The best Italian food in Boca Raton! We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Villaggio in Mizner Park. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, making it perfect for a date night or a family gathering. The restaurant is beautiful and elegant--the inside seating features a lovely backdrop of Piazza San Marco in Venice, while the outdoor seating is a bit more casual with a beautiful view of Mizner Park. From the moment we walked in, the manager and hostess made us feel welcome and seated us immediately. The service was amazing from start to finish. We started with delicious appetizers: fresh burrata, tuna tartare, and crispy calamari. For entrees, we had the homemade lobster ravioli, linguine seafood, branzino, and steak. The wine list is impressive, and the staff was very attentive. Can't wait to come back! read more

Amazing! I was in the area for vacation with family and couldn't decide where to eat for dinner and discovered this place while walking around misner park.All of our cocktails were amazing and our dishes were perfect. I would definitely come back read more

Villagio - Fillet franchese, lemoncello drop - Italian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

food was just OK. Service a bit less than average couldn't get my water refilled. As to the food I ordered the shrimp fried Diablo pictured and the sauce tasted like Ragu or Prego out of a jar. Close to disgusting. The chicken piccata was too heavily breaded and not cooked correctly tasted like flour. The eggplant appetizer was the winner of the night and it was pretty good. Salmon was average as well. they did serve a very nice bread basket which saved the night they serve focaccia as well as very fresh delicious bread. Other than that, Nothing to see here for the prices they charge I would absolutely go somewhere else. read more

The service was ok but we won't ever go back! The Lasagna wasn't edible, it was worse than microwaveable lasagna! We took 1 bite each told the server, they didn't offer to fix it. They removed it from the table then tried to charge for it. We asked to speak to the manager he refused to come over. Olive Garden would've been better. Nicely decorated but uncomfortable seating. read more

We went there for lunch with friend and we both have Caesar salads with shrimps and we both got food poisoning ! Stay away from this place ! This place it's not like use to be few years ago! read more

We went here because Max's had a wait time that was over an hour for an outdoor table. The table given to us was too small for our family to fit at. I ordered the chicken parm and vodka pasta. There's a lot better Italian places, in my opinion. Location is nice though. read more

Absolutely disgusting experience at Villagio. I specifically requested a table outside and away from other guests so my toddler and her friend could play near the fountain. Out of nowhere, an older man from another table walked over, grabbed my child by the hand, and screamed "STOP IT NOW." No stranger should ever touch someone else's child. Instead of addressing this completely inappropriate behavior, the manager, Nuro, came to our table and told us to pay and leave, claiming we were a disturbance. My friend was literally trying to close the bill with Apple Pay, while her daughter was on the phone with her father, and the manager repeatedly said he "didn't care" and demanded we leave immediately. Meanwhile, there was a baby crying loudly inside the restaurant, yet somehow our toddlers playing outside were the problem. Our server Francesca was extremely slow and poorly trained, and the food itself is honestly disgusting and overrated. I have even seen a cockroach in my food here before and never made a big issue about it. Allowing a stranger to grab a child, then forcing the family to leave instead of addressing the real problem, is completely unacceptable. Families should avoid this place. Clearly children are not welcome here. The food is horrible and the kitchen is covered with cockroaches. read more

