First of all, this place is busy. Don't even think about going without a reservation. It is not fancy. We had a party of five, and we're seated pretty promptly. They were a little slow getting to our drink and food orders, but it was to be expected because of how busy the place was. All of our meals included bread and salad, and some included additional sides. They have a huge menu, and their portions are huge. For example, a serving a spaghetti looks like half a pound. Everybody takes leftovers home. We had a wonderful server, Tammy? And a nice family night out. read more

I have been going to the Villa since 2005. My husband and I love the Italian platter and order it always when we go.On our last visit a month ago , we were so shocked and disappointed with it.We didn't tell the waitress like we should have. It tasted like it was leftovers from a week ago.Even the always fresh bread was stale. I hope this is a one off and not things to come. My son went a week later and he had spaghetti . I asked him how it was and he said terrible, so sad to hear this, what is going on Villa? Is this new ownership? You had a perfect pasta !!! read more

Ordered Italian platter was not fresh, been going there for 15 yrs or so and always get the Italian platter, a month ago it was terrible

Food was okay, if you're stranded on Ford City Road this is where you want to be. Is it take home grub? No. Service was excellent. Ambiance was like being home, in an Italian bar, greeted and getting that midnight snack. read more

I recently had my first experience at Falsettis. We had a party of 8 for a birthday dinner. The service was phenomenal and fast, even though the restaurant was very busy. The portions here are huge. I had left overs for three days! The food is pretty good. I had the veal parmesan and found the veal was a bit crumbly. I also found their sauce to be a bit sweet. This is something I don't mind but might be worth noting for others. My boyfriend had the chicken marsala which was excellent. I would definitely try this place again based on the price, service, and portions alone. read more

This was NOT my first time - might be my 10th - LOL! But there's a reason I keep coming back. The homey atmosphere with the kind souls working behind the scenes. It's a classic and it's somewhere you can always count on! They get busy so reserving may be something to consider! read more

Huge portions! It was Armstrongs Homecoming and the place was PACKED but the service was on point. Our waitress was on tops of things (unfortunately I didn't catch her name) bringing out refills without us asking and clearing away dishes as we finished. This is a restaurant that's been around a long time and known for their large portions. While packed you could still have a nice conversation and the restaurant wasn't too loud inside. I enjoyed my meal, the sauce is sweet which is not my preference but it was good/different. Wish I would have looked at the pictures of others reviews because the menu is large and a lot of things sounded good. My husband also ordered the chicken parm so I could have tried something else and also tried his. The pictures of the chicken bruschetta and chicken penne look amazing. Next time if we are ever back in the area! read more

Falsetti's Villa Restaurant - Chicken Parm with side of spaghetti and asparagus. Also came with fresh Italian bread and a large salad - Italian Near Me - Kittanning, Pennsylvania

Went to my favorite restaurant today and who was disappointed I ordered fettuccine and white clam sauce it dry very little sauce no flavor Does anyone know did the restaurant change on Ownership read more

We absolutely love The Villa!! The food is amazing! The portions are huge! So good we get it every year for Christmas!! The family loves the lasagna!!! The sauce reminds me of my dad's sauce! Highly recommend. read more

I have to start this negative review by being positive ! I've had some of the best Italian food I've ever had @ this restaurant. From chicken parm to lasagna it's always been top notch! This is why I thought I'd give their pizza a try...surely a place with such great Italian classics could do pizza well...sadly, NO!! And out of respect for the former I'll not comment further on the latter ~ read more

The service was excellent. I didn't hate the food although I've had better. I had Chicken Marsala that was pretty bland. The portions are huge, which doesn't necessarily mean that the food is great. Every Italian dish had tons of red sauce on it. I would prefer less. The bread was very good. Salads were good as well as the dressing. I was not overly impressed. I would consider this a working person s restaurant with huge portions of mediocre food.Not that that's a bad thing if that's what you want. I'd rather have smaller portions and higher quality food. read more

