   The Christmas menu was fantastic! Had the elk sirloin & it was perfect! Tanya the bartender was great fun. We had a wonderful holiday feast.

   Rose was awesome. The food was divine. It was a memorable Christmas. Things were a little slow but with 4 courses, slow was preferable. I loved it!!! I had a wonderful filet and the Cape COD salad.

   When you make Christmas dinner reservations two weeks in advance for eight adults and are required to pre-pay for dinner, you’d expect the restaurant to be prepared. That was not the case. If I didn’t prepay, I would have left. The waitress was certainly nice enough, however she did not have the support she needed to serve a table of eight as well as the other tables she was serving. The restaurant was clearly under staffed. Here’s how the four hour torture went. Arrive, wait fifteen minutes to be seated. Sit down, order water and drinks, wait thirty minutes. Receive drinks, order appetizers. Wait thirty minutes. Finish appetizers and wait thirty minutes to order dinner. Wait forty five minutes for dinner. Seven out of eight dinners served. Wait twenty five minutes for the eighth dinner to be served. Tell waitress we will be taking dessert to go. Wait an hour for boxes for take out and bill. Look for waitress to pay bill. Infuriating! To say the least. Four hours, the food was good, but the service was horrendous making the food seem just ok. The sad part is that the owner won’t see this but if he did, he won’t give shyt. Sad! Needless to say I will not be returning. Ever !

   Hey Ken, my only response is sorry that your waitress ordered a veal instead of a chicken piccata, funny though when I visited your table everyone was happy. Merry Christmas.

   Our party of five went to Villaggio for the first time on Christmas Eve, the only place open for an early dinner. Our server was excellent and made it a fun experience. The place was packed and he was the only server for several parties in our room. He did a great job juggling all of the tables, especially when he could have been home with his family and friends. My hope is that there would be additional servers on a regular night.

   Four of us dined at Villagio last night for the first time. We were seated right away in a lovely room. Our waiter was excellent-funny, smart, on top of everything. All of us were blown away by the food! We had bourbon meatballs, carpaccio, Caesar salad, cod Toscana, chicken piccata, chicken marsala. Everything was outstanding! We'll be back!

   Second time at Villaggio and not disappointed whatsoever. My guests and I were very satisfied with the quality, quantity and selection. The restaurant was warm and festive, not over the top but just right. We will be back….

   This was the first time we came to this restaurant. We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The food was amazing, and the service was great! My only complaint is our table was too small to hold all of our food and drinks (we had 3 people total), and the prices of some foods seemed quite high, especially for the winter (off season) months. We will be back again because of the food and the service.

    From beginning to end our experience was sub par . We paid 59.00 for a Thanksgiving meal that was inedible . The turkey was served with so much fat and skin on it and it looked like they threw just any thing in that was left . The stuffing was not very good . Although the potatoes and cranberry were ok … it did not justify the price of the meal .There was no appetizer or dessert . Our Manhattans were seventeen dollars each and were unbalanced . Too much Vermouth and not enough bourbon . They tasted extremely sweet and not enjoyable . My husband had scallops and they were over cooked and very small . Needless to say we will NOT be returning to this restaurant . There are so many places that are better in the area. Very disappointed .