Busy night, party of 10, we sat on the outdoor area outside of the front door. Everything we had here was really average - pizza, seafood, cocktails. Nothing stood out to us. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for date night on February 13th, hoping to avoid the Valentine's Day rush. Unfortunately, we had the worst service. The restaurant wasn't busy--only one large party next to us, and they already had their food and drinks. When we were seated, we were given food menus but not drink menus. It took 15 minutes before someone walked by, and when my boyfriend asked for a drink menu, they brought it and disappeared. After waiting a while, my boyfriend tried to get a server's attention, but the response was a rude "not now" before walking away. I told my boyfriend I hoped he wasn't our server. When we finally got service, we ordered food and a bottle of red wine. The server brought white wine instead, but at least corrected it when we pointed it out. After our food arrived, the server never checked on us. I ordered fettuccine with chicken and mushrooms, but the chicken was missing. Since our server disappeared, we couldn't even address it. I wanted dessert, but my boyfriend suggested we go elsewhere. The server eventually came back--only to clean up after the large party--but still ignored our table. We had to flag someone down just to get our check. At that point, the server asked if we wanted dessert, but we declined. To top it off, my boyfriend mentioned that the same out-of-service stall in the men's bathroom from a year ago was still broken, and the door was rusted at the bottom. We don't usually leave reviews, but after this terrible experience--and both of us working in hospitality--we felt it was necessary. A year ago, we had our second date here and had a great time, so we thought it would be special to return for our first Valentine's. Sadly, it was a huge disappointment. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is that, despite the service issues and the mistake with my order, the food was still good. Also, our first experience here was great. read more

Villagio - Fettuccini Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I had to meet someone here for business, and based on reviews I wasn't expecting much. Yelp was spot on. The food was not fresh at all, we had calamari for our appetizer, there was hardly any actual squid, it was mostly just French fries. I've never seen that done using French fries as filler for calamari. I ordered seafood risotto. None of the seafood was fresh and the risotto itself wasn't the correct texture. The only good thing was the tiramisu. So many great Italian places around, I wouldn't waste my time coming back here. read more

We live near Mizner Park. We have been to every restaurant in the area, except Villagio. What a nice surprise! Excellent service and Delicious Food! The restaurant's decor is a bit tired and very 90s. They can certainly refresh it a tad. However, the place is clean. Food is hot, delicious and on time. They give you a nice aperitivo to start - delicious bruschetta and tasty bread. The prices are decent for Boca. Make sure get the Vitello Parmigiana. It is succulent. read more

Came in tonight for a drink and some food. Ecko was our bartender and he made our night so fun. He was extremely attentive and made sure our drinks were perfect. The food was excellent as well. I will ABSOLUTELY be back, Ecko was awesome! read more

We have lived in Delray for 10 years and never tried this restaurant. I was craving Risotto which apparently a unicorn in South Florida . My daughter used to order from Villago in Brickell all the time when she was at UM and remembered that the Risotto was good. We were not disappointed . The service was excellent, the soft bread was warm and the tomato bruschetta was seasoned perfectly . My mushroom Risotto was very very good. My husband's octopus salad was great. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I asked for fried calamari with zucchini sticks I would have paid extra they gave me seven pieces of calamari for $24 can you believe this seven pieces of calamari I am so disappointed in the service it was pick up I didn't sit there to eat and then I called and he said absolutely nothing this place has gone down a lot that's why there was only four people outside read more

This is a great family Italian spot! It's not the fanciest or the most authentic but very good and always reliable. The service is always good and very quick. The food is pretty good and it's a nice time. Sometimes they have a magician which is kinda fun! read more

Came on a Saturday with 13 people , we were originally seated outside however due to the noise we switched to in door dining, it was much more pleasant to be able to talk to everyone. The staff was friendly, and all food came out around the same time. The food was mediocre, I would say your below average Italian food for the price (it is quite pricey). The highlight item was the pork chop. I read more

Occasion: Spontaneous Date Night PARKING: Free Garage Parking, Valet Location & Ambiance: Wonderful location. This restaurant is located at Mizner Park which is generally a safe area filled with many options for eating and entertainment. This is a great location for taking a stroll and chatting with your date after dinner. The ambiance is truly gorgeous. We got extremely blessed and walked in right as there was LIVE music. The accordion player did an amazing job. She delivered such a romantic experience. To the restaurant owner, please continue with the live music. It truly elevates the experience. Service: I am so upset with myself for not being able to recall the name of our waiter. However, I do remember him saying that if we don't like him, his name is Kevin, which is hilarious. Dear, Kevin, you were amazing. Thank you for such a beautiful experience. I'm sorry I can't recall your name, but just know that you were 100/10!!!! Food: The food? EXQUISITE. That's it. That's all you need to know. My plate took me on a flight away and I do NOT want to return. One way ticket!! Overall: A million/10 What a wonderful experience! We'll surely need to return. Everything was delightful!! read more

