All around excellent. Tiramasu was amazing. Mushrooms/Onions slice was amazing. As was the pepperoni sausage slice. Soft and crunchy combined. Excellent

We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day dinner at this restaurant. The atmosphere was romantic with smooth R&B music. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, and the food arrived promptly despite it being a busy night. Every dish was delicious, highly recommend for any date night or celebration.

My favorite dish is the Penne Vodka with grilled veal. I also love the MARGHERITA<br>pizza is excellent. The atmosphere has a cool vibe. The service is outstanding. I have been coming here for over 14 years. My kids love this place. We celebrated many birthdays and other celebrations🙏👍

I absolutely love La Villa! It’s my favorite Italian place in park slope. Try the pink vodka pasta (the caramelized onions give it a lovely sweetness), the tiramisu, and the prosciutto arugula pizza. I’m sure other things here are very good, but these three are so good I have never ordered anything else. We sat in Armando’s section tonight and he was wonderful! attentive and kind!

Response from the owner

Lauren thank you for dining with us we appreciate the kind words we will let Armando know you appreciate the service

La Villa is a sunday night family dinner favorite. My parents found this place in the 90s and is has continued to be one of our absolute go tos for cozy Italian food. We always get a calzone, the ravioli (if they have it), the balsamic chicken, and if we are lucky end the meal with the house made tiramisu. We always call ahead of time if they have any tiramisu left that day because it is what we look forward to most when we go for dinner. Definitely check out the specials as well they are usually a hit!

Very nice place with great service and delicious food. The pizza was delicious, the calamari was crispy and fresh, the veal Parm was okay and the service was friendly and polite. They will be seeing me again.

One of my favorite places in the neighborhood! We been here many times over the years with family & friends & they love it to. My favorite pizza is Prosciutto e Rochetta and for dessert Affogato, you won’t regret it! New favorite is the Fried Calamari & they give you as complementary a focaccia bread which is crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. The staff is super friendly & the food is delicious, amazing with great quality! You won’t regret eating here is a great experience!

12/21/24 back for dinner.<br>I should have read my review first... Ha!<br>I had the Rotini (fusili) Bolognese, it was good, as usual.<br><br>3/29/23 it was a nice day, so we took the walk. I had orechette Bolognese and split a calzone. Yeah still great!<br><br>3/31/22 finally back here for a meal.<br>I had fusili w/Bolognese. It was good.<br>The focaccia is still good as well.<br><br>2018 ? Back for more, pappardelle alla bolognese, it was good.<br><br>2017 ? A very nice place with attentive servers. Really really good food and fairly priced. Several families enjoying lunch while we were there. Somehow my order got mixed up, not a big deal and I was perfectly happy to eat the slightly different dish that was placed in front of me. But our waiter insisted that he bring me the correct dish and gave me the first one to take home. That was nice and I was impressed with both dishes! Good flavors and ingredients. I will certainly return, so, thanks to all there. Please check this place out :)

Freddy was fabulous. He made sure we never ran out of that delicious onion bread. Omg. Best bread EVER!!!!!! We had spaghetti bolognese with meatball entree and penne vodka. Both were outstanding. Short wait time. Super clean. Good music and atmosphere. Cant wait to go back.

Response from the owner

Farrah thank you for the 5⭐️review we will let Freddy know that you enjoyed the service.. happy holidays

Sit down dinner in Park Slope, no reservations required. The food and service was excellent. Our server Victor was great. They offer indoor and outdoor seating.

Been dining here for years before Covid. Nice to be able to have dinner here again since it's been such a long time. The staff was very welcoming & quite attentive. When we arrived it wasn't crowded so was able to sit where ever we wanted. The focaccia bread was amazing as always & our food was incredible as well. Glad to see that hasn't changed & they were able to accommodate several of our requests with our dishes !! As everywhere the cost of dining has certainly increased but I don't mind paying additional for good food & such big portions are absolutely worth it. Disappointing to read previous reviews about the staff, I can only write based on my experience. And they were on target from the moment we walked in !!

Jackie thank you for the kind words<br>our home is your home

We've been coming to La Villa for years as a family and it's still great. The only reason I can't give it five stars is because the table and seats were a bit dirty, they were out of some ingredients, and we had to flag our server down if we wanted him but he was very kind.<br><br>The food was still very good though! The fried zucchini app was amazing as always and I got minestrone soup in a bowl larger than my head which was also very delicious. The bread service is still fantastic and I ate way more bread than I should have. The pasta was good and so was the calzone that was the size of a 3 month old.<br><br>All in all we still enjoy La Villa a lot and will come back again!

Response from the owner

Lauren thank you for the feedback and for the kind words we appreciate your patronage
