fine lemon cello sorbet and a super strawberry cheese cake. Overall a most most pleasant dining experience despite the place being packed on a Saturday night. We will definitely be back and soon . KUDOS!

    Food was delicious! Filet mignon was cooked perfectly, shrimp cocktail was also amazing. Our Server Lynn was icing on the cake! She was absolutely lovely and attentive. It was Valentines Day so a Violinist was serenading the guests in the front of the restaurant! It was beautiful, we also received a long stem rose upon departure. The restaurant was overall beautiful. The drinks, food, and service was fantastic. My husband and I look forward to returning!

    The ambience and the food was delicious. The penne pasta and the mushroom risotto with shrimp was out of this world. The calamari was one of the best calamari that I’ve had in a long while the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. I wished my eggplant Parmesan was a little bit Center, as I saw the chicken Parm was very flat. That’s just how I like it. Our server Clint was exceptional. I would definitely tell people to visit this restaurant and I can’t wait to return myself. The BYOB was perfect.