We stoped in here for a quick lunch after our elopement ceremony on the beach in a tux and wedding dress last month and the staff treated us so well! We had planned to take pictures in mizner park but needed to get some food and relax. The food was amazing, and the manager invited us to take a couple of great pictures inside the restaurant. Huge thanks to all the staff. Will be back to enjoy the amazing food soon read more

Stopped by for a late lunch after visiting the Boca Museum. We were craving Italian and this place was conveniently located in Mizner Park. They have outdoor dining but you're dining right on the sidewalk while patrons walk by. They try to capitalize their outdoor space by having lots of seats outside but its very crowded and this was the case while we dined. We opted to sit inside. The decor inside was very old school and dated. I ordered a stuffed pasta and a 4 cheese white pizza. The pasta had ricotta and spinach that was covered in this amazing cheesy pink sauce. It was really good! The pizza was thin and really good as well. Our food and service were good but nothing spectacular. If you're already in Mizner Park and want Italian, stop by but if you would a better ambience and food- there a few spots close by that would satisfy this. read more

Fantastic dinner service! My wife and I decided to take part in their "Lobster Tuesday" service. My wife ordered the Maine Lobster with Linguini and Shrimp in a Scampi Sauce and I had the Veal Tortellini in a Pink Sauce! ALL pasta was "Al Dente" and the taste was great! Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I tip my hat to Chef and the staff at this location. The environment was spot on! The Procaccino's will be back and we will pass the word! #LobsterTuesday @ Villagio (Mizner Square) #Boca Raton read more

Great food, good team and etc. i was reading the outside menu when i was surprised by Chris and this was the key, bc i'm allergic to shellfish and he spoke something about lamb chops. So i've got to come inside .. we got served by Crissimir (don't know how to spell, but should be like this) great server, super nice hospitality. Always giving us attention and ready to help in everything. The prices yes, it is a bit high but it's the price that you must pay when you have this whole experience at the restaurant. Surprise, attendance, options, dessert recommendations, upsells.. also, they provided us a bunch of delicious appetizers and stuff, totally for free. Definitely i do recommend this place and i will be back sure! read more

Such a nice evening. Staff very friendly and attentive. Outside patio relaxing although if right at sunset can be a bit too bright so then better to sit inside which is very nice too. Caesar salads quite good. The 2 breads they serve (free) are great. Veal parmesan is a big portion and really good; comes with potatoes and string beans. Recommended for a nice evening read more

This is one of those experiences when the environment is inviting. The servers are nice but none of the food was good. I ordered risotto and the pear martini. My husband had a steak meal and he didn't like it either. I tasted it and it was a bit grainy. My little girl had spaghetti and marinara sauce. The food took a while to come out, at least about 20 minutes. They did bring a variety of breads and butter out while we waited. The food was pretty pricey, I say that because there are a tone of places to eat that have better quality of food and experience. Our ticket for two adults and one kid came out to about $250. read more

Came for drinks while my parents ate dinner. Giving 4 stars because I was so impressed by the service. The service was so attentive and constantly going. So polite and courteous. I started with a mojito which was very strong and then ha a rum passion. It was delicious. Both drinks were great quality. I included some pictures of what my parents ordered. They enjoyed everything the ordered. read more

We went for lunch and we all had different salads. Unfortunately, we found them all that be a bit bland/average. If they were $10 salads, it would be OK but when you get a $23 salad you expect it to be a little better. I have the Amalfi seafood salad. It had two mussels, two clams & two slices of octopus. It was in need of salt, but there was none at the table. I'm not a picky person but for $23, I would think you'd get a little more seafood. read more

