Eggplant was delicious!! Got meatballs on the side. They needed garlic & spices. Plenty of sauce to dip the fresh rolls in. Yummy! We will return! read more

Love this place everyone is so pleasant the food is phenomenal and just a great atmosphere!!!

Everytime we go there we get good service, the portions are great and the value is fantastic. Go hungry! I had the meatball hoagie with a side, food was hot and fresh. Servers never let my drink empty. read more

Going to this restaurant is like going to grandma's house for Sunday dinner. It is my family's go-to restaurant for pretty much every occasion. The food is great, the prices are incredible and the portions are out of this world. The service, every time, is really really good. Skip the garbage at the Olive Garden and, instead, go to Nona's house! read more

One of my favorite go to places when I want Italian! Everyone is always so friendly and the food is consistently amazing. Large portions and good prices. read more

This is the only Italian restaurant we go to around the area! The food is amazing, highly recommend to anyone. Our favorite is the chicken parm! read more

BEST FOOD in the entire Pittsburgh area! Villa has the MOST WONDERFUL staff and customer service. This place is the greatest of all time! Love yinz read more

Great Italiano atmosphere. Have ordered their pizza on multiple visits. Awesome; both their Napolitana and Sicilian. Service is always friendly and prompt. Looking forward to the day I break routine and have the Fettucini Carbonara! read more

The best pizza I had in years. Tons of flavor, and really good crust. The salad was really good too.

Ordered the chicken Romano, never have I ever knew it would come soaked in grease. The pasta was also soaked in grease! The food was repulsive. Service was ok but when I pushed the nearly full plate to the side they never asked what was wrong just if I wanted a to go box. read more

Love this Italian restaurant! It's right down the road from our place, the menu is huge, isn't expensive and they have great portions. Lot of parking in the back and the staff are always nice and welcoming. Decor is a little out dated but everything is out dated in the old country. I have relatives in Italy, so it def has an authentic feel too it. Love their pasta dishes and the home made rolls are awesome. My husband will go there just for the bread. If you are in the area, it is a great choice for eating in or take out. read more

We ate here for a family reception and the staff were so accommodating and the food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We took over one of the side rooms and kept switching around seats and they never got flustered and managed to keep all of our food straight. I had the chicken marsala and it was delicious and everyone around me was raving about their food. We had about 25 people in our party and the bill came to just over $300 with tons of leftovers. The locals all recommended it and I can see why! Will definitely be back. read more

A great business starts at the top!! This place really proves that. Benny is the best and all of his staff are always wonderful! Great place to take your family... big or small for any type of gathering and they are always so accommodating. The food is always excellent, especially the Romano Chicken. I work a mile down the road but unfortunately don't live close by anymore or I'd frequent it more like we used to! Can't say enough good about this place or Benny!!! read more

I've eaten here a few times over the years, but I think no more. Everything we had was loaded with salt, the pasta was overcooked, ... even the water tasted bad! They try hard, but they seriously need a new chef. read more

My husband and I have lived in the area for about a year and have finally just got to eat here. It is FANTASTIC! We ended up going 3 times in the past week. I recently found out I need to go gluten free and was ecstatic to find out they offer gluten free penne. The portions are HUGE and everything comes out STEAMING HOT. The prices are extremely reasonable and beyond worth it. read more

We sat for 10 minutes before we finally asked if we had a waitress! After that, the service was good but the food was only mediocre. I don't think we'll go back. read more

Best place in Lower Burrell for lunch or dinner. Great food, excellent service and a nice environment.

Great food, great service and always HAPPY TO SERVE usThank you for being really NICE, especially when we show up last;) We work long hours at our local Aveda Hair Salon & We thank you for feeding us! read more

Decent enough Italian food. Slow wait time for food, and they forgot our salads until right before the main course came out. But the food was alright enough to excuse that. Wait staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice. I'm willing to bet that it would be better to eat here on a slower night. read more

I've never had a bad meal from here. Staff is always super friendly and meals are always ready on time n still piping hot from the oven. Never dined - in but every takeout order was excellent. Highly recommend read more

Had a rehearsal dinner for my wedding on Friday night. The service was great and the food was delicious. The portions were huge. No one went home hungry. The chicken Romano was particularly great. Highly recommended! read more

Will always be one of my favorites! Some of my recommendations are the pescatore, white clam sauce, and penne primavera (ask to add chicken or shrimp = bomb!). They have to be one of the cleanest, most efficient, and reasonably priced places around. I was first a customer and then employee so I got to see both sides of everything and this place is no joke! The family is wonderful and Beni is great to work for. One of the funnest places I've worked! read more

