What a little gem, right in the heart of downtown Wiley, fantastic Italian find! The dishes at Villa Vinci were delicious. We started with some marinated olives (kind of a small dish, hard to share). They went great with the dinner rolls (was it garlic rolls shaped like square bagels?) We ordered veal parmagiana, stuffed shells, and special spaghetti. I loved the sauce, wow. Perfect amount of cheese and my veal parmagiana was seasoned well and had the right kind of bite, easily cut with a fork! The stuffed shells were so flavorful and the pasta had good bite to it. My only complaint is the noodles under my veal parmagiana... I just wish it was more al dente. I love how they serve spaghetti dishes with a spoon! Perfect for twirling your noodles for the perfect bite. Service was impeccable. I asked for red pepper flakes and they brought it out right away. read more

It's Wednesday date night and this week, we changed our regular location to moms favorite cuisine. We decided to go from our weekly Mexican place to Italian in Wylie. When you arrive, the first obstacle is parking since the restaurant is located on main street and it's not easy to back out when you leave, if you find a spot close to the restaurant. This is a seat yourself place and a few minutes in, our server brought us our menus. Since I've been eating carnivore for a bit, it was difficult to find something to eat. Mom selected ravioli and I got the chicken salad with 2 sides sausage and meatballs. While we waited for our meals, our server brought us warm bread. No this fat guy did not pull a Homer Simpson and salivate then eat it in seconds. Second obstacle, the portion size doesn't match the price-i don't feel i need to elaborate just look at the pictures. Mom liked her Ravioli. My chicken was dry and the sausage/meatballs portions were covered in sweet red sauce. There goes my carnivore with the sauce which overpowered the two sides of meat. Our server checked on us which was good. This was an average experience especially at almost $50 for two. read more

Three of us ordered special spaghetti, the antipasto salad, and the pasta alforno. The meal came with garlic rolls and we added a side order of marinara for dipping. It was tangy and light, NOTHING like a canned or bottled sauce. The rolls were a bit dense, but EVERYTHING else was WONDERFUL! We shared all of the dishes, but the winner was the antipasto salad with its ham and salami pinwheels and the absolute BEST house dressing. Although he didn't introduce himself, I think it was the owner, came around to see if everything was good and answer questions. He even let me guess the ingredients of that dressing! We will definitely return as we had no room for the house-made tiramisu and really wished we had. Maybe a cup of cappuccino and dessert on our next visit. Service was great. Our server was attentive but not bothersome. The decor of the restaurant was pleasant with wine bottles lining the ceiling molding around the entire circumference of the dining room, antique pressed metal ceiling tiles, and origami chandeliers which spun delicately above us. The quiet ambiance was casual enough for a family dinner while quaint enough for an intimate date night. We had an all-around delightful visit to a lovely restaurant. Villa Vinci is a MUST if you've never been. read more

I had never been to Wylie, but we were passing through here on the way home from a friends and needed dinner. Villa Vinci is a quaint restaurant right in "downtown" Wylie. The service was great - prompt and very friendly! We ordered the bruschetta to start - it was good, but could have used a bit more seasoning/basil, and thinner bread. My husband had the chicken caesar salad, which was exactly what you'd expect it to be. The chicken was quite good and well sized for the cost. I had the chicken carciofi, to try something I don't usually see on the menu at other places. It was very delicious - I did the scampi sauce because I'm not into alfredo. It wasn't too heavy, and the portion size was good. To me, this is exactly the type of restaurant a town like Wylie should support - local owned, great service, solid food! I hope they survive, as they were quite dead for a Saturday night! read more

The food was amazing! For our appetizer, we shared the Bruschetta. The bread was slightly crispy with a soft, buttery inner. Topped with tomato and olive oil in perfect amounts, every bite was better than the previous. We had the Chicken Calabrese and Lobster Ravioli, both were very delicious and had lovely flavor notes. We also had a few of their new Italian inspired cocktails. The Cosmoplita and Italian Coffee were beautiful variations of the traditional Irish Coffee and Cosmopolitan. Besides what we indulged in, the service was top notch. The owner, Mida has immaculate attention to detail and care for her restaurant. This beautiful hole in the wall is a must try. We promise you will not regret it. My partner and I will definitely be back. Great date spot. read more

Another local gem in Wylie. Came on Friday evening and the place was fairly busy but we were still able to be seated immediately. The service was the star of our experience, everyone was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had an excellent experience! They were very apologetic for the "long wait" for our food, but honestly it was not even that long. Just shows that they really care about their customers and are willing to do whatever is necessary for satusfaction. For food we ordered a pizza with a few toppings, and a pasta alforno. The pizza was fine, but I really enjoyed the pasta! I wasn't sure at first as the consistency of the sauce was a little thinner than I was expecting, but it had some great flavor and I ate every last bite! The tiramisu is also definitely a hit! Worth it if you have the space left in your stomach. I'll be returning here, and I will recommend this place to others in the area! read more

The 4 stars are for the excellent service! The young lady that served us was extremely nice and helpful. I sure wish I could remember her name. She told us several of her favorite menu items. Although she had only worked there a few months, we could tell she truly loves the restaurant. We wish the food was as outstanding as the service, but it just didn't impress us. My husband and I had the chicken Parmesan and our daughter had the eggplant parm. We all just felt like the sauce was bland. We had to add salt. The chicken was cooked well but it also lacked seasoning. The garlic rolls are delicious. It would be a nice touch if they served the rolls with olive oil. I don't think we would drive back over here. But the restaurant is beautiful and romantic. And if we lived nearby, we might try another menu item. read more