Every time I come here I ask why don't we eat here more often. The food is so great. Favorites are the tuna tartare, Caeser salad, lobster ravioli, veal parmesan (to die for). The cocktails are amazing as well. Service was fantastic too. This restaurant has been around forever and there's no surprise why. Sometimes the oldies are the best ones! read more

Food was ok, although portions seemed smaller than last year. Service was good and the food came out quickly. However I used the men's restroom and it was disgusting. The wooden door was rotted out, a urinal was covered with a plastic bag, the door frame was rusted out and the floor was covered in piles of rust. This took months to happen and the management ignored this disgusting mess. Could you imagine if they let a public area get this horrible I couldn't imagine what an area like the kitchen which is not open to the public looks like. See attached disgusting pictures read more

On this very busy Christmas night, not a table was available, reservation only. Notwithstanding, the service was prompt, efficient, and attentive; the food offered something for everyone, tasted great, and left us satisfied. They ran out of table clothes, but given the crush of reservations, we understood. I indulged in the chicken parmigiana, it was delicious and came with capellini (angel hair) with marinara. I asked for arrabiata sauce instead, which they clearly didn't have, so they threw on some hot pepper flakes. Not the best solution, but more than edible. Everyone enjoyed the place, we would certainly return. read more

Food is overpriced and the service isn't better either. Also when we were dining here the manager got into a physical fight with some kitchen personnel. Saw it whenever taking my daughter to the bathroom since one has to walk by it. Also alcoholic drinks tasted like nothing. Better places around here. Wouldn't come back here ever again. Also wouldn't recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Amazing food and service! Perfecto. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Boca Raton to eat something nice read more

Villagio - Mushroom ravioli with chicken - Italian Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We had dinner last night at Villagio In Boca and I'm a few words " it was very good". Three martinis and a glass of wine to begin with. Drinks were terrific. Caesar salad was very good as well. Veal Milanese and Veal Parmigiana were our entrees and they were perfectly cooked and delicious. Cappacino to close was perfect. There was and is a vibe dining outside which was not only unexpected , but good as it reflects good drinks and dining. The wait staff was very good which is nice to say as in this day of Covid , it's not easy to find as most of the restaurants have all new people. As year round residents I know we will return. Bravo Villagio. read more

Nice romantic restaurant located in Mizner Park. Great location, free parking in the garage, perfect to walk around after eating. They have several options on the menu that they can easily veganize if you hold the cheese. You get free bruschetta, super tasty and flavorful, and yummy fresh baked bread for appetizer. I highly recommend two dishes: rigatoni melanzane (pasta with great sauce and delicious eggplant), and linguine del selvaggio (excellent mushroom dish), just hold the cheese on both. Tell the waiter you are vegan and they are happy to accommodate you. They often have live music here at night and the atmosphere is perfect for a date night. read more

Business seems to have dropped since my last visit in March. Due to the weather, no outside seating was set up. However, inside was not very full for a Friday night. There has been some new venues opening up at Mizner to compete with this location. Anyhow, with that said, as a result, service improved a bit even when the staff has decreased tremendously. I enjoyed my Happy Hour Riesling and Eggplant. Our table of 10+ seemed to have had a great time as there was no rush to turnover our tables. So, sometimes it's better to enjoy an older venue than to step into an overcrowded understaffed new place on a Friday night. read more

Villagio left almost no impression on us; I'd have to work really hard to remember a more forgettable place. Nothing horrible, just.... unremarkable. They have an amazing location in Boca, and the view of the promenade is very satisfying, if sometimes a bit occluded by the ostentatious valet station (ridiculous in a plaza with immense amounts of free parking), and the decor and general atmosphere are 100% Boca... but the food,though ridiculously, if expectedly, overpriced, was not really good enough to get us back, or steal us from Yard House. read more

The food at Villagio is inconsistent and at times poorly thought out. These people are probably not Italian and this is not a family restaurant. I have been there several times and it never fails to disappoint. It should be $$$ not $$. There are better choices for Italian food, but to find it in Boca is challenging. read more
