This restaurant needs to stay on our radar more often!…read more Il Villaggio offers a Happy Hour Menu with drink and food specials. It's $6 off bar menu items, $3 off cocktails and wine, and $2 off draft beers. Sunday through Thursday from 3:00 PM - 6:00 PM. At the bar, we enjoyed the Filet Mignon Carpaccio, the Shrimp Spring Rolls, and we all shared the Homemade Gnocchi (Porcini cream sauce). Get the gnocchi! For dinner, we ordered the Homemade Lobster Raviolis, Penne Vodka (my love and I split this) and one of the ravioli specials. Everything was delicious. We sat at a high-top table in the beautiful bar area. It was lively and cozy. There was live entertainment but at a comfortable volume. The staff was very welcoming and warm. Even the food runners were engaging. A great time all around!

I do not eat seafood and was confused by the fishy smell and presence of meat. Luckily it was a simple cross-table mixup. Furthermore, the mushroom gnocchi was horrible. It was made with pure whipping cream, which is probably a valid Italian approach, but it had to have been 100g of fat, and it tasted like warm thick milk, with no flavor and minimal mushrooms. I felt sick to my stomach the rest of the night. The restaurant was packed and tastefully decorated. They have a great signature cocktail list but I couldn't hear myself or anyone at my table. Average decibel level was 85 through the course of our 90 minute stay. My ears felt raw once I got outside. Lastly, it's a mandatory (and complimentary) valet for parking. Just be prepared. If you like Italian, may be worth a shot. Folks were pleased with oysters and mashed potatoes at my table, but I have no desire to come back.

Originally from Haddonfield, moved to Texas and we just don't get good Italian food, or the…read moreservice, or the attention to detail. In town for a visit and decided to try Verona Ristorante Italiano. They hit on all cylinders. Verona lets you bring your own wine, which is amazing. At my host's recommendation I had the tomato tower appetizer, but if it's in season, jersey tomatoes, you gotta have one. I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo chock full of mussels, scallops and shrimp, and finished with a crème brûlée and coffee. Bellisima! The two rooms were full and a line formed by 8pm so get a reservation. Despite hitting capacity, conversation was easy. And the BYOB wine was just what the doctor ordered!

We did have reservations and we were seated immediately in the downstairs area. Our server greeted us right away, popped open our wine and was attentive for the rest of night. As an appetizer we ordered calamari and it is possibly the best we have had. It was cooked perfect and the breading had a light crunch. It was delicious. My dish was Lobster Ravioli: Homemade ravioli stuffed with lobster - crabmeat - basil rose cognac cream sauce. It was a wonderful entree full of taste and a great comfort food. On a cold day it was warm and filling. This was definitely a restaurant I would return back to.

We made a reservation for 8:30 and arrived about 20 minutes early so we were expecting to have a little wait before our table was ready. The place was jam packed! Even trying to find a seat at the large bar to have a cocktail before dinner was virtually impossible but we wound up finding one. The bartender made really great drinks so we were very pleased while waiting for our table. Once seated we were provided with water almost immediately and our server arrived shortly after. We put in our drink and appetizer order and then the amazing bread with peppers arrived (complimentary) and we were like two kids in a candy shop. I don't know what they do to those peppers but they're delicious ... and pair perfectly with what I call their pizza bread. Appetizer and drinks were superb and after putting in our entree orders they were placed in front of us in under 20 minutes - fresh, hot and delicious! Neither of us could finish the entrees so we asked for to go containers ... and we certainly gobbled the leftovers up the following day. Oh and there's complimentary valet parking (just tip the valets) which makes for a stress free entrance and exit from the busy parking lot. Giumarellos never disappoints and it was no different this time.

Had a great time! The service was a bit slow, but they were busy. Drinks lived up to the hype, and…read moreI LOVED that they had the Spanish style G&Ts, haven't seen that anywhere else. Only thing I wish is that they went beyond the Hendricks for it, or did the special snack with them (when in Spain, they will bring you a little tray of a snack that accompanies the pairing). The food was very good. The chicken francaise was awesome, perfectly fried and seasoned, as were the meatballs. Very impressive hummus trio though! The hummus flavors were all very well thought out and felt like they were actually made to match the Italian style, rather than slapped on the menu. Honestly some of the best we have had outside of Lebanese restaurants. I was very skeptical it could match, but G bar beat the local hype and is now on our top list

Small, quaint, authentic, family, quiet-ish, intimate, outstanding, I could probably keep going but let me get to the food. Not a ton of seating so I would highly recommend a reservation. We started with a bottle of wine that we brought (BYOB), a basket of bread, and the Burrata salad app. They were prefect. I followed with the Caesar Salad and asked to add anchovies. The salad was amazing, dressing was creamy, egg based, and delicious. Omg, I'm still thinking about it. For entrees my wife had the Cheese Wheel, served table side, not just a fun novelty, it was excellent. I have never in 14 years seen her eat that much pasta and that fast. Our guests also ordered it as an app and raved about it. I had the pork chop entree, fantastic! The demi glace sauce with caramelized onions and panchetta, sweet carrots, creamy potatoes... so good. Our guests had seafood dishes that they said were so good as well. Dessert was delicious coffee and cappuccino with the ice box cake (yum) and an excellent Lemon cream cake (all made fresh daily). The service was top notch, all family, all friendly, all attentive. Prefect 40th birthday dinner for the wife. We will certainly be back. Check them out.

We tried to mix it up by trying the Squid Ink Linguine, that was where we went wrong.

We also had an appetizer of escargot and it was delicious! Tiramisu was a generous portion as well.

Mushroom risotto with…read moreshrimp is described as "Arborio rice, shrimp, asparagus, in a wild porcini mushroom sauce" What came out was a molded risotto with 4 - 21/25 count shrimp that were over grilled/over cooked. The rice while cooked properly was bland lacking correct seasoning. The stuffed pork chop special was to be stuffed with prosciutto and a provolone or mozz cheese. No prosciutto inside and the pork chop which was a rib about an inch thick sliced horizontally for stuffing was over cooked and tough. Sauce was excellent however. Also at 39.00, the price way over priced for an 8 oz rib pork chop, that wasnt prepared properly to boot. Should have been 25/30 dollars for this type of dish - did not deserve a "special price". No one came by after entrees were placed to ask how the entrees were. TBH honest I should have sent my dish back as it was barely edible due toughness - should have been cooked medium with pink inside. Desserts were excellent cappuccino great as well. Disappointed in the entrees. Have been coming here for years for dinner and special occasions.

Could not hear myself think, it was a literal screaming match around us!! Bread is on the table we felt bad and rude to leave.

Ordered the short rib over pasta, unfortunately short rib was tough not tender but pasta was enjoyable. What could have been a wonderful and enjoyable dinner was NOT. Needless to say we could hear the extremely loud tables fighting each other to get heard all the way out the door as we left.