I ordered ahead online, and picked up dinner to bring home last night. Cute little restaurant in Old Wylie. The lady at the bar who got my food from the kitchen, was very nice. Maybe the food is better when you dine in, but ours was just ok, nothing special. We got salmon picatta , shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, and regular fettuccine Alfredo. We also ordered the homemade rolls, which were very dense, heavy like bricks. No flavor. For dessert we got the slice of chocolate mousse cake, and the tiramisu. My husband liked the cake, but the tiramisu was frozen. I let it thaw on the counter, but the lady fingers were soggy, and had a weird icy texture from being frozen. It was gross & inedible. The portions are on the small side. Overpriced for the portion size in my opinion. read more

I ordered to go and had to wait and saw all this while waiting a few minutes. Very bad. Not good at all. Spaghetti was a small portion not very much at all. More noodles then sauce. Would not order it again. Very disappointed in it. Greek Salad. Fresh veggies and was delicious!! I would go back just to get the salad and that's it. Great salad!! Cannolis were burnt and not all that great either. With all the other choices around town this is a likely I will not return. Thanks!! read more

I ordered the chicken parmigiana, garlic rolls and the chocolate cake through Grubhub. The Chicken in the dish Chicken parmigiana was very stringy and chewy. My knife wouldn't cut through the stringiness I had to pull it apart. Was not tender or juicy, my guess is that they pounded the Chicken brest too much? The spaghetti noodle was cooked nicely, the Seasoning was on point for the sauce & the amounted of melted cheese was reayy good. If they gotten the Chicken right, it would've been a perfect dish. The garlic roll had a nice crisp on top and soft on the inside. Chocolate cake looked like it was from the freezer. I say this because there were frozen frosts in the cake when it was delivered to me. When I think of chocolate cake, I think of sweet and decadent. This was none of those. The Chocolate cake tasted bitter with a very slight hint of sweet (if you look for it). If you like dark chocolate you'd like this cake. I'm not a dark chocolate fan so I didn't enjoy it too much nor was it the flavor I was expecting when I first bit into it. Overall, I think this place has potential to do better and I would try it again one day to see if it's improved. read more

Based on our first-time experience, there is nothing NOT to like about this establishment. I just wish the portions weren't so generous so that we might have had room for the coconut cream pie. BTW, Hailey is an excellent server.

Just average. The mushrooms were just OK. Not a lot of flavor in the creamy sauce. Same with the pasta. Not a lot of flavor and not at all spicy considering it's supposed to be fra diavlo.

There is a certain energy in a restaurant when people trust it, and Creekside has that. We started with the crab and shrimp dip, which came out hot, creamy, and loaded with flavor. It is one of those appetizers that everyone at the table keeps going back to without even thinking about it. For dinner, we ordered the Red Snapper Alexander and the chicken cutlet parmesan, and this is where the night really took off. The red snapper was cooked perfectly, topped with sautéed shrimp in a white wine sauce that added flavor without overwhelming the fish. The balance was impressive, and the presentation matched what you would expect from a much higher priced restaurant. Then there was the chicken parmesan. As Italians, we do not say this lightly, but this dish stood out in a big way. Creekside blends Alfredo and marinara into a creamy, well-balanced sauce that takes a classic and elevates it. The chicken was lightly breaded, the mozzarella was fresh, and every bite delivered. We awarded this dish our Best of the Best for Chicken Parmesan, and that is something we reserve for dishes that truly separate themselves from the rest. Service was excellent throughout the night. Our server Erin was attentive, knowledgeable, and helped guide us to some great choices. One small note, the fish and chips did not quite match the level we had experienced on a previous visit. It was still good, just not at the same level we had come to expect. That said, it did not take away from what was otherwise a fantastic meal. If you are looking for a place that delivers an upscale feel without the upscale price tag, this is it. Great for date nights, family dinners, or just a night out where you want consistently good food.

When I was seated the hostess asked if we wanted to sit close to the music and we enthusiastically agreed. However, I was a little worried at first because it was a one man show. But with the first song he sang I realized he was talented beyond most restaurant singers I have found. By song 2, I was singing along, and by song 3, everyone was having a good time. The food matched the quality of the music. I ordered the Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich. Cindy V ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo. Both dishes were delicious! Making them even more delicious is the fact at how affordable this place is, in fact, for less than $11 I had a sandwich so big, I took half of it home. So if you are looking for some great quality Italian food, accompanied by some great entertainment, I am going to suggest you give this place a try! Review #2157

The owners personally created/decorated it and it's the most inventing space I have been to that serves two purposes - eating and reading. Walls of books greet you as you enter, along with big wooden tables and chairs with a desert bar set up. Wonderful! And when you go into the restaurant, there comfy books lined up along the wall, more table and chairs in the middle, and a touch of home with couches and table in front of the bar. And I don't want o miss out in the description of the restrooms - because they are something to see. A sliding door for the restrooms are books that have been arranged so you feel like you're in a somewhat magical feeder with. Oils arranged in fascinating shapes. They also have a separate room for events and meets - and wow! It's gorgeous too! It truly made me want to host an event here just to experience this room. The food is delicious and the waitstaff are great at making you feel comfortable and welcome. This might have been my first time in this restaurant, but it's just the start of many visits here.
