Server was disgruntled and unpleasant. I guess they don't have to be motivated to provide good service when the 20% tip is automatically added to your bill. Anyway, the food was terrible. Half the of meals were poorly made/seasoned or luke warm. Bread is not fresh like it used to be and if you want more than one slice of bread each--thats an extra charge. Disappointing, but the response was even more disheartening. It should not fall on the customer to come up with a solution to a problem you created.

Nice and warm bread and butter, served in a tomato tin.

Villa Palma is a wonderful spot for dinner, especially if you're looking for a cozy, romantic…read moreevening. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and one thing that really stood out was how the waitstaff worked together as a team to ensure everyone had a great experience. Tyler, our server, was incredibly friendly and attentive. Be sure to make reservations! They open at 5:00 p.m., and because they're located near the beach, the restaurant fills up quickly with both locals and tourists. Three people in our party ordered the Shrimp and Scallop Piccata and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you choose the angel hair pasta, I'd recommend asking for a little extra sauce since the pasta tends to soak it up. I ordered the Blackened Seared Shrimp and Scallops Alfredo, and it was outstanding. The Alfredo sauce was rich, creamy, and silky smooth, perfectly coating the pasta and seafood. From the excellent service to the delicious food and relaxing atmosphere, Villa Palma is definitely a restaurant I'd recommend for date night or any special occasion. We'll definitely be back!

We recently dined here after making a reservation and had a solid, but not standout, experience…read more The ambiance is super cute--definitely one of the highlights. It has that cozy Italian feel that makes you want to settle in and enjoy a good meal. They're located in this strip mall, but walking in the restaurant made you felt like you were transported somewhere special. They started us off with fresh bread, olive oil, and Parmesan, which we appreciated. One thing I found a bit unusual was that salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes aren't automatically on the table. They do provide them, but only upon request--and it's a standard salt shaker with fresh cracked pepper. Not a big deal, but it feels like something that could have came out with the oil and Parmesan. We started with the calamari, which was nicely fried--crispy on the outside and mostly tender, though a few pieces leaned a bit chewy. The marinara sauce was straightforward and a bit plain, nothing that really elevated the dish. My wife ordered the shrimp pasta. It was decent overall, but when I asked if she would order it again, she said no--which kind of sums it up. I had the clams and linguini in a white wine sauce. The linguini itself was cooked perfectly, but the clams were rubbery, which usually points to being overcooked. The sauce leaned too sharp and acidic, lacking that balance you expect from a proper white wine sauce--typically finished with butter to round it out and bring everything together. That richness was definitely missing which added to a poor experience for me. Service was slower than expected. It took about 50 minutes to receive our main dishes after ordering, which felt long--especially for a reservation-only restaurant and we ordered seafood dishes which doesn't take long to make. Pricing also felt a bit high for what you get and sides are all à la carte, which adds up quickly without a noticeable bump in portion size or overall experience. If the food and service matched the ambiance, this would have been a much stronger overall experience. As it stands, it was decent, but it didn't quite meet my dining expectations given the pricing and reservation-only setup.

I did not get our waitresses name, but she was a good waitress and nice too. No complaints ... food came out pretty fast and we never had to wait for anything we requested. Food: 5/5 The food was so good. Of course the warm bread they give you to dip in the olive oil is so delicious... I could just eat this and be happy. But we did order more. For an appetizer we got the zucchini 5/5 and it was perfectly cooked and so good. We both got side salads and they were fresh and very big for a side salad. Then we ordered just the spaghetti and pomodoro (tomato sauce) 5/5, and the pasta with shrimp and scallops in vodka sauce 4/5. I was a little disappointed with the vodka sauce... it was good, but not the traditional flavor I was looking for. Overall: 5/5 we will definitely come back... food was so good and atmosphere and service were great.

