Last night I ordered a pizza for pickup from La Villetta. Somehow mistakes were made & I was given the wrong one. I consider this more my fault for not checking it before leaving the restaurant but when I got home I called them & they sent their delivery person to my door with a fresh pizza. This kind of service is really not common & I really appreciated it. After all of that I sat down & ate an amazing pizza I highly recommend it. Toppings plentiful, well done like I asked. Will definitely be going back. Reasonable prices in this economy too make it extremely worth it.

August 2025 update: the picture was added to show how perfect my pizza was tonight. This restaurant never disappoints me!!!

I've been to the restaurant twice so far. Last year, the food was a letdown, but this year it was good.
For starters, I had the soup; a chicken broth with vegetables (tomato & a couple of others). It was very average. Table d'hôte is like 2/3 extra dollars so its whatever.

I ordered the table d'hôte rigatoni with a meatball. It was good, the sauce was a bit undersalted, but the herb mix in the tomato sauce was nice, & when combined with the melted cheese, it made for a tasty combination. The meatball, however, was a bit overwhelming, slightly dry on the inside, & lacking in flavor. Not bad overall, but I would have preferred smaller meatballs with a better cooking method. It seemed oven-cooked rather than pan-fried. Still, it was enjoyable to get a bite of meatball with the rigatoni & cheese would recommend.

My girlfriend had the ravioli. She said she liked it, but I tried one & I'm pretty sure it was frozen. Not a bad option, but I'm not sure I'd pay $25 for it. The sauce was either vodka sauce or some kind of cream sauce, & it was good, but I wouldn't recommend the meat ravioli.

My friend had the carbonara. He said it was good & well-seasoned, but I didn't taste it so I can't say for sure.

The lamb rack looked amazing. It came with spaghetti, & I would definitely order it if I liked lamb (I don't). My friend said it was cooked exactly to his request, with a well-seared crust that trapped the juices inside, just waiting to be released when cut open. Delicious, according to him.

The most underrated dish here is probably the pizza. I forgot how good it was & didn't order it this time, but maybe I should have. It's more of a'fancy' pizza (the kind you eat with a fork & knife) but it looks great: not too oily, generously topped, rich in flavor, with low cheese content on a crispy flatbread-style crust.

Overall, this restaurant is a solid spot to try on a weeknight if you live in the area. I wouldn't drive across the city for it, but you'll likely get a table right away, be promptly served, & enjoy good food, making for a solid 4/5 experience.

Anyone wanting to know what it was like to get served in a restaurant in the 1960's should go eat in this place. The invoice they give you at the end of your meal is written by hand. The waitress looks like she is in her 70s or 80s. The place needs a total remodel & the menu needs to be updated. The pizza was under cooked & when this was brought to the owner's attention, he became totally defensive, like all restaurants did in the 60's. Needless to say this was a very disappointing experience.

I typically do not write a review unless it's really warranted especially one on new year's day. I had a 100$+ order with pasta & pizza. The food was tasty, flavourful & warm when they were delivered. My feedback was that the pizza dough appeared & tasted"not fully baked". I'm not sure if it was just an unfortunate coincidence but I had a nasty stomach ache & was upset after eating the linguini saumon fumee.

If there was ever a hidden gem to be found, this is one of them. This is a local family run restaurant where you come for a home cooked Italian meal when life is too busy for a home cooked Italian meal. Their pizzas are amazing. My favourites are the pizza panzone & the linguini primavera with chicken. My kids could eat the fettuccini alfredo & tortellini gigi every day. We often order group meals for the office from here & we still can't figure out how food can be delivered so hot & so fresh. See you again soon La Villetta!

It's the first time I've been here & they served me even though it was Monday & I was absent-minded & passed by because my little son wanted pizza. Thank you very much for serving me & welcoming me so warmly, even the pepperoni pizza was delicious

Great service, good prices, ok food. Starter Bread with spices - tasty - had to ask for olive oil for dipping Calamari - generous portion - flavour was ok (egg flavour in batter) - sauce was good Pizza (Americana) - small portion - dough undercooked - felt like the same dough as the starter bread - disappointing Bistecca (Rib eye) - good flavour - thin cut so it got overcooked - pasta that came with it was ok Wanted to try the tiramisu (as suggested by other reviewers) but had to run to catch a show. Overall it was ok, but not wow.

This is my other account, my main account is criticalunity... I had gone to the dentist & didn't have any money on me & was very hungry & was given a delicious sandwich. I plan on coming back when I have money as the pizza looked delicious.

This place is an absolute gem! They've been around for over 30 years & man oh man. Best tiramisu & minestrone soup I've ever had. Took my mom & she loved her pizza. Service was top notch & atmosphere made it feel like I was home. Can't wait to come back.

This neighborhood restaurant is run by a family. The mother does the cooking & she does that extremely well. I had the best gnocci I've had in a long time, the others had a pasta with scallops & spinach, & the fourth had a pizza. Everyone was really happy with their choice. They also have great desserts; tiramisu & mini-canoli, & they were both yummy. Nice fresh homecooked food.

I went in only for a dessert, & what a surprise! My friend & I took the tiramisu & the creme caramel, with cappucinos... what a delight! I have NEVER tasted better tiramisu NOR creme caramel, both were absolutely gorgeously generously delicious, out of this world!

& from the smell of classic oven-baked italian pizza, I will definitely go back to try the dinner menu. The ambiance is so friendly, amazing staff & the restaurant is family owned... What a hidden gem!

Spoke to other customers at another table, they were regulars & they told me that EVERYTHING is amazing there, especially the pizzas & the lasagna, & the penne sauce rosée... Oh well, I will go back!!

Makes me wish I had not eaten before going there...
