Now this place my friends, makes me feel at home. The food is yummy and makes an old man like me feel like I'm unstoppable. What's better than Italian food? Go ahead tell me... I go here often. What a great environment. I always see someone that knows me which is normal since I'm handsome as hell and famous. The staff is awesome always super nice. I never know if it's because of my amazingness or if they are always like that. I have zero complaints on this one folks. The only complaint I have is that I had to bring my wife and listen to her yap. #blahblahblah read more

We went in for an Appetizer and shared a Plate of Calamari with Homemade Marinara Sauce and it was The BEST we've ever had. Made perfectly fried and tender not chewy. We also shared a Large grilled chicken with Broccoli Rabe with oil and garlic it was HUGE. That an 2 Kold One's beer, needless to say we were Full. We also shared "Left the gun, but grabbed the cannoli" to take home for dessert. It was SO good that I forgot to take pictures. They also had outdoor seating which we will take advantage of next time. Go out and Enjoy. read more

Villa Nigrelli - Look up their Menu. Pictures say it all. - Italian Near Me - Hopewell Junction, New York

There is nothing wrong with this place. I've been here a number of times and noted everything, and the food is amazing! The lights are dimmed, and there's not lots of noise, the staff are excellent and fast, and well experienced. I recommend this place! read more

Reservations highly recommended especially on weekends and evenings. It gets busy! The moment you walk through doors you're pleasantly greeted, asked if there's a reservation? Then seated. Anywhere is a good spot; most have an outside view. The decor is tasteful and inviting. An excellent venue for a date night, family event, or just a dinner in a beautiful restaurant with the one you love, or maybe impress. ; ) The menu has something for everyone. There are also daily specials. Your selection will come from the kitchen the way you'd expect. Done perfectly and at the right temperature. You're not rushed. Service is impeccable; from linen napkins and silverware, to a waitstaff that knows there is more to a dinner service, than shoving a plate in front of you and then disappearing the rest of the time. The Chef enjoys the career. like someone who is cooking for family, it is a special occasion! Overall, I was truly impressed with our Sunday lunch. Sunday's special the seafood risotto was perfect! None of the ingredients were over or under cooked. I just wish I had the appetite of a 20 year old! There was a clam with wine and cherry peppers appetizer. That could have been our main. There was more than enough and along with the bread from Mario's as a scarpetta it was glorious. Server Angela was helpful, professional, and attentive. She and the venue made a cold and cloudy day a ray of sunshine in June. We will be coming back. Now that we know it's right off the Taconic at Carpenter Street. read more

We were seated in very good table, white tablecloth and black napkins. Very nice setting. We were given a choice of appetizers. We picked clams and it was so good. We were also given a basket of fresh bread. I normally don't eat the bread, but it was delicious. We are still waiting for chicken noodle soup, m waiting for a salad. Before the mail course. I picked the veal pizzaola with pasta in a marinara sauce. Our server Angela is very engaging with us we telling her how delicious our food is. I would give a 10 to this restaurant and it's service read more

We sat outside at Villa Nigrelli and had a great meal. Our waiter, Andrew did an awesome job of making sure we enjoyed our stay and all of our needs were met. The food tasted amazing. They always have a delicious special menu. I ordered the seafood risotto, which was outstanding. My wife went with her go-to, the penne alla Vodka. We topped the meal off with the Lemon Marscapone cake. This cake is not too sweet and very light, yet so yummy. We ate it too quick to take a picture (sorry). Great job Nigrelli! read more

My husband has been here many times and he and his friends can't stop raving about the food , so I said take me there for Valentine's Day! I hate to admit...my husband was spot on when he said this place is "The Place"! The food, atmosphere, the service and the wait staff were stellar! Thank you Joe for your attentive service! read more

Had high hopes for Villa Nigrelli as muh parents went a few months ago. Realistically it is a 3.5. Made reservations for a Sunday night and glad I did because it was crowded. Calamari was great. Chicken marsala was a bit too thick for my liking. Penne vodka was solid and reheats well. Would I come back? Yes. But I would rate this a bit lower than Aroma, Stephanos or Ginos which to me are sort of the high water mark for Italian food in Dutchess County. read more

The service is outstanding, the food was delicious and generous, but the acoustics are terrible. It was a Friday night, so I expected the crowd and a decent amount of noise. But this restaurant has been doing well, which is why I went there. So, spend some of your earnings and hire a firm to install panels to absorb the sound, without taking away from the aesthetics. This was my first dining experience here. So, it warrants giving them another try. read more

My husband and I were lucky enough to get into this restaurant on Mother's Day and we were not disappointed! I had the soft shell crab française special which was so good that I came back today to get it again! The sides are just as good, the meat sauce is fabulous and the soups are obviously homemade. I think this is going to become our new go to restaurant as the prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food. Our server CJ was very attentive and made sure that we were well taken care of on both of our visits. Just a really enjoyable afternoon! read more

The food was incredibly tasty. I had shrimp Parmesan and I ordered it without the shrimp fried and they were happy to accommodate. The ambience and service was good also. It's a nice little spot right off of the Taconic... I just hope people are paying attention when driving on the taconic... Lol. My only recommendation is to add a nice French rosé to your bar menu and maybe some fancy cocktails. I will be back. read more

Great food and great service. I will be back over and over again. Delivery was the best ever!