One of the nicest restaurants I have ate at. We made reservations because this place is always busy around dinnertime. Service was on point and the food was excellent. Dinners run from $15 and up. I had the linguini white clam sauce, with a salad. The salad alone was dinner size and was served with a loaf of bread. Very large portions served so a doggy bag was a must. Dining room has tables and booths to accommodate the size of your parties. Handicap parking and ramps are available. The ambiance has and Old Italy feeling, charming and rustic. This place has been in business for 54 years, so you know they are doing right by the size portions and prices. I like the fact that you have to pay the the cashier on the way out. It's a must try kind of place. We'll absolutely go there again read more

Everyone makes a big deal about their portions. Let's put that aside for a moment. I ordered veal parmesan. The salad was a great start, and I was excited for my main course. Bread was also a good touch. The Veal was a big disappointment. The Veal was a ground patty with who knows what in it and sauce over it. Hey I don't bitch about prices but if you're going tell me the item is me veal, give me veal, Not some ground up patty. Disappointed overall. It was kind or weird on the 2 sides which were included with the meal, pasta, which I did get. I honestly could not figure out what other side to get, choices were rice and apple sauce. Which really do not compliment veal Parmesan. I ultimately chose rice, which they told me was rice pilaf. The rice pilaf was terrible. It was like one of those prepared side like you can buy at the market. Not worth my drive from Lower Burrell. Wine was just meh, for cab sav. I guess if you give folks big quantities, they are happy. I am not. read more

I've heard great things about the Villa for at least 20 years. First time here. Service was outstanding! Wife and I ordered spaghetti and chicken Parmesan. We also ordered a dry red wine. The side salad was one of the best I've had. The marinara sauce! The sauce! The sauce was on par with a $1.59 jar of marinara that you can get at Giant Eagle. Overly sweet. Did I say sweet?!?!! Chicken parm had a crust that was also too sweet. Not particularly good. Ordered two glasses of Chianti. First was very drinkable. Ordered another and it was atrocious: bitter and stale. Same wine, one glass apart, one good, the other rot gut. $18 on very unenjoyable pricy wine experience. Very huge menu with every variety of dish you could ask for. People rave about the portion sizes. True, but who cares. Better pasta with a jar of Rao's. I'm sure there is enough on the menu to satisfy but we came for the "signature" dishes and couldn't even get consistent wine, glass to glass. it's a one and done for us. Big bill. Left a big tip. But there are better options. read more

Try to get a reservation here in advance, especially on weekends - it's a great place and people know it! the food is amazing, been here many times and never had any complaints - always amazing leftovers. Staff was busy but helpful and checked in on our meal with great timing, very accommodating and helpful. read more

If you are a group of four only one person needs to order. Expect a lake of spaghetti sauce with every meal. I got the Italian Platter and it was better cold the next day. Sauce is sweet, not my favorite, portions are ludicrous. We'll go back to try their salads. The dinner salad we got with our entrees was not a disappointment. read more

This is a unique little spot. I was in town for a meeting and we stopped by to grab lunch. Service was super friendly and you could tell it was a nice local joint. The servings are HUGE. The bruschetta was really good. The salad, came with FRIES!! I was dying laughing, it's HUGE too. If you're in the area def go ahead and give it a shot. read more

i love all The Villas dishes especially the italian platter. the sauce is excellent and the pasta great! i've heard people say it is a pricey spot to eat , but i get at least two meals out of one dinner!the bread is the best and with the large salad is a meal in it self, your full before your entree comes, so go easy on the bread, the servers are very happy to bag it for you! i could go on and on! read more

I would highly highly highly recommend this restaurant. The food is absolutely amazing and the portions are unbelievable. Wait staff is very friendly also.. very reasonably priced and a great atmosphere. read more

A hidden gem in western PA. You can always count on the same delicious meal and lots of it. Came for lunch and always have to smile at the huge grilled chicken salad-Pittsburgh style-with the steak knife in the middle. Service was excellent as always. Ambiance was comfortable! read more