Yaay!! I am so excited to report that this was a DELICIOUS experience and we finally have an…read moreItalian restaurant nearby that we love. We're beachside, and the local Italian choices leave much to be desired. But, we ventured across the bridge (gasp! lol) and found our new Italian home. We were greeted seated promptly by a friendly server. The chef in the kitchen smiled as we passed. She brought bread that tasted like a homemade loaf. So crispy and full of seasoning. Not greasy. Great start! Menu selections were good - a rounded variety you'd expect to see at most American Italian restaurants: Pizza, Calzone, Stromboli, Subs, and a variety of pastas. I was pleased to see they had lamb chops, pork chops, and steak, too! Ordered Red Sangria and beer. Sangria was in a big pint and was tasty, beer was ice cold in a bottle and served in a chilled pint glass. We started with Mussels in white wine sauce. DELISH!! Tasted fresh, nothing fishy. The sauce was not too oily, either. Shared a medium Carnivore Pizza and Lasagna (with obvious intent for leftovers). WOW! Both were amazing. I loved the crispiness of the crust on the pizza, without it being so thick your jaw hurts from chewing. The meatballs and sausage were so savory, and it paired well with the sauce. The Lasagna had delicious creamy with fresh herb layers as well as incredibly flavorful meat in the filling. The sauce was amazing. I had worried because it was so... red. Like, was this just canned sauce? But in the end that is not how it tasted. It was fresh and delicious and it allowed the fillings and cheese to standout. Speaking of cheese, the cheese formed a semi-crispy crust on the top that was addictive. The noodles themselves cooked perfectly. Not mushy at all. We fought ourselves to stop. We were so full but wanted to leave room for dessert. For dessert, the server recommended the lemon blueberry cheesecake cake. She said they made it in house and we were sold. It was basically the best of all worlds! Cheesecake. Cake. Fruit. Frosting. We did not fight ourselves on this one and devoured it promptly. The server was friendly through the whole service. Lots of smiles, and not being chatty or obtrusive. The food all came out in a reasonable manner of time and nothing that made you feel like it was already hot and waiting or like you got hot waiting. Perfection. The vibes inside are quaint and casual, not fancy. But the food is what you're really there for. And it's worth it. We're so happy to have finally found our new favorite Italian spot.

His knowledge of the menu and beverage options was exceptional, and his recommendations were spot on. He was attentive without being intrusive and made our entire dining experience even more enjoyable with his friendly conversation and genuine hospitality. The food is where Napoli's truly shines. You can taste the homemade authenticity in every bite. The garlic bread is an absolute must-order. The pizzas were outstanding, with a perfectly crisp exterior and a wonderfully chewy crust inside. The pizza sauce was simply incredible, rich, balanced, and everything you hope for in a great Italian pizza. The pasta dishes were equally delicious, served with a fresh, beautiful side salad and flavorful garlic knots that completed the meal perfectly. Our server encouraged us to save room for the homemade tiramisu, and we're so glad we listened. It was the perfect ending to the evening. The espresso flavor beautifully complemented the light, whipped mascarpone and delicate ladyfingers. It truly feels like a house specialty, and it's something you absolutely shouldn't miss. While I'm sure Napoli's offers excellent takeout, I highly recommend dining in at least once.

Service: packed decently, but they need to either wait until the sauce is cooler or get better containers for the Marina sauces, because both were melted to the point the lids were misshapen and not even on top anymore. Also, took longer than said, but they were probably busy since it started to rain. Food: we ordered the following... 1. Pepperoni pizza: 3.5/5 it's was ok... but on the bland side. It needs salt or spices or something. 2. Specialty pizza: 2/5 it was a meatball, mushroom and extra cheese pizza. It doesn't look to have much more cheese than the pepperoni with normal cheese and we paid extra for the cheese. But the worst part about this pizza that just sunk my heart when we opened the box... I still took a bite to make sure, and yes... they used canned mushrooms. Yuck!!!!! Who has a wood fired traditional Pizza and puts jarred mushrooms on top??? Why not fresh mushrooms?! Ruined the whole pizza. We had to spend 15 minutes picking them off. Just sad. The meatballs tasted pretty good though. 3. Toasted ravioli- 3/5 - tasted great but such a small serving 4. Eggplant chips: 4/5 - great big serving, but had a little bit of an overdone flavor. Overall: super disappointing... would not go back again. Not sure if it was an off night, or my family member went when they first opened so maybe they changed cooks since then, or why we had such an opposite experience of them...
