Reviews
"Food: Ordered the Agnolotti which is cheese and spinach stuffed shells in tomato-basil sauce. I liked the shells and sauce separately but didn't feel as though they complimented each other. The creaminess contrasted with the acidity in the tomato sauce. I'd consider ordering it again but with exception of changing the sauce to a creamy garlic Parmesan instead. On a positive though, I did finish the whole dish and it didn't feel heavy or bloating on the stomach afterwards. The desserts did not fail. My friend ordered the creme brulee and I ordered the tiramisu. The tiramisu was very fluffy and creamy, very little espresso or lady fingers in it. I didn't mind it. The creme brulee was noted to be very sweet, but the burnt sugar on top wasn't as desirable. Presentation of everything was pleasing. Service: We had a young male waiter who was friendly enough but wasn't well-versed in the menu. He had recommendations when inquired about it, but nothing too detailed of a reference. He didn't leave me convinced of wanting to order anything in particular. But that's just me being nit-picky. A lot of the servers were young men. Atmosphere: Incredibly cozy, Italian vibes. Truly feels like you're wrapped around in a little village. I'd return simply for the atmosphere. Beautiful paintings and decor cover the walls with detailed brick and lights strung from the ceiling. My only complaint is the dim lighting for photos."
"Wow! My partner and I had the best experience here. We were seated right away, our server and the waitstaff were magnificent and efficient, and the food was some of the best Italian we’ve had. For reference, we ordered the cheesy garlic bread, seafood ravioli, and the sausage gnocchi. Will definitely have to come back next time we visit!"
"Delicious, no frills Italian food. Highly recommend the risotto, with some added shrimp and a shot of espresso to cap off your meal. Portions are hefty, had enough for a second dinner. I only wish we were able to sit in one of the more private, cute booths to the side. Guess we'll just have to come back!!"
"We arrived to our reservation earlier than expected, and the staff worked promptly to still seat us right away. Our waitress was kind, respectful, and attentive. We ordered pizza bread, gnocchi con salsiccia, and chicken Parmesan. Each our entrees came with either a soup or salad. Everything was absolutely delicious! We drank some delicious espresso martinis as well. They were also quick to give us more bread service, the bread was fresh and warm. The ambiance is intimate and lively. I can’t wait to return to The Village!"
"The menu has changed since Covid so if you used to come here in the old days there are many dishes no longer on the menu. But the old Italian Village design remains the same and unmatched for its wonderful history. The lasagna, pasta, veal Marsala are all still delicious. It’s more casual than it used to be but service was excellent and portions huge. After all these years it’s still a great place."