Great place most of the time. My favorite dish is shrimp fra diavalo. Homemade rolls are so good with butter! Prices are fantastic. Only disappointment was when we arrived at 8 on a Friday night and were rushed through our dinner. Mind you the hours for Friday are supposed to be until 10pm but staff did not care. We were pushed out by 8:45 while they were running around vacuuming and resetting tables for next day. Waiter shoved check and take home boxes at us like they wanted to leave by 9. Only time this happened so still gave 4 star. read more

Still the best Italian food in the A-K area! Benni and his crew there are like family! All kinds of great Italian food. If you like seafood, my personal favorites are seafood pescatore and calamari marinara. They also have a great raspberry chicken! Hell...it is ALL delicious. Beni, his family and his staff are incredible! Go, eat, enjoy! read more

They had excellent service, quick and friendly. Huge portions, and good prices. I had the chicken parmesan and the chicken was cooked to perfection. My wife had the gnocchi which is not cooked properly in so many other restaurants, but here it was again, cooked to perfection. Mixed drinks were good. Beer was good, only bottles available. Overall, a great experience. read more

Really good Italian food. Chicken made with an amaretto sauce was delicious. I love the water fountain in the middle of the restaurant and the pictures from Venice that decorate the place. read more

Decent food. I ordered the Chicken Parm and the piece of Chicken was HUGE. For some reason, they have no Wedding Soup during the week. Odd for an Italian joint. Waitstaff was kind and friendly. I'll certainly be back. read more

We took my grandmother there along with our daughter. "Gram" goes there occasionally and my SIL goes there as well, both had good things to say so there was a small expectation. We were seated in the main dining room near the water fountain. Its big but doesn't fell big, which is good. Both gram and my wife got salads which they enjoyed very much. The waitress made sure that their orders came out correct. I had the steak & cheese hoagie which was very good. It's a very good spot for a nice longer type of lunch. We'll be back to checkout the dinner scene. Oh and its an excellent spot for families. My daughter was very happy with all the bread. read more

Excellent Italian food! Great for a nice sit down meal or a quick take out. The pizza is just as good as the fancier Italian dishes. Staff have all been great. Reasonably priced. read more

This place is awesome. Old school Italian eatery with great staff. We live about 90 minutes away and can only come once in a while. I had the chicken parm. It was huge and delicious. Every time we come here the food is great and the staff is very friendly. Love it. read more

We ordered take out from hear last sunday and it was absolutely amazing! I have never written a review for a restaurant before - but I felt compelled to do so because of this suprising experience. I had the shrimp scampi fradavllo and my husband had the linguini pescatore....oh my goodness...they were both so delicious! Highly reccomend. read more

They got new awnings!!!! Bravo Villa Ballanca! It's a strong start. Now they can move onto polishing up their service, revamping their interior, and lastly but certainly not least, they can begin to focus on improving the quality of their food. read more

It's a place we don't go very often, but just like any other restaurant, you learn what's good on the menu and what isn't. I do like their eggplant parm, ravioli's and stuffed shells, but that's about my limit. My husband likes the pizza, but it's not something he raves about. I do like the big dinner rolls with butter. Those I could just sit there and eat and eat. I'm not pleased with the bar......wine in a box just isn't my thing....and they don't have much of a selection. What's an Italian restaurant without good vino!! I must say the owners are always friendly to us. read more

I've been there a few times now, and the food was excellent every time. It's obviously a family run restaurant, and it shows. Great atmosphere. read more

This is hands down our favorite Italian restaurant. Everyone is always so friendly and welcoming when we come and they always wish us a fond goodbye. Food is fantastic and the service is amazing! read more

It was just ok for us. Wife ordered chicken piccata and sent it back for lasagna. It wasn't that good either. I got the shell fish in linguine and it was really good. Good portions and casual atmosphere read more

Ate there for a family celebration. Decor has not changed since I had a wedding shower there 9 years ago! Food was okay, got the Italian Sausage casserole and was disappointed it was sausage, onions, peppers and mushrooms, guess I was expecting a bit of pasta, should have read the menu better! My kids got cheeseburgers off the kids menu and they were huge! Reasonably priced, but nothing I need to go out of my way to eat again. read more

The BEST Italian in Lower Burrell! I usually take out, but I've eaten in a few times as well. Service is always good, everything is always prepared quickly. I've never had a dish I didn't like, and that includes pizza, wings, pasta, salads, soup & sandwiches. The prices are very reasonable, especially when you consider how much food you get! They have the traditional fare you qould expect at an Italian restaurant, PLUS (and this to me - as a bit of an Italian food snob - is the mark of a truly great place) They have dishes of their own creation that you don't find anywhere else. I can't say enough good about this place! read more

we have eaten here once. food was mediocre at best. with all the choices around here my $$will be better spent elsewhere. will not go back.

We love this place! The food is delicious! The portions are huge and the prices are great. Calzones, carbonara, pizza, spaghetti and meatballs- it's all so good! read more