Went here to celebrate my birthday. Big shout out to my in-laws for taking us out here. The fried calamari is always on the table for appetizers, if you know what I mean! No pics mean I forgot and started eating them . Clams oreganata was very tasty, seasoned right and could have easily been my dinner. But the highlight of the night for the birthday boy was.... The pork osso bucco. I mean just DAMN!! It was awesome, the tenderness of the meat, the umami of the sauce!!!! I call it the OMG osso bucco. I've had osso bucco before but never this good. I may just have to call ahead to know when this special is available. read more

Great lunch. As soon as we were seated they brought some bread to the table, with olive oil and butter. We asked to have the bread warm, and it was done immediately, what a treat. I had the veal Marsala, linguine with garlic and olive oil it was delicious, portions are not overly great, but for lunch it's perfect. My friend had the eggplant Parmesan which she devoured, came with big bowl of pasta. My other friend had the chickenPiccata, she found it a bit salty, I tasted it and thought it was fine. She had delicious broccoli in lieu of the pasta. Can't remember what our fourth companion had , but it looked delicious. For desert we share a yummy Lava cake. I wished I remembered our waiter's name. He was terrific. Young guy with dark short hair, was behind the bar at times. Thank you , you were great. Prices are very reasonable. We will definitely go back read more

We came here on a Wednesday night to celebrate my birthday. It was packed! Luckily we had a reservation so were seated promptly. The tables inside are pretty close to each other and the noise echoes in the room so it was pretty loud. It's definitely not a place for a romantic date if you want quietness or intimacy, but it was fine for a family dinner. All the servers were very polite and I love that the entrees came with either soup or salad. Everything was very good and had a nice portion, we skipped the apps so we could have dessert and boy were we glad we did!! No pictures to show here because they came out singing happy birthday to me and the desserts were so good I didn't have time to get a picture in. We had their apple tart ala mode special, lava cake, and taramisu. So good!!! We will definitely be back here again to try other food. Great experience. read more

Great food and service. On the smaller side so make a reservations but worth the experience.

What was a random selection for a lunch became a wonderful surprise. VR, an unassuming roadside restaurant offers delicious Italian food at bargain prices without a loss in quality. Food was fresh and delicious, it came in no time. Staff was attentive and accommodating and I would not hesitate to recommend this jewel in Stormville. Your wallet will thank you. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. From the moment we walked in, Justin made us feel genuinely welcomed. He was hands-down the best host I've ever had at a restaurant. Warm, attentive, and on top of everything without ever being overbearing. He truly went above and beyond and set the tone for the entire night. And I have to give a huge shout-out to Carlos. His service was quick, polite, and so detail-oriented. He cleared and reset our table seamlessly, and he checked in with such a friendly attitude. You can tell he really cares about the guest experience. read more

Villa Nigrelli is one of my favorite restaurants in the area! We were quickly greeted and seated. The restaurant was very full. We ended up sitting at the bar. The bartender was kind and efficient. I had the chicken piccata and it was excellent. The bread and red sauce is also delicious- my date had the chicken parm which was also excellent. They accidentally brought me pasta instead of broccoli. The staff quickly corrected their mistake and sent me home with the pasta at no charge.. read more

We decided to go to our favorite spot, VILLA NEGRELLI, and as usual we were not disappointed. I had the grilled octopus, first off the first thing you notice is you don't get one leg of grilled octopus but you get TWO LEGS. This was an appetizer special. The photo only shows one leg but that's because I ate the first one already before I took a picture. Second, we had the PORK OSSO BUCO, so tender you did not need a knife, I ate the whole PORK OSSO BUCO with a fork. So full we couldn't eat dessert. Cudos to Zach for being a great waiter and patient and to Robert for making some fantastic MANHATTANS. SO we've been busy lately with a number of health issues that has affected my time and my families. We're still dealing with certain issues that will eventually overwhelming us but we're hanging in there. Enjoy the food at VILLA NEGRELLI and enjoy because there you are considered family. read more

This place never disappoints!! Food always delicious and wait staff attentive and friendly. Always an enjoyable experience

