Mural inside

Got invited to lunch today. It was a beautiful day to venture out and dine out. Met up with friends. The decor of the restaurant was very nice. There are colorful murals in the bar. We sat in the bar area in a booth and chairs. It was very comfy. My friends food looked really l tasty. They enjoyed a side salad, toasted ravioli, Fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken and bread. The bread was very delish with the marinara sauce. My food was okay but not stellar. My soup had way too much salt in it. I should have sent it back. The salad had too much dressing for me. It was an awesome portion and was okay. If I return, I will try other entrees and give the restaurant a second chance. Nate, our server was awesome. He was friendly and quite attentive. Our lunch was a pleasant time.

I was with a party of 9 and we had reservations. The food was tasty and our server was very attentive and helpful! As far as fine dining Italian goes, I do think there are much better options in Memphis, but the only one in the Lakeland area which is nice to have. We were the only people in the restaurant which was kind of awkward but it was fine.

Veal scallopini, mushroom risotto, pasta primavera

Villa Castrioti is a great Italian spot located in Cordova and Lakeland. Their prices range from $10-$20 at lunch and $20-$60 at dinner. I found that their more affordable options, like the gnocchi and the pasta primavera, are just as good as some of their more expensive options. Their grilled shrimp is rather expensive ($16 to add to my pasta) but it is some of the best shrimp I've tried. The cocktails are my favorite in the area. The service is always excellent. The front room is rather small and well lit, while the main dining room is warm and cozy. I highly recommend trying the gnocchi appetizer, the mushroom risotto side, and the pistachio martini for dessert. I did not care for the veal scallopini nor the ravioli.

The ambiance is beautiful, especially the dining room ! The service was moderate..me and my husband sat down at the bar and it took a while to be greeted. There were several dirty dishes at the bar , but the manager came and grabbed them. The drinks were really good which is consistent with other reviews .. there was also live music which was a nice touch . The pizza was okay..it did come out fast which was good , the crust was crispy but the sauce was bland . Lastly, the bartender asked me and my husband what we did for a living , which could have been small talk , but as a black American at a non diverse restaurant, I found it offensive.

First time patrons and now patrons for life. Excellent food, so was good…read more The ambiance was beautiful, I love the Italy feeling. Our waitress was phenomenal, we also had what we needed

This was my first time visiting Harry's in Millington. My dad had been recommending it for a while…read moreand wanted to take my boyfriend and me out to dinner because he thought we would enjoy it. I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs. While eating, I bit into a foreign object that I later discovered was a strand of steel wool. It scratched/punctured my tongue and made contact with a tooth. Thankfully, my tongue appears to be okay, but after thinking about the incident overnight, I realized that's not really the point. What concerns me is how a piece of steel wool ended up in a customer's meal in the first place. Steel wool is a cleaning material and should never make its way onto a plate. While I may have been fortunate that my injury appears minor, the next customer may not be. To be fair, the manager was very professional, polite, and accommodating when the issue was brought to their attention. The food was taken back and part of our meal was comped. My concern is not with how the manager handled the situation, but with whatever breakdown in cleaning or food preparation procedures allowed this to happen. I decided to write this review because I want the right people to see it and take a serious look at their cleaning and kitchen practices. My hope is that this incident leads to improvements so that no other customer has the same experience.

I had an absolutely awesome meal at Amerigo! First visit at this location. I made a reservation and…read morewaited only about five minutes before being seated. The Italian bread with herbs was delicious, and every appetizer we tried -- from the cheese fritters to the calamari -- was excellent. I chose the smoked chicken ravioli for my entrée, and it was truly delectable. We finished dinner with key lime pie for dessert, and it was mmm good. Overall, the meal was fabulous. My only complaint was the air-conditioning, which felt brutally cold at times. Thankfully it wasn't on continuously, but I couldn't help wondering -- why is the AC blasting on a cold January night? Our server was excellent as well. A+!

Dined here on a Wednesday evening around 6:30 PM with a party of 8. We only waited about 10 minutes…read moreto be seated at a large round table near the front, which was impressive for a group our size. Our waiter, Jason, was very attentive throughout the evening and made sure we had everything we needed. We started with drinks, and I ordered the blueberry tequila sour -- twice! They were very good. I ended the night with a French 75, which was also delicious. For appetizers, our table ordered a wide variety including cheese fritters, calamari, crab cakes, artichoke dip, and mussels. Most of the appetizers were enjoyable, especially the crab cakes, which were my personal favorite. The only disappointment was the calamari, which lacked flavor, had a rubbery texture, and even the marinara sauce was bland. After filling up on appetizers, I skipped an entrée and ordered another round of crab cakes instead. While they were excellent, they were served over a bed of pinto beans mixed with salad, which felt like an odd pairing. There are definitely better side options that could complement the dish. Overall, the food was about a 7/10, service was a solid 9/10 (though drinks took a little longer than expected), and the ambiance was pleasantly low-lit without feeling overly formal. It's a family-friendly spot with a welcoming atmosphere, and I'd definitely consider returning for future special occasions.