Fantastic Italian food! Well worth the drive. Their marinara sauce is amazing. Eggplant parmesan was phenomenal. Fresh bread and salad with large portions. Ashley was outstanding as our waitress. Highly recommend! read more

The Hungry Detective always hits this spot when I'm in town. Best kept secret in Western Pennsylvania for great Italian food. I usually have the veal parmigiana but this time I went with the eggplant accompanied by angel hair hair pasta. Awesome tasting and the portions were XXXL.....Cold Iron City in a frosted glass and you have a match made in heaven!!! The Italian bread is fresh and partners well with everything. VERDICT: Guilty as sin for doing Italian cuisine right. Bring and appetite and leave room in your car for the take home boxes of leftovers!!!! read more

If you appreciate homemade food, friendly service, and huge portions all set in a family owned restaurant atmosphere, than you have come to the right place. My go to is the Chicken Peperoncino. Angel hair pasta smothered in a tangy white sauce with chicken and just enough peppers to create a bite representative of the dishes name. The good thing is, if you love what you ordered, you'll have enough to take home for another meal. The meal included a generous sized side salad. Plus a loaf of fresh Italian bread for the table to share. Excellent food draws large crowds so I suggest making reservations. Also ordered was the chef salad. A salad large enough to feed four included turkey, ham, eggs, olives, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, green peppers, red onion, croutons & cheese on a bed of lettuce. read more

****AVOID**** I would give less stars if I could but we will leave it at one because the service was good. 1. 5/5 salad that comes with the meal ,.... And thats were it ends... 2. 0/5 chicken parm - Honestly the worst chicken parm ever. Frozen tv dinners would be better and thats because it's exactly what it is. Two frozen chicken parm, soggy, tough, not even real. NOT what I was expecting from an Italian restaurant. Absolutely terrible. Ownership needs to rethink that you can buy bulk frozen food, cook it, and serve big portions. I do not understand how anyone would eat it. Sent it back twice. Cheese didn't even cover it, and its chicken parm... 3. 0/5 marinara sauce - the worst sauce I have ever tasted. It's so sweet it's disgusting. Honestly I just want to stop here on how bad this restaurant is. But avoid this sauce at all costs. AVOID 4. 1/5 meat sauce - there really isn't any meat but it is sauce. Again what ever sugar they had left from the disgusting marinara sauce they must have used in this sauce. It's again sweet and simply gross. They even try the sell it on the menu "Villa sauce". I don't understand how anyone would like this sauce. It's terrible. 5. 0/5 Wine bar? They have every wine but not brand. So I'm guessing it was house wine out of a barefoot bottle. Didn't even try it but sounded gross. 6. 2/5 meatball - not good, it's big but doesn't have any taste at all. Would not order. I had to cover it parm cheese just to eat the only thing I ordered that was edible. And its covered in that disgusting sweet sauce. AVOID 7. 1/5 Gnocchi - frozen, NOT homemade, out of a bag. Terrible, chewy, doughy, who in the world would want to eat it. AVOID 8. 2/5 spaghetti - cheap noodles, tasted like great value brand from wal mart. Not good and covered I'm terrible sauce. AVOID. 9. 1/5 meat ravioli - simply awful. Not homemade. Beef tasted like dog food, but not the new expensive kind, like the original. AVOID 10. Recommend the ownership rethink what Italian food is, I can't believe people eat here. I am thinking it's because it's local and maybe locals love it. I'm originally from the area(40mins away), but never tried it. My review might be aggressive but it's completely accurate. If from out of town, AVOID at all cost. read more

Falsetti's Villa Restaurant - Chicken parm, spaghetti, gnocchi, meatball - Italian Near Me - Kittanning, Pennsylvania

