bad version of Olive Garden or other chains

I was anxious to try this place bc of all the reviews. I am originally from Long Island and haven't enjoyed Italian food on the outside since I've been home. Yet, this place had great reviews so I gave it a chance. First off, even with a reservation I waited an hour. An hour to be seated at a restaurant with a SALAD BAR! No salads on the menu...not a classy place by any means. Who still does the salad bar unless it's a fast food restaurant?? Secondly, the food was bad. We had to pour salt for flavor on the pasta and my cousins chicken was rubbery. The service was beyond poor. Waitress barely came around and when she did we were rushed. So many better places to eat!

Great place for the best Italian food

My family and I went to the Villa for Father's Day. The food was absolutely delicious. We started off with some appetizers such as the Hot Antipasto and Brushetta. They were wonderful. We ordered steaks (which were cooked to perfection and very tender) and seafood dishes which were also cooked to perfection and and quite tasty. The brasciole was like Mama's cooking. I have been to many Italian restaurants, but this is Number One in my book!!! Atmosphere was great. Very friendly wait staff and Mr. Valenti walked around the restaurant wanting to know how our dinners were. We had a nice conversatiaon with the owner (which is not seen to often where the owner takes the time and interest). It was a very lovely Father's Day and thank you to the Villa Valenti. We will definitely be back and bringing friends to join us.