Friendly, fun & vibrant ambiance...personal service...good food. What more could you ask for in a neighborhood eatery? Hostess is a gem, as are the bussers who were non-stop assisting throughout the evening. Our waiter should use a tray when carrying two martinis though (he spilled a lot down his hands, onto the table & menus). He apologized & recited all specials from memory...impressive. Food was spot on and after a week camping was exactly what we wanted. Watch the baked clams (ours were overdone & charred black) but minestrone, eggplant, pastas & chicken piccata carried the dinner. Thank you! We will be back! read more

Not a good experience at all.. the hostess was not nice and we did not feel welcome at all. We made reservations and we waited for about 20 minutes while everyone else was getting seated at their tables. Finally when my daughter said something in regard to our reservations they seated us in a poor area, I had to let them know that we didn't feel comfortable so they seated us elsewhere. My self and my family were there some time ago and we will never go back! The food was good and one of the servers was nice to us. That's all folks! read more

We ordered baked clams that were not good. The taste was so off and they were not cleaned properly. They had a lot of sand in them. Disappointing! read more

Great food; nice atmosphere and great service. Nice surprise off the Taconic State Parkway.

Don't go here if you're colored and hungry Stopped by for a nice Italian meal when I was in the area, looked like a good place for a dine in experience so I took my family there. It was not not every colored folk friendly, walked in and all the guests are looking at us, I was a bit weirded out but nevertheless waited to be seated. No host at the front so we had to wait a few minutes, the young man asks us how many and I tell him 4, he proceeds to let me know it's reservation only and they don't have anything available. It doesn't say so anywhere on Yelp or google so I was confused. I've never been denied by a restaurant before, they usually let you know there will be a wait time and how long but he flat out said we have no tables and the empty ones I was looking at were reserved. Took our business elsewhere. read more

The service was great, restaurant ambiance perfect and the food was excellent. Last visit Ordered take out for family of 6 however we've also eaten at the restaurant in the past. We've never had a bad meal and we've ordered everything from pizza to seafood. read more

Ok so I've just visited Millbrook and coming down the Taconic spotted this place off on Carpenter Road. I'm seated at a nice table in the corner. The place is a great local Italian place with tablecloths. Light spacious. Ricki comes right over with bread and water! No I Not in prison!! LOL Andrew my waiter comes over about to recite the specials, but I save him the time and order raviolis. No meat on Friday. But first a glass of Cabernet Lohr California. The salad is delicious. Followed by a heaping plate of wonderful raviolis Wow nice. Espresso tops off the meal... Ok so a nice place to eat before the long ride home! Happy Friday!! read more

On the advice of fellow Yelper, "Mon D.", I stopped in for lunch today, while on my way down to Westchester. Villa Nigrelli is an easy right onto the Carpenter Rd exit northbound on the Taconic Pkwy, followed by a very quick left into their parking lot. I could tell, based on how the restaurant looked on the outside that it was going to be a memorable experience, and it was. I chose to sit inside, although the outdoor seating area looked very inviting. My waiter, Joey, has been with the restaurant since opening day six years ago, and he was a wealth of knowledge, and very personable. Plus I grew up in Yonkers, and he lived there for a while, so we were simpatico. OK, OK. Enough with the chitchat. Bring on the food. Started with delicious ciabatta bread, served with both butter and Popeye's girlfriend (if you don"t know, google it, or answer given below). DELICIOUS. They had Peroni on tap, which was a big plus. So many tough choices for the entree, but I went with the old standby, chicken marsala. Comes with choice of pasta or broccoli with garlic and olive oyl (hint, hint). I opted for angel hair in the same dish as the chicken, shrooms, etc. You can also get the pasta separate w marsala or marinara sauce. The chicken was fork-tender and the sauce was excellent, very light, not overwhelming. Joey says they use bone broth as the base, and let it simmer for a long time. The decor is really excellent. White tablecloths, beautiful mural on one wall, rich woodwork, clean restrooms. Overall worthy of 5-stars. Great recommendation, Mon D.! read more

This is my second time here and honestly need to go back and try more of their food. Stopped by for lunch, the chicken piccata was delicious. The Nigrelli salad looked so good too. Hard to decide what to get and I get the feeling you won't be disappointed with any of your choices. Great service. We were greeted right away. I'll be back and definitely recommend you go. read more

One of the best restaurants in all of Dutchess County NY - tho I'd give a slight edge to Aroma Osteria in Wappingers. This place has a cozy, quaint ambiance, with excellent service & delicious traditional (sweet red sauce) Italian dishes. My family & I frequent this place often & shall continue. Great place! read more

Great food and service. Every dinner has been delicious and the staff is courteous and professional. Prices are not bad either.

Villa Nigrelli is a go-to restaurant for me. I love that I can come as I am or dress up for a date night- the crowd is so mixed. Their takeout setup is so quick and easy to navigate- I love that it's separate from the main dining area. The food is awesome with great charcuterie and fried calamari appetizers, Italian bread, and pizza are my favorites. Their outdoor patio seating is awesome in the summer, too! read more