All it took was one wrong turn and we were lost with poor/no cell reception. It was my fault should have updated my GPS. Switched to Google Maps and got there in 1 piece. Good sign a full parking lot and bustling takeout parking. Thankfully, the hostess after multiple dropped calls held our reservation. Highly recommend reservations. It was a hot day and the cold beer in a frosted glass hit the spot. Extensive menu from sandwiches to lobster tails. We ordered wedding soup and french onion soup as starters. The french onion soup came out piping hot. The wedding soup with homemade meatballs, large chunks of chicken, and freshly cut vegetables was tepid. Chelsea (our excellent waitress) brought it back out piping hot ... and it was delicious. The house salad was impressive even with head lettuce. Croutons, green & black olives, green peppers, chickpeas, purple onions, and cherry tomatoes created quite a house salad. Veal Milano, veal parm, and lobster ravioli were our entrees. HUGE portions - took home lots of leftovers. One of the was sides especially good ... homemade apple sauce. Can't tell you last time we had homemade applesauce. HUGE portion took rest home. A local gave directions back to Route 28 ... right out of parking lot ... right at gas station ... left at T ... couple miles to 28. (Um over an hour to get there - less than 30 minutes to get home.) Family friendly. Lots of multigenerational groups. I believe I saw a party room or a second dining room. The waitresses were busy. Tables were turning over and quickly bussed by teenagers. We will be definitely returning. Thanks again to the hostess who took our calls and Chelsea our waitress. read more

the popularity of this place totally shows how badly the area is hurting for a decent restaurant. it is old and shabby inside. no ambiance. you can feel the springs in the booth seating and yet they charge what i feel is outrageous prices for this experience. they do give you hearty portions. maybe if you just hit lunch it would not be so bad. i guess it's just nostalgia that keeps it going. i ordered roast beef. i did not care for it. salad was really good!!! read more

With COVID-19 spiking, I was disappointed to see most of the staff not wearing their masks covering their nose. We all know that not covering moth and nose is endangering yourself and people around you. Indoor dining is the highest risk and for a restaurant not to follow CDC regulation s isasking to be closed down. After asking the staff to cover their noses, I was given dirty looks and in defiance one even pulled her mask down farther. I have always enjoyed eating at The Villa, but, will no longer dine in the high risk Villa... read more

I stopped for dinner after work one day. A very friendly bar tender. I ordered the villa casserole. It was horrible. Rotini pasta with a little sauce with two spicy meatballs that were burnt. All covered with a huge amount of tasteless provolone. I left 90% of it there. This was really awful. read more

I've been eating at the Villa since I was a baby, 45 years! The food in exceptional and anyone will tell you that. I want to take a minute to thank them for this past Tuesday night. We called to order takeout at 745, they were closing at 9. Once our call got to the bar they explained due to staffing shortages they couldn't take our order, they were too busy and the staff working was at their limit. We understood and hung up to call elsewhere. Within 10-15 minutes the Villa called us back and said they were getting caught up and could take our order if we still wanted. We hung up on the other restaurant and placed our order. I respect them for looking out for the staff they have and caring about them. I appreciate them calling us back just as much!!!jaime_r read more

While traveling through town on a work trip, I stopped here with two colleagues for a late lunch. It was about 2:30pm and the parking lot was full so we took that as a sign of good food in our future. We walked into the restaurant side and were quickly greeted then sat at a table. Our waitress was nice but not the most friendly and she didnt check on us much, hence the one star being removed. BUT the food was fantastic!! I had the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce and it was the best vodka sauce that I have ever tasted. Soooo good. My coworkers had a chicken salad that was enough salad for 3 days of lunch in a row and the italian sampler with spaghetti, manicotti, ravioli and lasagna. After hearing him rave over the lasagna, we each stole a bite and it was delicious. I hope to be back in town sometime soon to taste test more of the menu read more

We went for dinner today and it was rather busy. The hostess asked if we had a reservation. We did not. We asked how long of a wait. She said there were 6 groups on the list. What she failed to mention was they were fully booked with reservations and those groups were seated prior to walk in. Totally understandable but definitely need to know info. Unfortunately we didn't learn this info until we waited an hour and then walked out. We won't be back. read more
