The chicken tenders were my favorite--they were crispy, juicy, and didn't taste frozen like they do at a lot of places. The Polish dogs were really good too. The owner was also very kind to me and my daughter before we left, which I really appreciated. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it was pretty warm inside, especially with the hot weather and hot food. Other than that, we had a great experience and would definitely come back. Should've ordered their Italian ice cream it looked delicious

This is my first ever yelp review, and it saddens me that I had to write it. I am not one to…read morecomplain, but I feel so upset that I let my family down on Christmas Eve. I ordered fried calamari and baked clams from Villa Brunetti. I make them every year, but this time I hosted at home and didn't have the means to make all the seafood. It was a total disappointment. I received a shallow pan half filled with calamari that looked like they were thrown into the fryer with no flour or breading. The baked clams were so tiny and all bunched up together. I paid $140.00 for these dishes, and was left embarrassed to serve inedible products. I have been in the food service industry for over 25 years, and a chef for 16 years, so I know what food is supposed to look like, taste, and presented. (No excuse for the execution). Prior to writing this review, I reached out to the restaurant and the only thing they had to say is that I was the only one who complained, they where dismissive and uncaring and they did not feel like they had to make anything right. I most certainly understand "things happen" One complaint or 100 complaints, that shouldn't matter. To be met with indifference by staff shows a lack of customer service and respect for your clientelle. What happened to making things right? Never again will I order from Villa Brunetti or will I attend their events.

Alyson listened to all of our questions and concerns with guests' potential needs. One of our guests has severe allergies and Hearty Boys was well aware, ensuring our guest was well take care of, providing a delicious meal and not missing out! The food was delicious and we received raved reviews from our guests! A huge priority for us was that the food was hot. We all know that wedding food could either be cold and/or not flavorful, but that was not the case here. The presentation was also wonderful! Luckily, Hearty Boys has worked in our venue (Artifact Events) countless times and they were a well oiled machine. Even the venue walk through with Alyson blew me away; every detail was discussed, even the drinks for the VIPs and she made sure the bridal party and parents' needs were addressed weeks before the wedding. On the day of, everything was orchestrated perfectly. As the bride and groom, we also had our own server (Scott) and he was incredible! The staff was attentive to all of my guests' needs and it was great to see everyone so happy with all details. My friends even commented about how professional the food delivery was to every table. You should absolutely book Hearty Boys for your event. They know what they are doing and you will be happy with their service!

Just for ease, the banquet hall is located on the east side of River Road. Very easy and close to I-294. Close to the airport if that helps. It was a luncheon served family style which I personally like as one is able to select their own food and as much or little as they want. They served a beef dish, chicken dish, and pierogi for main dish selections. Tasty, ample and no complaints. The hall was roomy and clean and the servers were very pleasant. I did not go up to the second floor but it looked like there were smaller event rooms up there. Plenty of on site parking and valet was not needed. I am not sure if that service is even offered.

She over charged me by $100, my sister by $131 and my brother by $142. We called her out on it and she proceeded to argue with us saying she was right. We had to do the math in front of her four different times because each time she would go back to change the bill it was wrong still. I was so fed up and couldn't find a manager. I asked for the tip to be removed or reduced because of it and I was told no. Then on top of it they charge you a 5% fee to use credit card. It's not posted anywhere not do they inform you when making a reservation. Over all it was a waste of time a horrible experience. Not sure if they thought we were stupid because we were the only other non Polish/ukraine family there but never ever again. PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COST.
