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.

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

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.

I really, really wanted to like Il Villaggio, and I'm surprised about the dining experience we had…read more This was my first time here, and my wife's first time in a while, however she's been here quite a few times in the past. We had reservations at 6:45pm on a Saturday night. We arrived a few minutes prior to our reservation and were seated in the corner of a little off-shoot room with only a handful of other tables. It did not feel like we were out to eat at an upscale restaurant. It took a long time for our server to greet us and we placed our drink order. Wine and cocktails. Our server came back a long while after and informed us the bar was backed up and she was still waiting on our drinks. After another very long wait, our drinks were delivered to our table. Everyone enjoyed their wine and my Manhattan was very good. Slow service was a very common theme all night long. It seemed like 30+ minutes between table visits from our server. Between four of us, we ordered two Caesar Salads to split. We also had a Shrimp & Clam Fra Diavolo, Gnocchi, and a Homemade Tagliatelle dinner special with clams, shrimp, and crab served with white wine sauce and arugula pesto. Again it took a very long time for our salads to come out and ages for our entrees. By the time our food was brought to our table I think we were all ready to leave. I think it's safe to say everyone enjoyed their meal but I cannot justify paying the prices Il Villaggio charges with the service provided. I also thought the portions were extremely small which again, I wouldn't have minded if the service was adequate. We did voice our concerns, which I dislike doing, but that's how bad it was. Our server apologized and advised us that they weren't expecting the restaurant to be as busy as it was. Not sure if that was an excuse or if they were actually short-staffed. They did offer complimentary Limoncello and desserts for the table. The Limoncello was probably my favorite part of the night. My wife and I split cannolis and there was also a Key Lime Pie ordered. The dessert tasted good, but after spending 3+ hours in the restaurant, we wouldn't have ordered dessert if it wasn't offered. To say I was underwhelmed would be an understatement. I don't think I've ever waited so long for food and drinks at a restaurant in my life. The only way I'd consider coming back is if our plans were to have cocktails and appetizers at the bar. This was difficult for me to write. I don't enjoy leaving poor reviews. This was not worth our time or money.
